Masala Vada is a crispy, spicy tea time snack. This typical Indian
snack is sure to make your tea time a special one with that someone so special.
Though this is drenched in oil to make it crispy, one can take a chance to
pamper oneself in a while. As an alternate means, these can be baked as well to
avoid using oil.
Try making this vada during the
week-end when you and your beloved ones have a free time with no or less
serious work in hand, as these may make you feel full. I
am sure you’ll remember this snack for quite a while.
