urad dal wada | uddina wade | wada recipe | uddina vade| south indian recipes |
Urad dal wada are tasty and loved by all. It is usually served along with idli in restaurants. It is one of the essentials of South Indian breakfast.
Urad dal is soaked and then made into a thick batter, seasoned with spices and then deep fried in oil. Shaped like doughnuts, these have always been my favourite. With or without chutney, I love these fried dumplings. Today, a sneak and peek at this one.
This is vegan and gluten free snack, ideal for breakfast along with idly or as an accompaniment with any meal. It is tasty and one cannot resist having a couple of them. It is usually served with coconut chutney but one can dunk them in sambar or thick curd, it tastes awesome.

And this post is part of the new group that I have joined Foodies_Redoing Old Posts started by Renu. The purpose is to give a new face to the old posts that we had written long back.
