Enjoy your homemade dahi vadas! :)

My Notes :

Soaking the vadas in milk + curd mixture helps to avoid sourness.

Adding onions to the vada is purely your choice. You can skip it in the vadas and add raw onions while serving too.

The amount of green and sweet chutney can be adjusted to our preference. You can make the chaat chutneys ready the previous day and refrigerate to make it handy.

I used the remaining medu vadas so used it , you can make them as round bonda balls too.
