HEALTHY PROTEIN VADA

Vada itself is a delicious food which can be made in many varieties i.e; instant vadas and also the normal vadai which we make with urad dal.Today Imade vadas with all protein rich ingredients by adding some masala,it came out very delicious . hubby also appreciated me..In most of the families we can see people hate to eat beans directly so we have to try different recipes and make them to eat,as proteins are more essential component to the body buildup internally.
