Kalmi Vada Recipe | Rajasthani Kalmi Vada Recipe | How to make Kalmi Vada recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Kalmi vada is deep fried fritters from Rajasthan. Perfect for evening snacks with cup of hot Tea/Coffee. It is prepared with coarsely blended chana dal and spices. It is very similar to south Indian masala vada with slight difference in spices used. We add crushed coriander seeds which gives different flavor to these vada.
I saw many recipes where they just prepare the batter and fry the vada once. There are few recipes which said they always fry these vada twice. I followed the recipe of tarladalal and adjusted according to my taste and fried them twice. Always grind chana dal coarsely so we will have crunchy texture. It was hit with my kids and got over so soon. Serve them with green chutney.
