About Parupu vada
Parupu Vada, a beloved South Indian snack, is a crispy lentil fritter made primarily from chana dal (split chickpeas) or toor dal (split pigeon peas). Seasoned with a mix of aromatic spices like cumin, fennel seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies, it delivers an irresistible blend of flavor and crunch. Rich in protein and dietary fiber due to the lentils, Parupu Vada can support muscle health and digestion, making it a nutritious option in moderation. However, as it is typically deep-fried, it is higher in fat and calories, which may not suit those on low-fat diets. Often served as a tea-time treat or festive appetizer, its golden-brown exterior and satisfying taste make it a popular comfort food across South Indian households. For a healthier twist, it can be air-fried or shallow-fried to reduce oil content.
