Chef's Notes
Do not add extra water during the mixing stage. The moisture drawn out from the salted onions is more than enough to bind the flours together.
Pro Tip
Keep your hands slightly damp or lightly oiled while shaping the vadas to prevent the sticky onion mixture from gluing itself to your fingers.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping wet, soaking-puddled onion clumps straight into boiling oil without proper shape, resulting in a disastrous, exploding cloud of greasy confetti.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the onion cry during the recipe? Because it realized it was about to become a deep-fried celebrity instead of staying in a boring salad.
The Culinary Science
Massaging salt into onions breaks down their cellular walls through osmosis, releasing water that acts as the primary liquid binder for your flours.
