- Now, add water chestnut flour and knead it well. Gradually add sabudana and make a nice mixture.
Step 2
- Make small round balls out of the mixture and give them the shape of your choice (I made flat round vadas)
- Turn the gas on, place a kadhai and pour oil and heat up for frying. Place the vadas in the heated oil and fry on medium flame while stirring lightly for around 10-12mins. Turn around and fry nicely on both side.
- Take them out of the kadhai on a tissue paper so the excess oil drains off.
