Mixed Dhal Masala Vadai


As the weather is getting colder,especially in the evening time in the weekends we craving  for some spicy or hot snack to munch.When I was thinking to make something for evening snack along with tea,I remembered the mixed dhal vadai,noted sometime back from a T.V cookery show.
This vadai is entirely different from Thavala Vadai which I going to share soon.The original recipe calls for fresh corn along with the dhals.As I ran out of corn,didn't add it,lets move onto the recipe...........................

Serve it with ketchup along with tea.



Enjoy.........................................................


  • Grind the fresh corn also along with the dhal if you are using.
  • In original recipe the green chillies are finely chopped and added but I wanted to grind it as kids can enjoy.
  • Grated carrot can also be added along with the chopped onion.
  • Don't grind the dhals to a fine paste,otherwise the vadais won't be crispy.

This recipe is off to  Cook Book Challenge # 5 Febuary week 2 and Let's Brunch on Sundays event.
