Dahi wada

Dear Readers,

My new experiment in kitchen was of dahi wada. This recipe is very poupular in northern india and comes under the category of chaat. It can be served as starter . Dahi wada is available in most of the indian restaurants and also cooked at home. The recipe is simple but the taste is chatpatta ( very delicious). I tried this often at home as starter as well as for dinner.
