TENE GARELU:


For tene garelu...make sugar syrup with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 c of water.
Immense the fried vada in the syrup while it is hot.Turn the vada both sides.
Take out.Repeat with the other vada.

KARAM GARELU:(spicy vada)


For Spicy vada ...add some chopped green chillies ,coconut pieces ,onion(optional) ,chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves to the grinned vada mix .Shape them like garelu and fry them in the oil.

NOTE:I fermented the vada batter because i used a mixie to grind it.To my knowledge if we use a mixie ,and we immediately fry the vadas they will become very hard.If u use a wet grinder it is recommended to fry immediately after grinding the batter.I follow like this.U can use whatever way u like it.
