Thayir Vadai Recipe | Curd Vadai | South Indian Vada Recipe

Thayir Vadai Recipe

Thayir Vadai / Curd Vadas are my all time favourite. Usually all left over crisp vadas are made into either Sambar Vadai or Thayir Vadai. Curd is beaten, spiced and seasoned, Vadas are then soaked in warm water gently squeezed and then added to the curd to develop flavours. Usually we refrigerate curd vadas and enjoy them in the evening or next day. If you have seen my earlier post on how to make perfect crisp vadas you can use the same recipe as a base to make vadas and then make curd vadas with the left over vadas. I am this person who loves any kind of dahi based chaats and the next favourite would be Thayir vadas. They are simple and easy to make and you can garnish with carrot shavings and coriander leaves.

Cooks Wisdom


Tip 1


Adjust the green chilli according to spice tolerance

Tip 2


You can make the vadas plain instead of adding anything to the vada batter 


Tip 3


Always use fresh curd to make curd vadas they taste best that way. Do not use sour curd for this recipe


Tip 4


You can also dip vadas in buttermilk than in warm water


Tip 5


The reason we soak and drain vadas in water or buttermilk before adding them to thayir batter is that they will absorb the curd well and make the vadas soft

  5. Like the vadas soaked in Dahi. It gives a cooling effect to the vadas. It is generally more filling and healthy than the normal vadas.
