Amritsari Wadi, also called Wadiyan, are mildly spiced, deliciously flavored, sun dried dumplings made from lentils or pulses. In this recipe (Amritsari Wadi & Peas Pulao) I have used Urad Dal Wadis. The Wadis are slightly fried before adding to the rice giving them a very earthy flavor. Give it a try!
