Dal Fritters, also known as "Dal Vada" in South Asian cuisine, are savory, protein-packed snacks made from split lentils like chana dal or urad dal, soaked and ground into a thick batter. This popular dish originates from India and is often flavored with spices such as cumin, coriander, green chilies, and fresh herbs like curry leaves and cilantro. Dal Fritters are light, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, typically deep-fried until golden brown. While they are a rich source of plant-based protein and fiber, which support digestion and satiety, their deep-frying process increases calorie and fat content, making them best enjoyed in moderation. Pairing them with chutney or yogurt can enhance their nutritional profile. Dal Fritters are a delightful treat that can be a flavorful appetizer but are most healthful when baked or air-fried as an alternative to traditional preparation methods.
