sugar.
Fry jeera and the red chilies without oil and grind it to powder, add this to the beaten curd
with very little water.
Now fry the vadas in oil, and as soon as you take it out put the vadas in warm water for
5-10 second, after that take the vadas out and squeeze any excess water with hand and put
it in the curd.
Finally, you can garnish your dahi vada with coriander leaves.
If you like you can add mustard, jeera, curry leaves and asafetida seasoning to this.
