A plate of simple single dahi Vada fills stomach!
Its so tasty ,colourfull and yet more it fills mind and stomach with full of satisfaction.
I had prepared today Rava idli morning for breakfast,it was quick easy and delightfull through MTR rava IDli MIX!
As a combination to it we ordered 2 plates of our usual vada from the hotel with chutni and sambar.The same old complaint of power ..no power since 2 days.And as a result the chutni and sambar for vada was not so tasty.When 2 vada's were left my hubby suggested to make dahi vada for afternoon and henceforth i kept dipping the 2 left over vada's in curd and went to work.
When i returned home after 3 hours,the vada was completly soft and had absorbed curd.

6.coriander leaves-finely chopped
7.For seasonning-oil,mustard1 tsp, urad dal 1 tsp,bengal gram 1 tsp,curry leaves 8 to 10.
8.Green chillies-2 finely cut
procedure i followed-
1.Kept vada in dahi for 3 hrs.
2.added sugar and salt to the dahi.
3.Added finely chopped coriander leaves and fried green chillies.
4.seasonning done with above mentioned ingredients.
5.sprinkled the fried groud nuts !
It was so tasty to eat that i was hardly able to have my lunch after having this !
