  4. 2.	How to make the Dahi/Curd: Take thick curd in a bowl. Add sugar, coconut (optional) and cream and beat /mix with a hand Wisk. Remove all lumps .Now, add salt about ½ tsp. Add milk to match required consistency.

  6. 4.	Frying the Vadas: Now, start making vads.Heat oil in a wok/kadai. Take a scoop of batter in your hand, make a hole with your thumb to make a donut like shape .
  7. At a medium high flame, oil should not be cold but not piping hot. Slip in the vadas in the oil carefully and fry them on both sides. Fry till golden in color and take them out.
  8. 5.	Assembling the Vadas: Soak the vadas in hot water for 5 minutes. This time will increase if you have refrigerated the vadas before assembling.
