Note:
While grinding urad dhal, I have added only 1tbsp (3tsp) of water, don’t add excess water. You must mix with a spoon while you are giving pulse so that, it will get blended evenly
Furthermore, use peppercorns depending on your taste
For patting vadas you can use plantain leaf, parchment paper(greaseproof paper) too. but apply some oil over it before you pat it because the dough will get stick over the sheet/ leaf
Fry it in medium flame to make it golden brown and to almost crisp
