Curry:

• In a Pan heat oil, once it is hot add mustard and jeera, once they start to splutter add onions, curry leaves and fry till the onions are tasnslucent, then add tomatos and fry for a while, then add ground masala, salt and turmeric powder and fry on medium heat until masala is light brown in color now add red chilli powder, 1cup of water and cook for about 5min., once the gravy starts to boil, drop in the masala vadas and switch off the heat, close it with the lid......( the gravy should be little watery consistency before dropping the vadas, later vadas absorb the water and the gravy gets thick)serve it after 15min., this helps vadas to incorporate the flavors of gravy and they turn little soft......
