Uzhunnu Vada

I wanted to try making uzhunnu vada.I browsed the method in Internet and tried following the same way.Everything was easy except for making the hole to make the vada look like a doughnut
 and somehow I managed to make it somewhat okay after few vadas. My vada was tasty and looked average for a beginner and I should say my hubby has been my Guru in the making of this vada.
Its not because he knows how to make it, but he did give me a lot of suggestions on making the vada, especially on how to make the hole.  All ideas were not good, but it helped me.and he wants me to give him the credit he deserves :-)
