#Anniversary - This is one great comfort food for me after Curd Rice. This yummy dish is almost similar to Dahi Vada / Bhalla, but minus the chutneys. In this version of mine, a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves and dry red chilli is added to the end product. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Grind the soaked urad dal with very less water. Add salt, peppercorns, cumin seeds and ginger. Mix well and keep aside.
* Step 2
Heat oil in a pan. Dip your hands in a bowl of water. Take a portion of the batter and give a round shape to it. Make a hole in the centre with your thumb.
* Step 3
Gently slide in the vada in hot oil and fry on a medium flame till it is golden and crisp. Immediately drop in a bowl of water and let them soak for a while. Then squeeze out the water by pressing in between your palms. Keep aside.
* Step 4
Grind the coconut and green chilies. Add in the yoghurt, some water to dilute it, salt, coriander leaves (save some for garnishing), grated carrot and chopped chilli. Mix well.
* Step 5
Heat 1 tbsp. oil and temper with mustard seeds and dry red chilli. After it stops spluttering, add the urad dal and curry leaves. Saute for a few seconds and switch off the flame.
* Step 6
Pour this tempering over the spiced yoghurt. Dip the vadas in it and let it soak for some time. Serve, garnished with pepper powder, red chilli powder and coriander leaves.
