  • Add finely chopped onions,coriander,curry leaves and grated carrot and mix well.
  • Heat oil in a deep kadai over low flame until it is quite hot.
  • Grease a thick plastic cover or banana leaf or your palm with oil and take a small portion of batter and make a round ball out of it and slight pat it until it forms vada by pressing it at the edges and carefully lower them into hot oil and fry them over medium flame until it is golden brown and crisp outer side.
  • Drain them on paper towels and serve it hot with tomato ketchup.

  • Add broken red chillies and fry for a minute.Now add curry leaves and hing and fry for another minute.
  • Add cooked and drained lobia and stir fry for few minutes,do this process carefully in order to avoid lobia to become mushy.

Both dishes look superb and very tmepting Prathibha .... and regarding substituting yeast for those idlis in my blog post... I asked mom and she said can try cooking soda just before pouring idlis... looks like traditionally they used toddy for fermenting instead of yeast ... but can avoid both and use soda or even can try eno salt :)
