Masal Vadai Recipe | Masala Vada | Paruppu Vadai Recipe

Masal Vadai or Masala Vada is a popular south Indian snack that is prepared using Channa dal or yellow split peas. I can proudly say that this Masal Vadai is my signature recipe, I never made a failure attempt. Even if you ask me to cook with my eyes closed I can make this vada perfectly. I am a big fan for tea kadai Masal vadai and more than the Medhu vada i love this masal vada for snack or as a side dish with Rasam and rice.

In my hometown, there are plenty of roadside side shops where you can find Masal vada, Medhu Vada, Bajji, Bonda, Samosa, Onion Pakoda any time of the day particularly during noon and evening time. We lived the town Agraharam area for three years and the house where we lived was in main commercial street, so we have a favorite snack shop near our house and often we get masal vada, onion pakoda, vazhakkai baji especially during the Autumn/Winter season. But my dad do not allow us to get snacks from outside shops so my mom prepares all our favorite snacks at home. But there are some recipes which cannot make it perfectly and one such recipe is, Masal Vadai. Somehow she doesn't get a perfect crispy and tasty masala vada. Also she is not much fond of this vada so she doesn't make it often, I learned the recipe from my Grandmom with all the trick and tips.
