- Sugar is optional in this recipe.you can avoid.
- You can give tempering to the yogurt.for that, you need to make Tadka of mustard seeds,cumin seeds ,urad dal,curry leaves.
- Be care-full while making batter.Your batter should be thick so that you can put vadas using your hands. If you can't, you can use your spoon as well.
- Don't ferment batter more than 4 hours because we don't want to make it too tangy.
