Thayir Vadai (Curd Vadai / Dahi Vada) is ammas favorite and I have seen her order it when we visit restaurants. I like chaat style dahi vada more than this one but can have it once in a while esp during the train journeys. I saw this recipe in a tamil magazine from library, quickly jotted down the recipe which was long back. And last week when we made uluthu vada I reserved the batter to make this thayir vadai. I am trying my best to excel in shaping the vadas and this time it was far better than last time so by practise I may get it better. Please check how to shape vadas video here.

Expert Tips
Never use sour curd for making thayir vada. Also grinding the batter in grinder gives a more fluffy vada but if you are in a hurry then mixer is ok too but there will be difference in the vada texture. Soaking urad dal for more time say 4-5hrs) makes the vadas absorb less oil. You can even dip the vadas in buttermilk instead of hot water. While tempering you can even use 2 red chillies. I used only 1 cup of curd in the stepwise pictures and reserved the remaining curd for the reserved vadas.
