Chef's Notes
Do not let the lentil batter turn into a smooth paste. A coarse grind is the absolute secret to achieving that authentic, shatteringly crisp exterior.
Pro Tip
Chop your fenugreek leaves finely and ensure your hands are slightly wet when shaping the vadas to prevent the sticky dough from clinging to your fingers.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Adding water while grinding the lentils will turn your proud vada batter into a runny soup that absorbs half the oil in your kitchen and dissolves instantly upon contact with the heat!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal jester claims that calling methi vadas 'healthy' because they contain greens is the exact same logic as eating a giant bucket of fried chicken because it comes with a side of lettuce.
The Culinary Science
Fenugreek leaves contain natural moisture that releases during frying; kneading the salt into the leaves first helps draw out excess water, ensuring a crispier vada.
