Ambode/Dal vada are always a evergreen snack which are very appetizing and satisfying.  These are crunchy out side and soft inside snacks, perfect evening coffee or Tea/Chai companion. With the  coming winter in mind, this masala ambode/ masala dal vade is hot and spicy snack for the cold winter evenings. If you prepare the vadas as soon as you prepare the mix, it absorbs less oil, some what I call this snack a guilt free healthy treat. Kids love the vadais with tomato ketch up.
