🥗Healthier: quinoa flour

💰Cheaper: whole wheat flour

Quinoa flour is gluten-free and healthier, while whole wheat flour is more affordable.

fenugreek leaves

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: mustard greens

Spinach is a healthier option, and mustard greens are often less expensive.

Wash and chop fenugreek leaves finely.

In a mixing bowl, combine bajri flour, wheat flour (fine), wheat flour (thick), besan, chopped fenugreek leaves, crushed green chilies, garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, asafoetida, and salt according to taste.

Mix the dry ingredients well.

Add curd gradually to form a thick batter.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, take small portions of the batter and shape them into round vadas.

Carefully drop the vadas into the hot oil, frying in batches.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

Remove vadas and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
