Healthy and crunchy vada





Airfryer has been one of the best investment of 2018. I was initially hesitant to get one as I use the oven frequently and was skeptical if the airfryer would be any different. Turns out, the dishes turn out to be more crunchier in the airfryer. I can now relish all my favourite fried dishes without any guilt.

Ambode being my favourite snack, it was the first dish I tried in the airfryer. I was amazed at the consistent outer crunch and a soft backed inside.
