Dahi Vada/Thayir Vadai/Curd Vada
I love this curd vada,south Indian version is prepared by adding seasoning on top and they are very simple but I personally prefer North Indian dahi/curd vada only.They have all spices mixed in them and they are so colorful.I just go crazy for it.Your guest will be super happy if you serve this, its very simple and perfect munch for evening times or can be served as deserts too.
