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..

Hi there, just saw this blog post on your Facebook page and followed you through Google Connect. This is a very interesting recipe. I haven't tried making an Indian cuisine recipe before and I'd love to try and make one. I just need to figure out where I can buy "Chaat Masala"
ReplyDeleteHi Divine Dinner Party,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stepping in and for your comments.. Do try it..If u are not getting " chaat masala", then you can use black salt and roasted cumin powder. It gives almost same taste..Hope it helps..Waiting for your pic of this dish on facebook..:)
