Crispy Crunchy Urad Dal Vada
Crispy crunchy Urad dal vada is a savory fritter-type snack that makes an excellent combo with piping hot cup of coffee or tea. The secret of crispiness of this vada lies in the batter consistency. The batter shouldn’t be tight or runny. It indeed needs some practice and advise to make this crispy delicious. I learnt it from my mil and here goes the traditional favorite recipe..!
