Happy Monday everyone! ♥ I hope you all had a beautiful week. Today’s recipe is ‘Aloo Vada ‘. It is a very popular vegetarian Indian fast food. In Rajasthan it is called as aloo vada, but it is also popular with its other name batata wada. It is basically mashed potatoes fritters/dumplings, which is covered in gram flour batter. In this recipe there is no need to temper the mashed potatoes. Try this hearty snack at home and enjoy with your family as tea time snack/appetizer. It can be served with green chutney (mint and coriander chutney) or ketchup.
