A perfect accompaniment for tea on a cold winter’s day, this Rajasthani delicacy is also surprisingly very easy to prepare.

Made with a coarsely blended batter of chana dal, perked up with green chillies, onions, dhania seeds, etc., Kalmi Vada has a wonderfully crunchy texture and stimulating flavour, which make it a challenge to stop with one serving!

In order to achieve that ideal texture, you need to make sure the chana dal is ground coarsely and not too finely.

Khamiri Green Peas Puris , Pyaaz ki Kachori and Kanji Vadas are a few other Rajasthani snacks you are sure to relish.

A perfect snack or a starter recipe made out of chana dal and spices. I serve these immediately once fried with green chutney on a cold winter day or during monsoon..

Its so simple.. I was looking for a snack recipe and came across this recipe.. Just loved it.. The saunf and coriander seeds add a distinctive taste to the vadas.. They are a bit spicy and tastes super with green chutney..!

Kalmi vadas are deep fried gram dal crispies that can be enjoyed with a fiery green chutney. Taste great and goes well for an evening snack.
