A common snack that can be enjoyed with any chutney or with tomato ketchup is vadai. For a more spicy version, try adding two pinches of red chilli powder or one teaspoon of black pepper and cumin (coarsely powdered) to the dough before frying.

What is the secret for a getting a crispy vada?
I am not getting crispy (channa dal vada) vadas. May I know how to get it crispy.
Hi Jayanthi,
To get crispy vada, you have to grind without adding any water. Soak the dhal and drain the water completely. You can even spread the soaked channa dhal in a tissue paper or on a clean cloth for few minutes so that excess water will be absorbed. Then put it in a mixie and grind coarsely using whipping mode. You can also add a teaspoon of rice flour and make the vadai. You will get crispy vada. If you add more onion, outside of the vada is crispy but inside it will be softer.
