Notes
You can add some finely chopped onions and vegetables along with it. My kids will pick so I skipped it.
You can add some grated cheese and make cheese balls.
You can shape them as vadai too.
if you don't have leftover semiya, you can cook semiya and use.
Adjust the spices according to your preference
If the mixture is sticky, you can add some flour to adjust consistency or add some curd/water if it is dry.
