Directions
I recently had guests at landed when it was raining very heavily.So i had to cook something very fast but which they would like for the rainy weather . Went into the kitchen and saw that I had no onion to make bajji. so checked the fridge to see what vegetables were available and i could see only cabbage and zucchini. I thought why not sneak in the zucchini in masala vadai . With a little apprehension I tried and served hot vadai’s to them and they enjoyed it without realising it had a good amount of zucchini too

Perfect with a cup of coffee ,rainy or otherwise! So wise of you to sneak in zucchini!!!
What I meant to say was, so clever of you to sneak in zucchini. I would have never come up with this idea even if the zucchinis were staring straight into my eyes!
😀
That is such a clever way of sneaking in the zucchini! For me, masala vada is ultimate. Any green or red inside it really doesn’t matter… 🙂
Masala vadas look nice and crunchy. and what a fantastic idea to sneak in the veggies.
Vadas look so crunchy and nice way you sneaked in so much zucchini.

i love the vadais but never able to make them like the ones you have here, and zucchini is a great idea to sneak in
