Kaara Vada~ A Guest Post for Dhyuthi's Melange



Kaara Vada

Today I am very excited and happy to be a guest at Dhyuthi's Melange. I am fortunate to find this sweet friend through this virtual blogging world. Our friendship started two years back,but when we write to each other its just like two old friends. We talk  about everything..food,blogging,nostalgic memories of childhood,our family,hobbies,etc.,etc., :)
Dhyuthi's blog is a space that I visit every time and each time I see a new post here, I will have something to relate to. In this space I often comment 'this post makes me nostalgic', 'my grandmother used to make this'.. ... I know this may sound  cliche. But  Dhyuthi understands me better than any of my blogger friends.Many of the post here rekindles those found memories of  the readers, the flavors and taste of good home food. I adore Dhyuthi's passion for cooking and blogging. So when Dhyuthis asked me to do a guest post I did not wish to lose such a wonderful opportunity. Dhyuthi wanted kaara vada,a Trivandrum special snack.It is my favorite too, so today's post is Kaara vada,a spicy and yummy vada


For the recipe pls hop over to Dhyuthi's space click here

Love
Suja
