Lentils and mixed beans is a nutritious and flavorful combination. Perfect for fritters.

That is a super power packed vada, Priya. I am tempted to grab a few off the screen :)
What an awesome way to finish off those left over variety beans. With all the lentils and beans, this is one protein packed vada for sure. They look so delicious.
