💥Cheesy Dill Masala Vada💥

This happened a few weeks ago to use up the last slices of white American cheese laying in the fridge. And the result? Yummy cheesy masala round vada!!💯😆😋

What I did: Rolled the cheese slice into a small ball, placed it inside a small portion of the regular dill vada mixture, rolled it into a bigger ball, and deep-fried until done!🥰
