Vengaya Vadai

This is the vadai, which my mom prepares to have along with Palaya Sadham. When ever its palaya sadham at our home she used to serve it along with this vengaya vadai and pasi payaru sundal. Best combo ever!! Even i used to follow the same combo now.

We call this vadai as kara vadai in our native. I have already posted one Kara Vadai recipe which is prepared with rice, lentils and spices batter.

This one is an instant version of Kara Vadai which is prepared with Besan flour. You can prepare this vadai in less than 20 minutes. The tasty recipe follows!!

Yields : 10 to 12 vadais
