Perfect Dahi Vada: Tips for Softness and Flavor

Dahi Vada is a popular Indian snack with soft, yogurt-soaked lentil fritters.

To make the best ones, grind lentils into a smooth paste and whisk it to add air, making the vadas fluffy.

Use high-quality lentils, and soak them long enough.

Fry the vadas in medium-hot oil.

After frying, soak them in warm water to keep them soft and then squeeze out the excess water.

Finally, serve with chilled yogurt and toppings for the best experience.
