Dal Vada (Parippu Vada)

The weather is getting cold day by day in seoul. This weekend my husband and i was very much at home. I don’t like cooking on weekends, i give cooking oppurtunity to my husband on weekends.
But this cold weather made me to cook this simple recipe Chana Dal Vada (Parippu Vada) for the evening snack. I learned this recipe from my Sister. She is a great cook. She cooks mouthwatering dishes.
Chana Dal Vada can be made in different ways. Many add coconut to the Vada, and different kind's of dal.
