Paruppu Vadai, also known as lentil fritters, is a beloved snack from South Indian cuisine. Made primarily from chana dal (split chickpeas) and spices such as dried chilies, cumin, and curry leaves, these crispy treats boast bold flavors and a satisfying texture. Traditionally deep-fried, Paruppu Vadai is a rich source of plant-based protein and fiber, aiding in satiety and digestive health. However, the frying process can add significant quantities of fat, making portion control key for a balanced diet. Fresh onion and herbs enhance its nutritional profile by providing antioxidants and phytonutrients. While it is often enjoyed as a tea-time snack or festive delicacy, baking or air-frying can offer a lighter alternative without compromising its irresistible taste. Perfectly blending nutrition and indulgence, Paruppu Vadai remains a cherished staple in South Indian households.
