It takes a little prep work to make the best dahi vada. For the vada I will be using split skinless moong dal that I’ve soaked overnight, as the traditional recipe goes, you can make it with urad dal, or even mixed dal. It totally depends on your taste bud, and you can customize it, as you like. If you like, you can top it with some papri, to add crispiness.

To make your vadas soft and fluffy, dip the deep fried vadas in some normal water for a couple of minutes, but make sure, you take them out on time otherwise they will become soggy. Use light hand pressing to seep out excess water, but be very gentle so that the vadas do not break.
