Masala vada is the favourite snack which cannot be stopped eating at just two or three.Yes, I usually end up making a little extra batter so that I can pack for my hubby next day also along with lunch to his office.I generally make this on weekend evenings and serve it as a snack, but you can serve with your lunch menu as well when you want an elaborate lunch or you invite friends over. A crispy snack made out of tur and channa dal this vada is simply irresistable. Scroll down for an easy and tasty recipe and try this for your family and do let me know.

Recipe Notes
Notes
- You can add a pod of garlic while grinding the batter.
- You can also add a teaspoon fennel seeds along with the batter.I didn’t add since hubby doesn’t like it.
- Turmeric powder not only gives a nice colour but also good flavour,so don’t miss it.
