Masala Vadai | Paruppu Vadai | Lentil Fritters


Masala Vadai
Masala Vadai is a South Indian Snacks usually accompanied with Tea or payasam.  In my native place, we get vadai paruppu for making this masala vadai. It resembles more like chana dal. As I am fed up of searching this vadai paruppu in Bay area, I replaced it with Chana Dal. This is an irresistable snacks and you can't stop with one or two. My mom usually prepares this for evening snacks . Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing South Indian Masala Vadai.
