Adding two tablespoons of toordal with the urad dal will make the vadai more crispier. Especially for sambar vada there is no need to add onions in the flour. Instead, we put onions in sambar. And only tomato and onions for the sambar. No vegetables needed in the sambar for the sambar vada.

Well reading all the bad comments from different people iam refraining from trying this recipe.Anjali no disrespect please.
You cannot make a tasty uzhunnu vada with this recipe. You have to add small onions, ginger, chilli and curry leaves to make a better vada.
Arey, I dont think this uzhunnu vada is gonna taste good.No spices and other main ingredients.
Atleast didn`t say fry in water insted of oil
Hi Anjali,
This is not the way to prepare vada.
You explained in a good way. I appreciate your way of preparing samabar vada.
Hi Anjali,
This is not Vada. This uzhunnu Unda. To make vada ,ginger and chill is essential.
This is uzhunnuvada(sambaravada)she is right,but she jzt missed about adding and ginger and green chilli to it 🙂
