2.Take a polythene bag or Ziploc bag,use oil to grease the polythene bag take a small lemon sized ball of batter ,put it in the polythene bag and flatten it touch some oil in your finger and make hole in the centre .

3.In a tawa add the oil when it gets really hot put the vadai ,remember he fire should be below medium because the vadai will get brown fast because of the sugar,so with low fire cook the vadai,the color of he vadai will be brown.

Note:

• If by mistake you added water when grinding then add 1 tablespoon of rice flour it will help in thickening the batter.
• Cook in low fire.
