Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal (Split Black Gram)Vada

Uzhunnu Vada is a popular snack or breakfast of South Indians.Though not very famous in the Malabar part,but when ever by chance we happen to be at a restaurant in the mornings there is always this vada.We have both folks who love these Vadas,and the other who just won't even touch these.In my family there is again a division between Vada with Chutney or Sambar and the Thayir vada-Vadas dunk in a yoghurt based dip.
