The famous south Indian snack becomes unrecognisable in its new tava-cooked avatar! We have modified the traditional, deep-fried Masala Vadai recipe by adding iron and folic acid rich dill leaves, and tava-cooking the vadais. This delicious snack, made with chana dal is suitable for weight watchers and diabetics too, as it has a low glycemic index. Enjoy it with hot tea, and healthy green chutney for extra pep.

I love having deep-fried Masala Vadai…..but I tried making this low cal snack recipe and added dill leaves…it really gave that freshness to the vadai…along with some iron which helps to build up hemoglobin levels…
