About Paruppu vada
Paruppu Vada, also known as Dal Vada, is a popular South Indian snack made from ground lentils—typically chana dal (split chickpeas) or toor dal (pigeon peas)—mixed with spices and herbs like dried chilies, curry leaves, onions, ginger, and cilantro. Shaped into patties and deep-fried until golden, these crispy fritters are rich in protein from the lentils, offering a nutritious option for energy and satiety. They provide dietary fiber, supporting digestion, and are naturally gluten-free. However, the deep-frying process increases their fat content, making them calorie-dense. While Paruppu Vada can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, baking or air-frying offers a healthier alternative to reduce its oil content. A beloved dish in South Indian cuisine, it pairs perfectly with coconut chutney or hot beverages, embodying the comforting flavors of regional tradition.
