Dahi Vada / Lentils dumplings in yogurt

Dahi Wada or lentils dumplings in yogurt  is a famous dish of india. It is widely savoured in all the parts of India and is a rich dish. The taste is unique in itself. I make it on festivals, gatherings or any family get-togethers. This dish gives a rich addition to the menu. Here, I am sharing the recipe with pictures..
