Its winter and time for hot and crispy snacks. Soyikura or Sabakshi soppu as the leafy vegetable is called in telugu and kannada respectively is high in nutrients. It is called Dill in English and is commonly available is most of the stores world over. We love the Soyyi kura vadas, not just because they are crispy and yummy but also for the distinct aroma that fills the kitchen when they are made.
