So masala vada translates to a fried snack made with lentils and spices. These are made by coarsely grinding soaked chana dal or bengal gram. Then spices, onions & herbs are added to the dough. This dough is then shaped to small disc or patties & deep fried.
Masala Vada: Kerala's favourite teatime snack (it's called Parippu Vada here) is crunchier than the Medu Vada and is made with tur dal. This vada doesn't really require any accompaniments - one reason why it's stocked (sometimes even in Jars) at tea stalls in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Chana dal, the base ingredient of the Masala Vada, is also full of health benefits. It energises the body and is a great source of protein. Rich in antioxidants, it also keeps the heart healthy. With a very low glycemic index, it's also a great food for diabetics, also lowering insulin resistance.
Vada may be made from legumes, sago or potatoes. Commonly used legumes include pigeon pea, chickpea, black gram and green gram. Vegetables and other ingredients are added to improve taste and nutritive value. For legume-based vadas, the legumes (dal) are soaked with water, and then ground to a batter.
If the oil is not hot enough or if the urad dal is over soaked, vada can absorb lot of oil. Also if the lentils are ground too long in a wet grinder, the batter can become feather light and vadas can soak up a lot of oil. So ensure you don't oversoak the lentils, grind them just until light and fry the vada in hot oil.
