Masala Vadai | Paruppu Vadai can be made as a starter when we have guests at home and can be made during teatime as a snack. My family loves this and especially my daughter is a big fan of masala vadai.
My mom makes this with only channa dal, but i learnt this version from my relative. Check the recipe of aama vadai, which we make for bogi pandigai and aavani avittam. Also check my no onion no garlic Cabbage vadai and Ulundu vadai too.
