This vada reminds me of the malayalam film star Salim Kumar's dialogue in one of his movies.."kaanaan look illanae ullu"😛...(not all that great in looks )..these not so perfectly shaped vada's were yummm...it was light and crispy..but somehow I couldn't shape it properly..I should master the art of making the vada's with the hole..
