Alasanda / Lobia Vada

Padmapriya Anand
Padmapriya Anand @Ppz_Cuisine
Hyderabad, India

Cowbeans are called alasandalu in Telugu, Vella Payar in tamil, Lobia in Hindi. They are a great health food as they are low in calories and high in proteins and fiber. They are said to be very good in maintaining heart health too. This is a street food from Andhra Pradesh and also made specially for the Sankranti festival. They are very crispy and awesome for evening snacks. These vadas can be shallow fried or they can be baked too. I preferred deep frying them today, as I was running late for an errand.
