Keerai Vadai is one of the most popular South Indian evening snacks, enjoyed with a hot cup of filter coffee. It is a crispy dal vada, perked up with chopped amaranth leaves.

Along with onions and usual taste enhancers like ginger, coriander and curry leaves, this recipe also includes fennel seeds, which is very important to get the classic, characteristic taste of these vadas.

The Keera Vadai is best had with coconut chutney because the mellow, creamy taste of the chutney complements the spicy and crispy vada beautifully. Serve it hot and fresh after draining the oil.

You can also try other recipes like Chawli Masoor Dal or Spicy Chawli Leaves and Spinach Stuffed Parathas .
