Ulli Vada Recipe
I have been longing to make this vada. This is my favourite from my childhood. This vada reminds me my childhood memories from the deep of my heart. I have no experience of eating this in front of that shop..But my uncle will buy this for us quite often, whenever he visits our house.
One day I was thinking about this and thought why not share the recipe with you..So here you go to the step by step recipe with pictures.

Ulli Vada Recipe with Step by Step Pictures. Spicy and hot crispy ulli vada recipe or onion vada perfect with a cup of chai or coffee. Perfect evening snack made with onions, spices, chillies.
In our place there is a small tea shop, but it is a quite famous one. Around 4’O clock in the evening peoples (mostly mens) gather in front of this shop and enjoy their cup of tea along with this deep fried delicacy. The supplier wrap this in a old newspaper right from the oil..That newspaper will absorb all the excess oil when they are ready to eat. It is hot, crispy and delicious. The interior of this vada is soft and fluffy..Can you imagine the fried onions and chilles aroma just wafting from this.
Check out these two popular vada recipes.
