What is a baday?

A "baday" is a type of traditional Indian fast food, specifically a deep-fried lentil doughnut, commonly known as "vada" in many regions. It is made from a spiced lentil batter, often flavored with herbs, and is typically served with chutneys or sambar. Baday is popular as a snack or breakfast item, particularly in South Indian cuisine. Its crispy exterior and soft interior make it a beloved choice among street food enthusiasts.
