Dahi Vada Recipe

Recipe of Dahi Vada

If you are from India then you will be surprised to know how people call this dahi vada differently like dahi wada, dahi bada, dahi bara, dahi bare, dahi vade etc. No matter what you call it but it is the same, no difference in the recipe with the different naming conventions. It is also very popular in Odisa and we love to eat it with aloo dum(potato curry). When I made it first time at home it was not as good as you see in restaurants. I had several issues as I found my vada little hard, dahi wasn’t that tasty as it was expected to be so I kept on looking for answers in internet and asked my friends to help me out. I cooked it several times to make it perfect. Now I am good at it as others seems to appreciate so you can follow my steps to cook it at home.
