Wada, also known as Vada, is a popular South Indian snack made primarily from urad dal (black gram lentils) or sometimes a blend of lentils. Shaped into small, savory doughnuts, Wadas are seasoned with spices like cumin, black pepper, curry leaves, and green chilies, then deep-fried to a golden crisp. Traditionally served with coconut chutney and sambar, they are a staple in South Indian cuisine and widely enjoyed across India. Rich in protein and dietary fiber, Wadas contribute to satiety and provide essential nutrients. However, the deep-frying process adds a significant amount of fat and calories, making them less ideal for individuals watching their fat intake. To enjoy a healthier version, baking or air-frying can be considered as alternatives. Whether as a breakfast item or an evening snack, Wadas balance indulgence with a burst of authentic flavor.
