Khandvi is a popular snack from Gujarat known for its delicate texture and unique flavor.

Dahi Vada is a popular dish made from deep-fried lentil dumplings soaked in yogurt, seasoned with a variety of spices. It’s a beloved comfort food, often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. However, making Dahi Vada traditionally requires a bit of time and skill, especially when it comes to frying the vadas just right. With Vimms Food’s Dahi Vada Mix, you can enjoy this classic dish with ease.

How it works:
The Dahi Vada Mix simplifies the entire process. Just mix the packet with water, shape the dough into vadas, fry them up, and soak them in yogurt. Top with your favorite chutneys and seasonings, and voila – the perfect Dahi Vada, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Who doesn’t love a crispy, golden Dosa? This South Indian favorite is often enjoyed with a variety of chutneys and sambar. Making dosas from scratch involves fermenting rice and lentils overnight, which can be time-consuming. Fortunately, Vimms Food’s Dosa Mix lets you enjoy this delicious dish with minimal effort.

How it works:
Mix the packet with water to create a batter, then steam it in an idli maker or steamer. The result is perfect idlis – soft, pillowy, and ready to eat in minutes.
