Method:

For the filling -
- Grind all three aromatics (garlic, ginger and green chillies) together into a coarse paste.
- Heat 1 & 1/2 tbsp. oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. Once they start spluttering, add asafoetida (heeng) and curry leaves. Add the ginger, chilli and garlic paste. Saute it for a minute.

Frying -
- Make 1 & 1/2 inch balls of potato filling.
- Just before frying, add 2 pinches of soda bicarbonate into the batter. Pour some hot oil over it and let it react and mix it together.
- Dip the potato balls well into the batter and add them to the hot oil.
- Fry them on a medium flame. Let them turn golden brown. Flip them well.
- Remove the ready vadas on a kitchen towel so that all the excess oil is absorbed.
