About Urad vada

Urad Vada, a savory and crispy deep-fried snack, is a popular dish in South Indian cuisine. Made primarily from split black gram lentils (urad dal), the batter is seasoned with spices like black pepper, cumin, curry leaves, and chilies. Shaped into doughnut-like rings, the vadas are fried until golden brown. High in protein and dietary fiber due to the lentils, they're a satisfying and energizing option, often served with chutneys or sambar. While urad dal contributes essential nutrients, the frying process adds significant fat and calories, making moderation key for those watching their intake.
