chutneys) used while the Vada remains

• For making stuffing for Vada
•  Boil the potatoes until just done. Make sure
  they are firm and not mushy. You can use a
  pressure cooker, steamer, or pot to boil them.
•  Once boiled, crumble them lightly.
•  Make a coarse paste using green chili, garlic
  and ginger.
•  Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Add mustard,
  when they begin to crackle.
•  Now add curry leaves and fry them until crisp.
•  Pour the ginger garlic and green chili paste.
  Fry the mix on low heat until it turns fragrant.
• Next put in hing, salt, turmeric and red chili
  powder and mix these well. Then add potatoes and
  coriander leaves. Turn off the stove and mix
  everything well.
• Let this mixture cool down, then make 7 to 8
  balls.

• For making Vada
• Heat some oil for deep frying the potato balls.
• Add some gram flour and rice flour (or cornflour)
  to a mixing bowl.
• Now add salt, hing, turmeric and red chili powder
  (optional). Mix everything well, adding water as
  needed and make the batter neither too thick nor
  too thin. Check if the salt and spice are as per
  your liking and adjust if needed.
• When the oil gets hot enough, add a tiny pinch of
  soda to the batter and mix it well. This is
  optional.
• Drop a small amount of batter in the oil to check
  if it is hot enough. The batter should rise, once
  put in the oil.
• Turn the flame to a medium setting.
• To coat all the potato balls with the batter, dip
  each ball in the batter and then drop in the oil.
  You can use your fingers or a tablespoon to do
  this. You can drop about 3 to 5 balls in each
  batch depending on the size of your cauldron.
• Do not disturb them for a few moments, gently
  stir and fry until they get golden.
• Drain them using a kitchen tissue.
• Deseed the green chilies to prevent them from
  bursting. Place the green chilies in a mesh
  strainer or colander. In the same hot oil, fry
  the deseeded green chilies lightly.
• Do not over fry them.
