About Aval vada

Aval Vada is a savory snack rooted in South Indian cuisine, made from flattened rice (aval) as its key ingredient. The dish typically combines soaked aval with mashed potatoes, green chilies, ginger, and aromatic spices like cumin and curry leaves. Shaped into small patties, these are deep-fried until golden brown, offering a crispy exterior and tender inside. Aval Vadas are often gluten-free, due to the absence of wheat-based flours, and they provide quick energy from the carbohydrate content of the flattened rice. They also contain potassium and fiber from the potatoes, alongside antioxidant-rich spices. However, being deep-fried makes Aval Vada high in fat and calories, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. This delectable treat is most commonly enjoyed as an evening snack or appetizer, paired with chutneys or hot chai.
