Parippu vada aka chana dal vada is a super crunchy, flavorful and healthy Indian snack that’ll take your taste buds on a ride.
I used ginger garlic paste to add some flavor to the chana dal vadas, but you can also experiment with the flavors and use only ginger paste or garlic paste.
Remember to add the vadas into the oil only when the oil is hot enough. If you add them in too early, they might end up soaking a lot of oil.
If you’re looking for a healthier way to make these vadas, you can choose to cook them in the Air Fryer instead of deep frying them.
