Urad dal vada recipe - Udada dali vade recipe

spilt black gram vada
Urad dal vada recipe - Urad dal vada or vade is a speciality from South India, made with split black grams. To prepare this vada, the soaked split black gram is ground to paste without adding much water to make a smooth and thick paste, then the other ingredients are added and deep fried to crisp. Usually this vada is served with coconut chutney and sambar.

This is one of my favorite South Indian Snacks. While travelling to my home town, I taste urad dal vada in Belgaum where few good South Indian restaurants serve this fabulous snack. Comparatively, those vadas are large in size.

I make small sized vadas just to save the oil wastage. I don't reuse the deep fried oil, so always use little oil by frying 2 -3 small vadas at a time. For giving beautiful round shape to the vada, you can use vada making mould which is available in the utensils shop.
