Dal Vada is all about balance between grind size, moisture, and heat. This recipe shows how soaked chana dal turns into crisp fritters when blended coarsely and fried at the right temperature. Onion and curry leaves add texture and aroma, while controlled frying ensures a crunchy shell with a soft, grainy centre.
