I have a close friend of mine who is from Hyderabad and they cook a very delicious dish, Cabbage Vada. First time when I went to their home, I wonder how the taste would be, but to my surprise it was dainty and to my surprise it is only a shallow frying of vadas and not deep frying. Then, I got the recipe from them and I have presented here. Hope you all will also enjoy the wonderful and
