1. Finely chop the onions vertically and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and keep it aside for 5 minutes. The adding of salt brings out the moisture from onions which is used to mix the flours

2. Finely chop the green chillies and add it to the chopped onions

3. Add besan flour, rice flour, red chilli powder, salt, turmeric powder, fennel seeds, coriander leaves , baking soda and curry leaves to the onion and mix well and knead it nicely only using moisture from onions. We should not add any water. The moisture content in onions is enough to get a thicker dough

4. Heat oil in a pan. Test the hotness of oil by adding a pinch of dough. If it sizzles up immediately, then the oil is in the right hotness
5. Take small amount of dough and make it a ball and drop it gently in the oil. 

1. Keep the flame in medium and fry the vadas evenly in all sides

2. Remove the fried ulli vadas from oil and place it in a plate having paper towel to drain the excess oil

3. The yummy, spicy and crispy Ulli Vada (Onion Vada) is ready to Serve with Hot Tea / Coffee. We can make Coconut chutney or Coriander-Curry leaves chutney and serve with Ulli vadas
