Thanks for all the details, especially the one about why the chanda dal has to be air dried. I learnt something new today.

Hi Indira,
Nice recipes without onion. I am going to make some. As we are Jains, we do not add onion/garlic, I will try this for guests. Thanks a lot.

Hi Indira, Happy Ugadi to you as well. My mother makes these for Ugadi with onions and dill leaves added. The aroma is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for inspiring me to make this today

Hi Indira,

This brings back fab memories from my growing up years in Kenya. We had a lot of Malayalis out there and we used to get together for family functions, birthday parties, christening ceremonies, etc. I remember how this Paruppu Vada was perhaps the only cooked item at these parties – the others being biscuits, cashew nuts, nendram pazham (kerala plantains) and tea. Their vadas would have onions but no garlic.

Yumm..
