Lobia Alasanda vada | Black eye bean appetizer | Breakfast snack recipe | Flavour Diary

Today's recipe is healthy simple and easy to make. Soaking lobia is the only time taking element in making this easy breakfast/snack. As we are not using any water for blending these lobia's it will not absorb lot of oil while frying.
I usually make these lobia vada for breakfast and serve along with peanut chutney. This is best as party or finger food...tastes delicious even if its cold but it tastes best when hot.Check out the ingredients and steps for easy vada recipe.
