Uzhunnu Vada

Uzhunnu Vada – Crispy, Savory Lentil Fritters

Experience the irresistible crunch and savory flavor of Uzhunnu Vada, a popular snack from Kerala that’s loved for its crispy outer layer and soft, fluffy inside. Made from soaked black gram (urad dal) and a blend of aromatic spices, these deep-fried fritters are a beloved breakfast or tea-time treat in Kerala.

The key to the perfect Uzhunnu Vada is the smooth, fluffy texture of the batter, which is flavored with ingredients like ginger, green chilies, onions, and curry leaves. Once deep-fried, the fritters turn golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and airy on the inside, offering the perfect bite. They are often enjoyed with coconut chutney, sambar, or even a cup of hot tea.
