Delicious paruppu vadai / lentil fritters, /dal vadas for teatime or as a neivediyam for festivals .

We do not add any onions , garlic or overpowering masalas if prepared for festivals and as offering for neivediyam .

To prepare a masal vadai as it is known here in Tamil Nadu, add plenty of finely chopped onions, curry leaves, coriander leaves, spinach leaves, or dill leaves , also add some fennel to the coarse batter and prepare the small patties with hand and deep fry I have used some black udad dal also , which you can skip or use the split udad dal .
