Hello my beautiful people!
In my hometown, Dahi Vada is a very popular dish. When it comes to any festival or special occasion, Dahi Vada is a must have recipe. This is a perfect snack which tastes delicious, fills tummy and beats the heat. And the best part is that it can be prepared in advance so wives and mothers don't need to spend the whole time in the kitchen.
Usually, Dahi Vada is made up of Urad Dal but I don't like Urad Dal much that's why I made my Dahi Vada with little twist. They are very easy to make and at the same time very delicious.
