Popularity: This vadai is usually called as Aama vadai by the iyers and iyengars because of the resemblance of the outer appearance of the vadai which is as thick and resembles the shell of the tortoise!! Since this vadai is made of paruppu, it is also referred to as Paruppu Vadai / Muparuppu Vadai (meaning that all three types of dal are used for this). Also referred to as Masal Vadai.
