• You can also make mini vadais by shaping the mixture into small bite-sized balls.
• Leftover vadais can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Store the vadais in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To serve, reheat the vadais in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes until crispy.
• Serve the vadais hot with coconut chutney, sambar, or tomato ketchup for dipping.
