Chick peas r also know as garbanzo beans, kondakadalai,Chana..they r highly rich in proteins..they r low in fat, usually we used to make masala, gravy..am bored of all those, i tried it as masala vadai with a cup of mixed vegetables, they turned awesome n more crispy n also healthy coz of vegetables i have added to prepare them as vadais, perfect snacks r side dish for any sort of rice dishes..

2nos Green chillies
1tsp Ginger chopped
1tsp Fennel seed

Soak dry chick peas overnite r for 6hours...drain the water n grind themwith cloves n fennel seeds, without water in a mixie jar, dont add water,if the batter is watery u wont get the crispyness..grind them bit coarsely..meanwhile chop finely shallots r green onions(i used green onions) green chillies..take off the vada batter from the mixie, add the chopped onions, chopped green chillies,grated vegetables(i used carrots, cabbage n green bell pepper), chopped ginger, curry leaves n coriander leaves with salt..
