Wiki "gyan" about vada
Vade, also known as wada or vade(in Sri Lanka) or vadai or bara (pronounced "vah-daa", "vah-dey", "baraa" or "vah-die"), is a savoury fritter-type snack from South India
Vadas can vary in shape and size, but are usually either doughnut- or disc-shaped and are between 5 and 8cm across. They are made from dal, lentil, gram flour or potato.
The Vada is a traditional South Indian food known from antiquity. Although they are commonly prepared at home, Vadas are as well a typical street food in the Indian Subcontinent and Sri Lanka. They are usually a high calorie morning food, typically about 300 Kilocal each, but in street stalls and in railway stations, as well as inside the Indian Railways, they are available as a snack all day. It is known as Vades in South Africa, where a large south Indian population is found .
