About
“Dahi Vada is a veg South Indian snack. It is Deep Fried and served as a soft, flavorful appetizer or snack. Dahi Vada consists of lentil dumplings made from white urad dal that are soaked, shaped, and deep-fried until golden. These dumplings are then soaked in water, drained, and generously coated with creamy yogurt. The dish is finished with classic Indian chutneys—such as tamarind and mint—or a sprinkle of spices for a delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors. This dish is soft, creamy, and melts in the mouth, making it a favorite across India. Serving Size: 6 pieces (serves 3–4 people) Calories: 264 calories Spice Level: Mild Preparation Notes: Requires a little overnight soaking of white urad dal. No other special preparation is needed; ideal for festive occasions or casual snacking.”
