Transfer batter into a bowl and beat it well for a minute to aerate. Heat oil over medium heat and keep large bowl of water ready to soak fried vadas. When oil is hot enough, gently drop a heaped teaspoon of batter into the oil. Fry until golden then remove from oil and drain on kitchen paper.  Then gently drop vadas into the bowl of water and soak for 20 minutes. Gently squeeze excess water and place on a serving plate. In another bowl whisk together yogurt, black salt, toasted chilli powder and chilli flakes, toasted cumin powder, salt, sugar and enough milk to get a thick pouring consistency. Pour generous amount of yogurt mix over the vadas and top with tamarind and date chutney, chopped coriander, chilli powder, cumin powder and desiccated coconut. Serve immediately or refrigerate and serve later.
