Gujarati Dal Vada is a popular dish from Ahmedabad. They are small split green gram lentil fritters deep fried until crispy from outside and soft, spongy, fluffy from inside.
Many of Ahmedabad’s streets are lined with vibrant eateries and interesting stalls, serving up all manner of steaming and sizzling snacks. Gujarati people are pretty much raised as foodies, so one of the most common local leisure activities is spending an evening hopping from one stall to another, snacking on tried and tested favourites and sampling new additions.
Saying that mostly all collegian/students pass their free time at these vada stalls and snacking on those irresistible vadas. If you are passing near by a dal vada stall, the irresistible smell of the frying vada would invariably tempt you to buy them. There is no fanfare in the presentation of these vadas- Simply wrapped in an old newspaper and served with finely sliced onions and fried green chillies and perfectly complemented with a hot cup of chai!
These Gujarati Dal Vada are easy to make at home and requires only a handful of ingredients. This recipe is very healthy as green gram dal is full of proteins. This is one of my family’s favourite recipe! Simple, and irresistibly delicious.
