Peanut Channadal Masal Vadas

Here am starting an another week of blogging marathon, as i told earlier this week is gonna be interesting week with definitely delicious foods. For this week of blogging marathon, i choosed 'pick one and cook all' as theme, after a long discussion and hesitation, finally i choosed this week star ingredient 'Peanuts'. So i'll be post foods prepared with peanuts as main ingredients for this whole week.check out the other marathoners running this 16th edition with me here.

After i finalized the peanuts as the star ingredient for this second week of blogging marathon, the first food i wanted to prepare with it is this super crispy vadas.I prepared them for our yesterday's lunch, i combined both channa dal and peanuts equally together for making this addictive deep fried beauties. The addition of peanuts gives a fabulous taste to this vadas and goes awesome as side dish for spicy tamarind based gravies, everyone at home simply loved it.Sending to Amina's Guest Quest.
