This is an awesome recipe which you can enjoy when its raining. The usual batata vada masala of potatoes, chillies and garlic team up brilliantly with pomegranate, cashews and raisns, adding a sweet note and a crunch. Whereas the fennel seeds and sesame seeds in the tempering add to the aroma and a nutty flavour to the vadas.
