Notes
Grind the batter by adding little water,if the vada drinks too much water adjust it by adding a tsp of rice flour into it.
You can add any variety of keerai(spinach),preferably murungai keerai and sirukeerai tastes good.
We can add the black pepper while grinding instead of adding pepper powder.
Fry it in medium flame so that the vada turns crispy and also it will not get burn.
