Bajri na wada




Found this receipe on: http://www.spiceupthecurry.com/bajri-vada-recipe/

Changes I make to the receipe: Add 2 tbsp more oil to the dough.

Reason I make the changes: To adjust the crispiness to my taste. By adding more oil they are more crispy.

Special note: Follow the recipe exactly to get a great taste, especially the tips.
