Take some oil in hand, crush the dough and break it into small balls.  Now take out one ball and cover the rest.  Make a peda by making this ball round, then roll it a little thin from the whole.  Keeping 2 spoons of stuffing on it, stuffing is to be kept in a light long oval shape.  Now roll it by turning a little from the edges, then apply a little water on the last end and roll it while sticking it.  Now make it uniform by pressing lightly.  Similarly assemble the rest.

 

Process of frying Sambar Vadi

 

Heat oil in a pan on low flame, remember oil should be medium hot.  When hot, put as many sambar vadis as you can in one turn.  When they are lightly roasted from under them, turn them and fry them till they become nice golden brown from all sides.  They have to be stirred continuously because they have to be roasted from all sides, as well as after 5-6 minutes when they become light golden, turn up the flame lightly and fry them till dark golden brown.  Then take them out and fry the rest in the same way, Sambar Vadi will be ready.
