Onion Vada / Ulli vada

It may sound childish but believe it or not I was a person who was scared of deep frying things just because I was simply scared of hot oils :) But  gradually I am overcoming that fear and has started deep frying things on my own  but with all precautions ! I always use a spoon to put things in hot oil and also while taking things out from hot oil, I use 2 spoons ,one for taking it out  and other one  to protect the thing from falling back in :) Sounds crazy right ?

Anyway coming to today's post, its a precious deep fried onion vada which I made few days before when a blogger friend of mine visited my place with her hubby.Perfect to munch on a rainy day with hot cup of masala tea !
