hi there, i suppose we use the same amount of rice flour if we were to substitute for wheat flour? Thanks

Tarla Dalal    Yes you can use. But we suggest you roll and shape one and vada and ty deep-frying it. If it disintegrates, add little more rice flour and continue as per the recipe.

First time I ever tried a vada using chawli beans... they turned out to be fantastic. Even my 5 yr old enjoyed it. It''s non-fried so absolutely healthy. Will surely make it again.
