Mixed Veggies Black Urad Dal Medhu Vada

Saturday, February 8, 2014

Today for this weeks blogging marathon, i chosed black urad dal to make this super crispy,healthy medhu vadas as my theme for this week is cooking with colours. Trust me, these black urad dal medhu vada makes a pect evening snack when served along with sambar or coconut chutney. While making this black urad dal medhu vada, i tried adding some finely grated mixed veggies this time to make these crispy beauties much more healthier.

Personally for me, the best way to feed  veggies to picky eaters is to add veggies in their favourite fritters, this way they wont ever notice the addition of veggies.I used grated carrot,zucchini,potatoes and broccolis for making medhu vadas, you can very well add any sort of veggies for making this medhu vadas. The addition of these veggies turned out this medhu vadas very delicious and healthy at the same time.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing this 29th edition.Sending to Vijis SYS-WS - Apple & Carrot, Rafeedas Mission Explore Foods: Lentils event by Sheelu and Pallavi and to my own event CWS-Urad Dal guest hosted by Sowmya of Nivedhanam and to Vardhinis Dish Out It - Lentils and Vegetables.
