March 9, 2015 Keerai/Spinach, Navaratri Special, Pillayar Chathurthi Recipes, Pongal Recipes, Snacks / Starters, Tamil New Year Recipes
-
Vadai is a popular South Indian snack. This Keerai Vadai is a perfect tea time snack. Its crispy outside and soft inside. Usually in the local tea shops they make it as masal vadai/paruppu vadai (with chana dal). I prefer it with urad dal as Chotu likes the Medhu Vadai best!! So I am more than happy to make this as I can add some spinach leaves to it Its the best snack to have on a cold/rainy day over a cup of coffee or tea.
