This Vada is prepared specially on Kali Chaudas (A day before Diwali).

It is also called Kakraat na vada or Chhum vada. Many Gujarati families still perform the ritual called ‘kakraat kadhvu(removing domestic rifts)’ by putting vadas and other stuff at crossroads for vehicles to crush them.

Moreover to the rituals, this vada is known for its unique taste. It is healthy too.

There are many ways to prepare this vada, some use only rice and lentils and some people use Bajri flour, cornflour and sooji. But today I prepared with a combination of both to make it more nutritious.

    Hi Dhwani,

    The recipe you shared is quite different using multi grain flour. I sure need to give it a try. The Kakraat na Vadas which we prepare is from fermented rice+chana dal flour.

      Hi Dolly…
      You are right Dolly. Authentic way of making vada is with rice and chana dal flour. But I thought lets follow rituals in healthy way. So I used multi grain flour. Believe Me, it tastes so good and crispy too.
      Thanks.
