Mor kuzhambu with Thayir Vadai

At my mom's house we do not prepare thayir Vadai or Dahi Vadai separately.. whenever my mom does this dish she also prepares dahi vadai for us. So this is going to be a 2-in-1 dish. I was missing this for very long time. Also afraid that it is along process. But when asked for recipe to my Mom, it was so easy and quick and delicious :)
