Ingredients:

1 cup Yellow Cornmeal,
1/2 cup Plain flour,
1 tbsp Cornstarch,
1 cup fresh or 1/2 cup frozen Fenugreek leaves(Methi),
1/2 tsp sugar(yes,sugar!),salt,few green chillies chopped,
1 medium Onion minced,
1 tsp grated ginger,
1/4 tsp baking soda,
3 tbsp hot oil,and some Cilantro(optional)

Method:

Mix all the above dry ingredients and add hot oil and mix.Add enough hot water to make a thickish dough and keep it aside for 10 mins.It must not be thin which makes it soggy and too soft to make shapes and fry.

Heat enough oil to deep fry around 370F, and take 1-2 tbsp of dough and drop it carefully into the oil.Fry rolling them on all sides to a golden color and drain on paper towel.Make sure oil is at the right temp. Too hot,Vadas burn on the outside and still raw inside.If oil is not hot enough, Vadas sucks too much oil and becomes very soggy.

Serve these delicious tasting and very crispy Methi fritters with any sweet and tangy sauce you have like Delhi Chaat sauce or just as they are with coffee or Tea or with Kadhi and rice as a sidedish as well.
