Dal Vada, also known as Paruppu Vadai, is a popular South Indian snack made using soaked chana dal, ground coarsely with ginger, green chilies, and spices. The mixture is shaped into small discs and deep-fried to golden perfection, giving it a crispy exterior and soft center. This snack pairs beautifully with coconut chutney or a hot cup of tea. It's an easy and flavorful dish enjoyed across India.
