Urad dhal Fritters / Medu Vada

 This was our famous snack for each get together in our family . I made this yesterday evening for tea time. I made it into small dumplings , didn’t shape as usual vada , it was more crunchy and easy to make . In our family we make this vada for often . My mom says it is good for young girls for their growth. She makes this crunchy vada for me and my sister.
