Aval vadai recipe is a super easy vadai recipe, which you can prepare with very minimum ingredients at home. You can make this vadais, when you have sudden guests at home. I made this as a no onion no garlic version. This vadai is made with 2 main ingredients, poha | aval, and curd. Aval vadai stays crisp for a few hours after frying. Usually, we soak urad dal or chana dal for making vadai which needs advanced planning. This is an instant poha vadai similar to the pottukadalai vadai I shared a few months back. This is a perfect teatime snack and a party starter too.
