After it cools to room temperature shape the mixture into evenly shaped round Vadas.Heat the remaining Oil in a fry pan and shallow fry each Vada for at least 5 minutes on medium heat.Take 2 – 3 minutes per side.If the heat is kept on medium each side would be crisp and delicious with a lovely soft centre.
