Yam Vada

A light snack with a cup of tea in rainy season who will not enjoy. Try and enjoy yourself with your family and friends. Making vada using yam is the best recipe I could think of with yam, it is so tasty and whoever tastes this vada will really love a lot. By applying the coconut oil in hands would avoid the itchiness. For kids after school, wanna give some healthy snack. It’s just a filling and obviously a healthy one.

Notes
