Soak the black gram in water for 2hrs minimum. Grind it using a mixer avoiding water if possible. If needed, add 2-3 teaspoons of water. Keep it aside for fermentation 6-8 hrs. (This is recommended to get crispy vadas.) After that add the ingredients from 2 to 8 to the black gram and mix it well. Heat the oil in a frying pan, apply a little cold water in your hands, make balls and press slightly using palms to get a firm flat round shape. Using the finger make a hole in the middle. Place it in the oil and deeply fry. Ready to serve.
