Dahi Vada

DAHI VADA -


Many serve it as a dessert, and many as snacks. 'Dahi Vada' is one of the known and much relished dish in North India. My Mom makes it the best, & I still remember, that I used to only relish it if it was from her kitchen. So, I tried my Mom's recipe.. Hope you guys like it .. :) 

INGREDIENTS -

1. Dhuli Urad Dal - 1 cup soaked over night
2. Dhuli Moong - 1 1/2 cup soaked overnight (Dhuli Moong should be always more in quantity than the Dhuli Urad)
3. Curd - 1 Kg finely blended
4. Sugar Powder - 2 tbsp
5. Salt - 1 tsp (to taste)
6. Roasted Dry Red Chilli - 1 for garnishing
7. Roasted Cumin seeds  - 1 tsp for garnishing
8. Roasted Fennel Seeds - 1 tsp for garnishing
9. Imli (Tamarind Sauce) - for garnishing
10. Dry fruits - 1 tsp

PREPARATION -

Blend both the soaked dals together in a blender to make a fine paste. Pour it in a bowl and add salt , and whisk it until it is fluffy (take a small amount of the batter in a spoon and drop it in water, if it floats your batter is ready to cook). Now add the dry fruits in the batter. Heat oil in a deep pan and pour the batter with a spoon or hand by giving it shape. Make several portions with the batter and keep frying them on a medium high low flame until they are golden brown. In another pan boil water. When water starts boiling drop these Vadas in it and let it soak in it for minimum half an hour.

Meanwhile, grind the roasted dry red chilli, Cumin seeds and Fennel seeds together to make a powder. In another bowl finely blend the Curd by adding salt and sugar to it according to taste.

Your Vadas when ready serve them to your guest with Curd mixture and garnish it with the grounded masala (spice) and Imli (Tamarind) sauce.
