I love Vadai along with hot tea especially Paruppu vadai. Madurai is famous for vadai and in every street you can find a tea stall selling different types of vadai. We can taste all types of vadai like keerai vadai, methu vadai, masal vadai. They serve hot vadai along with chutney. My hubby loves beetroot vadai alot.

NOTES

  • Curry leaves can also be used.
