Quick Tips
- Oil temperature for frying: It’s very important to know perfect oil temperature for frying crispy Pakoras. If the oil is too hot the Pakoras will not be cooked properly and won’t be crisp; if the oil is not hot enough, the Pakoras will be greasy and take long time to cook.
- Choice of daal/lentils: You can choose any varieties of daal as per your choice and preference. You can make vada with just one variety also like split yellow moong daal, Split green moong daal or Urad daal.
- Kids friendly: Skip using chilies and ginger and make them kids friendly
