Horse gram Dill vada/Kollu Sabagi Vada

Masala vada is everyone’s favorite. This is a very delicious evening tea time snack. Its heaven to have masala vada during winter or rainy season along with tea/coffee. I just love this snack. I have inserted Sprouted horse gram with dill leaves (which increases the flavor). You too will love it when you try it.
