When the cold hits.. Tamizh Falafel to the rescue!
We feared the plague and were felled by the common cold! Such was our state last week when after a whole year of bubble life. When Finally, the weekend arrived and the house seemed to be breathing much more normally, the first thing I wanted to do was declutter and then COOK! :)
What I grew up and know as masala vadai, is not very different from the middle eastern falafel. Often not even shaped differently and with a ton of oomph from garlic, the herbs and choice of lentil may vary but the result and satisfaction are remarkably similar! Which is why I call these Split Pea Vadais, Tamizh Falafel.
