Onion Vada

 Onion vada is one of the most popular snacks from the South India.It is made from urad dhal and a few spices. They are deep fried and served hot with idly and sambar for breakfast. It's exquisite flavor and deep aroma will certainly tickle your taste buds. I love these vada's for their crisp texture and divine taste.

The Rajs' Kitchen Tip:

Do not add too much water while grinding the urad dhal. Just keep sprinkling water The thicker and fluffier the batter, the vadas will turn out crip and less oily. The trick is in grinding the batter. In case your vadas don't turn out crispy, add a tsp of rice flour and try out.
