Dahi Wada


              Dahi Wada is a popular,tasty and light dish.Even it can be used as a snack in evening breakfast or during lunch or dinner.I have used this dish on festivals like Holi,Diwali etc.Our guests,who come after having heavy sweets and other such edibles, welcome it most.

 Ingredients:

  For Badas

Apply a little water on palm. Take a small portion of batter and pat lightly with damp fingers to flatten it. Gently put into hot oil. Repeat with remaining batter. - See more at: http://sanjeevkapoor.com/dahi-wada.aspx#sthash.wNLy5ecx.dpuf
