SOUTH INDIAN DAHI VADA

SOUTH INDIAN DAHI VADA [ vedio is at the bottom ]

When we go to Sagar Ratna we first order its dahi vada which is very soft and yummy . This dahi vada can be easily made at home . It does not need any sweet chutney because we sweeten the dahi . It does not take much time too . I always make it on occasions and when some guest is coming for lunch or dinner.
