This is a very easy and good for you recipe. You could call it lentil-vegetable patties, cutlets or vadais. You can add any vegetable that you have on hand to make the vadais. Some of the common vegetable vadais are corn vadai, carrot vadai, beetroot vadai, cabbage vadai, spinach vadai, capsicum vadai, radish vadai etc. The vadais are traditionally fried. For people on diet, the vadais can be baked. Here is the recipe for corn vadai.

4. Grease a baking tray and line the vadas. Sprinkle 1 or 2 drops of oil on top of each vada.

- The same vadas can be made by deep frying too.
- Use a parchment paper in the baking tray to remove the vadas easily.
- You can make the vada mixture and refrigerate too. But it will absorb lot of oil. So try making the mixture only when needed.
