Kalmi Vadas are crispy, deep-fried lentil fritters, a popular tea-time snack from Rajasthani Cuisine. Made with a coarse batter of soaked chana dal, mixed with chopped onions, spices, and fresh herbs, these fritters are shaped into small logs and fried until golden and crunchy. Kalmi Vadas are a great example of regional recipes that bring out the bold, earthy flavours of Rajasthan. They taste especially good with tamarind chutney and a hot cup of masala chai.
