Description
Vadai, also known as "vada," is a popular South Indian snack known for its crispy and savory goodness. These fried fritters are made from a mixture of soaked and ground lentils, typically urad dal (black gram), seasoned with a blend of spices and herbs. To prepare Vadai, the lentils are soaked, and then the soaked dal is ground into a thick batter. The batter is seasoned with ingredients like curry leaves, green chilies, cumin seeds, and sometimes onions or grated coconut. Small portions of this seasoned batter are shaped into flat or round patties and deep-fried until they turn golden brown and crispy. Vadai comes in various forms, with two of the most popular varieties being "Medu Vadai" (fluffy, doughnut-shaped) and "Masala Vadai" (spiced, flattened patties). These fritters are often served with chutneys or sambar and are enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side dish in South Indian cuisine. Their irresistible crunchy exterior and flavorful interior make them a favorite among snack enthusiasts.
