This vada is perfect as a time time snack and can be served with Green Coriander Chutney and Tomato Sauce too.

Adding Methi Leaves is optional , but it tastes really great. One can add some chopped Coriander too or even plain Vada can also be made …

If you like soft and chewy Bajri Vada, add less quantity of Oil while kneading dough. Next day Vada will be soft . With mentioned measurement , Vada will remain crispy even next day.

I have made this very tasty Methi Bajri Na Vada with IDHAYAM GROUNDNUT OIL. Using this traditional , unrefined ,natural and pure groundnut oil gives pleasure and satisfaction towards health of my family. Idhayam Mantra Groundnut Oil is a heart friendly oil too. The high smoking point of groundnut oil makes it ideal for deep frying.
