MINAPA VDIYALU

Minapa Vadiyalu is a popular South Indian snack made from urad dal (black gram lentils). The lentils are soaked, ground into a thick batter, and then seasoned with green chilies, cumin, mustard seeds, and salt. The mixture is shaped into small rounds or discs and sun-dried for several days, allowing it to harden. Once dried, they are deep-fried to a crispy, golden texture. Minapa Vadiyalu offers a crunchy, savory flavor with a mild spiciness, making it a delightful snack or accompaniment to meals, often enjoyed with rice and dal or as a tea-time treat.
