Clean the banana flower and cut them into fine like cutting coriander leaves.  (Important cut the banana flower only while making the vada otherwise they will turn dark in colour)

Grind the moong dal into a thick paste adding red chillies, salt required, asafoetida and cumin seeds. Do not add water to it.  Add the ground paste to a bowl and add cut banana flower, turmeric powder, besan flour, rice flour, one tsp oil and mix them all together.   Make vadas  and arrange it in a airfryer plate.  Brush some oil on top of the vada and airfry them for 15-20 mts., flipping the vada after one side becomes golden brown.  When both sides become golden brown take it out and enjoy.
