Food eaten during Navratris usually involves fried puris,parathas and pakoras. And while I love all of them, the sensible side of me wants to eat healthy and tasty. This was an experiment I tried and it was a smashing success!

The vrat vadas turned out so good, they tasted great as is, with just Green chatni. Of course, I had set out to make dahi vadas, so I dunked them in whipped yogurt and sprinkled some Lal mirch/red chili powder and bhoona jeera/roasted ground cumin on them .

As the dahi/yogurt soaked into the vadas, they became absolutely melt in the mouth delicious and soft!

Moving on to the recipe,here is the written recipe followed by the step by step pictorial one-
