Kalmi Vada is a delicious snack originating from Rajasthan. This snack has a crispy texture because of the coarsely ground chana dal. These vadas are crispy outside and soft inside. Kalmi vadas are similar to South Indian snack masala vada. These vadas can be made ahead of time and re fried when you are ready to serve. This Rajasthani delicacy is a perfect accomplishment for tea or coffee on a rainy day or cold winters. Simple yet delicious vadas. You can also check out my other Rajasthani snacks which I made couple days ago......
