Lentil Fritters 'Masala Vada' (V)

Masala Vada is a delicious snack made of coarsely ground split chickpeas, onions, spices (fennel, dry red chillies) and salt. It's a quintessential South Indian tea time snack.

My Amma makes the most delicious Masala Vada's and I have fond memories enjoying them with her over a hot cup of masala chai. Masala Vada with piping hot chai is a must on a rainy day!

• Hi I'm Hema,

  I love to explore vegetarian and vegan recipes from various cuisines. Apart from Indian which is what I cook on a regular basis, my favourites are Moroccan and Turkish as they are similar to Indian cuisine with the addition of various spices. Although I like to follow the traditional recipes as it’s been passed down to me, I like to add my own twist to certain dishes. I love to experiment with new ingredients such as farro, teff, buckwheat etc. There have been many a times where I have bought an ingredient and then looked for ways to cook it.
