Parippuvada, a beloved snack from South Indian cuisine, originates primarily from Kerala, known for its flavorful and traditional dishes. These crispy fritters are made from split Bengal gram (chana dal), blended with spices like chili, ginger, curry leaves, and occasionally onions for added zest. The lentils are soaked, coarsely ground, and seasoned to form patties that are deep-fried until golden. Rich in protein and dietary fiber from the lentils, Parippuvada can be a satiating treat. However, its deep-fried preparation contributes to high calorie and fat content, making it a less ideal choice for those monitoring their fat intake. Despite its indulgent nature, the snack contains essential nutrients, including iron and folate from the lentils. Pairing it responsibly and consuming in moderation can help balance its nutritional value while enjoying its crunchy, savory appeal.
