I’m not sure if many of you have heard of sweet flavored ‘vada or garelu Sometimes, during festivals or special occasions, when garelu are prepared, if there is any left over urad dal batter or garelu batter, sweet flavored vadas are prepared and usually served as a sweet item I can eat them at any time of the day.
No onions or green chillis go into this vada batter - just whole urad dal soaked in water, drained, ground to a fine paste with salt, beaten till fluffy and white, shaped into vadas, deep-fried till crisp and golden brown and dropped immediately in warm Sugar syrup till they absorb the syrup.
And at the end we can get fiuffy and sweet garelu (vada)
