These are crispy Dal vada from the street of Bangaluru ,my second home 🙂
This Dal vada is a popular street-snack from south-India. Those were my favorite evening snack with a cup of chai at Office .I don’t like Maida stuff much ,so these kind of lentil based fried items satisfy me more.
The weather is changing and there is a pleasant chill in the air . I found many South-Indian ladies who prepare this Dal vada on a festive day. Unlike Odissa where only sweet pithas are prepared on festivals .Have you checked those Pithas reipes.. Rice Dumplings
My sister has written this beautiful lines
” Happiness is in the air,
It’s Deepavali everywhere.
An occasion to celebrate Life,
Let’s show some love and Light.”
Yeah, the festival of light is near around..Everyone is busy in festive preparation.While the childrens are focused on buying different varieties of crackers ,women in the house making savory snacks and varieties of dry sweets. Gujiya is one of such popular Diwali sweet which is prepared with different fillings.Not to miss ,you can always make this crispy dal vadas for the evening snack on Diwali.Your family will love it for sure.
