Sweet Urad Dal Vadai / Inippu Ulunthu Vadai

     Sweet Vadai is a really good twist on vadai; I first had sweet vadais in my sister’s in-law’s house. This is also too easy to prepare and I suggest this to beginners wanting to try their first diwali sweet.

4. Heat the oil in a deep fry pan, wet the hand with water and make lemon size balls from the batter.
5.  Place the ball on the oil applied sheet and press it gently. Make a hole at its center.  Then turn over the ball on your fingers and put it in the hot oil carefully.
6. Cook till the vadai becomes golden color on both sides. Take it out from the oil and keep it aside.
Make vadai from whole batter like procedure from 4-6.

Sugar syrup procedure:
1. Mix water and sugar in a bowl. Bring it to boil till the sugar dissolves completely.
2. Then strain the syrup using metal strainer and then add cardamom powder. Mix well and again bring it boil till the sugar syrup becomes little bit thick. (pisupisupu patham ot like gulab jamun syrup consistency)
3. Sugar syrup is ready and keep it aside.

Sweet vadai making Procedure:
