dear Barjana, I have been making masal vades from a long time, but somehow, they are not as perfect as they should be. Your recipe seems to be different,I will definitely give it a try. Thanks so much
In any deep fry item if you add 2 spoons of hot oil to the mixture it will give crispiness. If you try once, then you will never fail to do next time because of the crispiness.
