Dal Vadas You Should Try At least Once

Chana dal vadas, a common South Indian snack, are the ideal match for your evening chai or coffee. To enjoy its flavour, serve it with some ketchup or green chutney. 

Chana dal and cauliflower are used to make this vada. Chana dal provides this vada a layer of crispness, while cauliflower gives it its soft and mushy texture.  

As the name implies, moong chilka dal is used to make this vada. Dal that has been soaked is combined with flavorful masalas, ginger-garlic paste, and some vegetables. 

An easy Bengali-style snack to prepare in under 20 minutes is urad dal vada. This is a simple recipe that goes well with an evening cup of tea and just calls for a few simple ingredients. 

Three types of lentils—urad, chana, and moong—are used to make this vada. You can enjoy it by dipping it in a fiery lehsun ki chutney.
