Perugu Vada ~ Dahi Vada


Dahi Vada, Dahi Bhalla, Thayir Vadai, Perugu Vada, Mosaru Vade, Dahi Bora….as called in different languages / regions in India….are soft, fluffy deep fried lentil dumplings soaked in a thick, creamy spiced yogurt, a favorite for almost all Indians. There are plenty of variations as you go by different regions. South Indians prefer their vadas soaked in spiced yogurt where as people from North like them with plain yogurt topped with green/tamarind chutney. Sweetened curd is used in some places like Maharashtra and Gujarat.
