Mixed Pulses Vadai

TRIED AND TASTED FROM DIL SE.....

This recipe is tried and tasted from Dil Se . Divya has a very good collection of mouthwatering and healthy recipes. When i was going through her recipes it was quite hard for me to choose, all recipes were unique, finally i went for this nutritious mixed pulses vadai. I was amazed to see her creation of this vadai recipe with all mixed lentils.
This is one among her must try recipes. The different mix of pulses make this vadai much more healthier than the normal vadai.
To give it a natural twist they are presented in reused, eco-friendly, economic regular Indian kiosks' packaging :-).

Lentils are rich source of protein and iron so it plays  a very important  role in vegetarian diet. To read more about lentils click here.
