This Indian savoury snack called Vada also known as Bhajia, Pakora, Lentil Fritters or in South Africa it might also be called a Chilli Bite is a South Indian fritter usually made with ground chickpeas or whole moong which has been soaked overnight.

low carb vada recipe

It is generally made into a doughnut shape and it has a crispy exterior and soft interior. It is a very popular street food from the Indian subcontinent, but is eaten in different ways across states and generally eaten for breakfast or as a snack. In this recipe, I have used almond and coconut flour to turn this into an easy but delicious, but guilt-free low carb snack. So delicious when served with a low carb chilli sauce or an apple and green pepper sauce.
