'''Dahi Vada''' is a popular snack originating from the [[Indian subcontinent]]. It is part of the traditional [[Indian cuisine]] and is enjoyed by people of all ages. The dish is known by various names in different regions of India, such as "Dahi Bhalla" in [[Punjabi cuisine]], "Thayir Vadai" in [[Tamil cuisine]], "Dahi Bara" in [[Odia cuisine]] and "Doi Bora" in [[Bengali cuisine]].

== Ingredients ==
The main ingredients of Dahi Vada are [[urad dal]] (black gram) and [[dahi]] (yogurt). The urad dal is soaked overnight, then ground into a batter. The batter is then shaped into vadas (dumplings) and deep-fried until golden brown. The fried vadas are then soaked in water to remove excess oil and make them soft. After soaking, the vadas are immersed in thick dahi. The dish is usually garnished with spices like [[cumin]], [[chili powder]], [[chaat masala]], black salt, and [[coriander]] leaves.

== Preparation ==
The preparation of Dahi Vada involves several steps. First, the urad dal is soaked overnight and then ground into a smooth batter. The batter is then shaped into small vadas and deep-fried until they turn golden brown. The fried vadas are then soaked in water to remove excess oil and soften them. After soaking, the vadas are squeezed to remove water and then immersed in thick dahi. The dish is garnished with spices and coriander leaves before serving.

== Variations ==
There are several regional variations of Dahi Vada in India. In North India, it is often served with [[tamarind chutney]] and garnished with pomegranate seeds. In South India, the vadas are made smaller and are soaked in a spicy yogurt mixture. In East India, particularly in Odisha, the vadas are soaked in a thin yogurt mixture and served with a topping of finely chopped onion and coriander leaves.

== Cultural Significance ==
Dahi Vada is often prepared during festivals and special occasions in India. It is a staple dish during [[Holi]], [[Diwali]], and [[Navaratri]]. The dish is also popular as a street food and is commonly available at chaat stalls across India.
