1. Assuming that you have to taken the vadas from the frying pan , you have to put the vadas in a bowl filled with  water. (This makes the vada soft and it can absorb all the spices well.)
2. Remove the vada from the water and carefully squeeze the water out.(This has to be done with care lest the vada might break.)
3. Then place these in the curd mixture shown below.

Curd/Dahi Prepatation:

1. Now, take the bowl of curd, add salt, turmeric,green chillies and ginger.
2. Mix all the contents well.
3. Now, take a frying pan, pour some oil and add urad dal.
4. Once it turns a little brown, add mustard and jeera.
5. Add asafotida and pour all the contents in the curd. Mix well.

Add the vadas in the curd and keep it out for sometime. This lets the curd and the contents to be absorbed by the vadas well.

Note:

1. Try not to put the vadas directly without soaking them in water. Its softer and the spices are absorbed well.
2. You can add coconut too in the curd mixture.

And "Lovely vadas are ready!"

Happy Cooking!
