Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Chocolate Sooji Vada
- For extra fluffy vadas, whisk the yogurt batter lightly before adding the semolina.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the vadas in batches to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your liking. You can also add a pinch of cardamom powder for extra flavor.
- If you don't have an appam pan, you can use a small non-stick pan or even a regular frying pan.
