Instructions

Pluck coriander leaves only. Wash thoroughly and drain excess water. Spread them on absorbent paper napkins and pat dry them to remove lingering moisture. Leave aside to dry out.
Chop the coriander leaves finely.

Mix well. As you mix, the dough starts to moisten and this will help to bind it together. Avoid adding water to the dough.
Shape the dough in a log shape or spread it out on a greased Dhokla plate.
Steam the dough in a steamer or pressure cook without whistle for 20 minutes or until firm.
Cool the dough and cut them in roundels or squares with a serrated knife. Keep the slices thin so that they are fried evenly and thoroughly.
Heat oil in nonstick pan. Shallow fry the vadis (fritters) on medium low heat till golden on both sides.
