Sweet Corn Oats Masala Vada is a deep fried appetizer or snack prepared with sweet corn, oats, herbs and some spices to tantalize your taste buds.
1. Adjust spice levels with chillies. Skip chillies to make them kid friendly.
2. Ensure to grind the mixture to a coarse paste and not too smooth.
3. The consistency should be thick, otherwise the vadas absorb a lot of oil while deep-frying.
4. In case you feel the consistency of the mixture is not tight enough, you can add a tablespoon of rice flour or Chickpea or gram flour (besan), which is given as an optional ingredient.
5. You can substitute fennel seeds for cumin seeds, which gives a different flavour to the vadas.
6. You can also include Mint leaves, which adds a great flavour to the vadas.
