Dahi Vada

Dahi Vada is an Indian fast food, or chaat, prepared by soaking Vadas in thick yoghurt.

The hot deep fried vadas are first put in water and then transferred to thick beaten yogurt. For best results the vadas have to soak for at least a couple of hours before serving. To add more flavor it can be topped with mint leaves, crushed pepper, curry powder, chaat masala, shredded coconuts, green chilli or boondi.

Sambhar vadas and Rasam vadas are also popular snacks in South India.
