Urad dhal vada or fritters is a popular south indian snack. It isa healthy vada except deep frying. Usually it is served with masala dosa,or taken as a snack itself. When we have this vada as a snack,the best combination is sambar or coconut chutney. With different ingredients we can make this vada. Here i made it with urad dhal,which is highly nutritious with high protein,vitamins, iron and minerals. I like to have it with tomato sauce. The important thing affecting the shape is consistency of the batter.
