Vada (3)

Crispy golden vada arrives warm from the fryer, its lentil exterior shattering under your teeth to reveal a soft, spiced interior. Each piece is fragrant with cumin and black pepper, traditionally paired with tangy sambar and cooling coconut chutney for dipping. The contrast between the crunchy shell and creamy center makes these a satisfying snack or breakfast staple. Swaruchi Taste of India serves three pieces, perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.
