Though one can put it as a part of bhaja, but I think it has got its own niche. Vegetarian or non-vegetarian ingredients fried with a coat of batter is what makes the vada different from the common bhaja. I was a bit confused to find such a post in Pakistan times site. But looking at the author profile, the confusion went away. Being a Bengali myself I could relate to every word of the article, and I feel that is where the success of this post is. Ambarish,
