Horsegram/Kollu Masala Vadai & Some Awards

Vadai with horsegram, dunno whether u have heard about, but i made it out two days back for our evening snacks with our indian variety of horsegram..I got a parcel from my sister a week back from India, with some clothes with some nuts and horsegrams, coz the horsegram i get here are completely different from our indian horsegrams, personally i felt our Indian horsegrams wont turn that much mushy if they are pressure cooked when compared with horsegrams i get here, i was planning to prepare kollu podi or kollu masiyal, but once i soaked them i changed my mind and thought of turning them as delicious, crunchy pakoda or masala vadai, i grounded the soaked horsegram and got a stiff grounded paste which pulled me to try out this masala vadai, i prepared this masala vadai with usual ingredients as we do for our channadal masala vadai..They tastes marvellous.. eventhough this crunchy vadais are deepfried, i felt that there is nothing harm of having this crispy vadais sometimes for our evening snacks...I didnt felt much difference between the channadal vadai and horsegram vadai, but the colour of this vadai is slightly dark brown coz of the horsegram is used for else they were really crunchy and healthy...Am sending this masala vadai to MLLA-15th helping guest hosted by Sia of Monsoon Spice, event by Susan.
