When I think of " Vadai", this type of vadai only comes to my mind. I am talking about "Masal Vadai". I am really fond of this vadai and when we were in Chennai, hubby used to get it from a "paati" who used to make it roadside near the house. Every weekend, he would go get a parcel and come. Still I remember the taste of those vadas- Spicy, tasty and crunchy. Miss that paati's vadais .
Now I have started making my own vadais , though I get compliment from Hubby still he prefers Urad dhal fritters more. But I shy away from making them because i never get that perfect dough nut shape. That is another story. For any festival or just for a snack, this spicy lentil fritters are really great, just warms up your mood.
