Method

1. Firstly, in a bowl, add poha and water, and wash them properly.
2. Transfer the washed poha into a large bowl and mash it well.
3. In a tadka pan, add oil, chana dal, and mustard seeds, and let them splutter well.
4. Add fennel seeds, urad dal, curry leaves, and pour this mixture into the bowl.
5. Add onion, ginger, green chilli, sugar, and salt to taste and mix everything well.
6. Add a little curd and mix it well. Take a spoonful of the mixture and make a tikki; flatten slightly.
7. Heat oil in a shallow pan. Once the oil is hot, slide the vada into it.
8. Once the vada is slightly golden, turn it over. Fry the vada on a medium flame until it's cooked through.
9. Remove and place the vada on a kitchen tissue to soak up excess oil. Fry them again until they turn evenly crisp and golden.
10. Drain the vadas again on a kitchen tissue to remove excess oil.
11. Finally, serve poha vada with green chutney and fresh salad.
