Avarebele Masala Vada is a crispy deep-fried Indian snack made with avarekalu or Hyacinth Beans. They are crispy outside and soft inside. The main ingredient is avarebele or surti papdi and we don’t need any other flour or anything to bind the batter. I have used ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, coriander leaves, and onion to make them delicious. They are super crispy outside without rice flour. You can also add some curry leaves if you would like to.
