    Hello Seena,

    Ur site is simply superb. Its very different from the normal ones which provide recipes. Urs with pictures help us to visualise when we read recipes itself. I started trying one by one in that. Made ullivada today and it was very tasty . I added Jeerakam also in that and that came out well .

    Well I am looking for the recipe for beef fry and kerala porotta. Could you please share that if you have these two.


    Thanks in advance - Sujitha

    Hi there, hopped over from Foodie Blogroll. I think you have a fantastic blog here. You share all your recipes and not just photos.

    This onion vada intrigues me because I just tried making some based on a recipe I found on a packet of gram flour. Over in UK, they call them onion bhajis (which I know the word bhaji is not right).

    Could you please tell me why mine turned out a bit dry? Should I perhaps prefry (sweat) the onions first?

    Thanks.

    Judy,
    Welcome!
    Thanks for the comment.
    No need to fry the onions first. I think you have added more gram flour thats why it turned dry. If you found so, pls keep the mixture for a while, till the onion produces water and make the mixture wet.
    Hope this helps you.
