Baked Dahi Vada / Baked Dahi bhalla

Baked dahi vada is very popular North indian street food with my baked twist to the traditional recipe for healthy version. It is having all the taste your palate needs without any compromise.

If you have checked my baked moong dal falafel and baked vada then you might know that frying is becoming obsolete in my recipes.

This healthier version of dahi vadas are high in protein because of  urad dal and yogurt.
