Vazhaipoo Vadai

Here comes the crispiest and yummiest vadai. Vazhaipoo is very healthy veggie.  We can make a variety of dishes using this veggie, from soups to curries.  In this list, i gave a thought to do this vadai.  Though, we usually use all dals in equal proportions to make vadai, to get the crispiest vada i added only channa dal to this. Here it comes!!!
