Transfer the batter from the wet grinder to a bowl. Beat the batter with your palm. This process froms more fluffy vada.
Add in crushed pepper, Chopped onion, Curry leaves, asafoetida powder and salt to taste.
Heat oil in a frying pan for deep frying the vadas.

Drop the vadas carefully into the oil. Fry them until the vadas are turn golden brown.

Yumm vada are now ready to serve. Serve the vadas with coconut chutney.
