Thuvara Parippu vada (Split Pigeon Peas/ Toor Daal Fritters) is a crispy, crunchy and spicy tea time snack from Kerala, India. This tasty delicacy also a wonderful hunger relief snack in Kerala’s school, college, office, hospital canteens like Pazham Pori / Vaazhakaappam (Kerala Banana Fritters) 
. Crispy Parippu Vada, Nalla pazhutha pazham ( Ripe banana) or hot tea is a point of weakness for a typical malayalee like me 
.Hmm.. Thinking about it gives me lots of nostalgia 
so I try to express some of my feelings here in malyalam (my mother tongue) . Try this simple recipe, experience the typical Kerala taste and enjoy

Tips and Notes:
You can use same quantity of Chana Daal (kadala Parippu) instead of toor daal (thuvara parippu) for this recipe.
Make and shape small flat daal fritter shapes, it helps to cook its inner portion properly.
Do not keep daal fritter shapes too long. It will be produce water.
