WHITE PEAS VADA/FRITTERS/SNACKS

Hi friends, today I posting simple but yummy crispy fritters for the tea time snack and in this winter season... Enjoy making and have it hot crisp....

Little About Vadai
Vadai can vary in shape and size, but are usually either doughnut or disc-shaped and are about between 5 and 8 cm across. They are made from dal, lentil, gram flour or potato. Vadai is a traditional South Indian food know from ancient times. Although they are commonly prepared at home, vadas are as well a typical street food in the Indian Subcontinent and Sri Lanka. They are usually a morning food but in street stalls and in railway stations as a snack all day.

The white peas (Vellai Patani) are in my refrigeration for long time. Actually I stored this for misal pav but couldn't do it at times so I opened the pack for making kurma for chapathi/Rice and soaked it for overnight. After making kurma I have excess peas so I plan to do some snacks with it and now I came with this yummy crispy bites of vada...
