You must have had dahi vadas, but this is a dish with the same concept but totally different taste. The pakodis of yellow moong dal are so tasty that you can also have them just like that. But ya adding the curds, raddish, chutneys and masalas definitely intensify the taste. Especially the raddish, which gives a great crunch to this chaat.
