Pour the vegetable oil into a deep pan or kadai and heat over a medium flame.

A szakács megjegyzése: The oil is ready when a tiny drop of batter sizzles and rises to the surface immediately.

Wet your hands, take a small portion of the batter, and carefully slide it into the oil. Fry a few vadas at a time, turning them occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
