Heat the Coconut Oil in a deep kadhai over medium flame to 175 C.
Drain the Urad Dal and Toor Dal that soaked 8 hours and grind them with salt and very little water into a thick, fluffy batter.
Beat the batter 3 minutes with your hand until it lightens and a drop of it floats in water.
Wet your palm, shape a spoon of batter into a disc with a hole in the middle and slide it into the hot oil.
Fry 3-4 minutes a side until the vadai are deep golden and firm, then drain them.
Drop the hot vadai into warm salted water for 5 minutes, then press gently between your palms to squeeze the water out.
Whisk the Curd with salt until smooth, pour it over the soaked vadai and rest them 30 minutes so they drink it in.
Garnish with Coriander Leaves and serve chilled.
