- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter; otherwise, the vadas will become soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; fry in batches to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Experiment with different chocolate sauces – dark, milk, or white chocolate – to find your favorite combination.
