Dahi vada Is An Indian Chaat/Snack Prepared By Soaking Vadas In Thick Dahi (Yogurt).

((( Ingredients )))

Ingredients For Vada:
2 Cup Urad daal.
1 Cup Besan (Gram Flour).
Finely Chopped Ginger
1 Teaspoon Ajwain (Carom Seeds).
2 Fresh Green Chillies.
Vegetable Refined Oil To Deep Fry.

((( For Garnishing )))
2 Roasted Grounded Red Paprika
2 Teaspoon Roasted Cumin (Jeera) Powder
Freshly Chopped Coriander (Dhania Leaves)
Tamarind Sauce
Fresh Curry Leaves

((( Star Ingredient )))

1/2 kg Dahi (Fresh Yogurt)

((( Procedure )))

To Make Vada

Soak 2 Cup Urad Daal
(In Cold Water Overnight)
Grind It Into Smooth Paste The Next Day.
Add Salt To Taste To The Urad Daal Paste.

Now Add
Finely Chopped Ginger
Freshly Chopped Coriander
(Dhania Leaves)
1 Teaspoon Ajwain
(Also known as Carom Seeds)
2 Finely Chopped Fresh Green Chillies

Add These Ingredients
Into The Urad daal Paste
And Mix Well Until A Nice And Smooth
Batter Is Created.

Heat Oil In a Deep Frying Pan
Make Little Balls With The Urad Daal Batter
Now Drop The Balls Into The Heated Oil
And Deep Fry Till It Turns
Crispy Golden Brown.

Note 1:
Deep Frying Must Be Done In Slow Flame
To Make The Vada More
Crispier And Yummier!!!!!

Some Like The Vada To Be Extra Soft
So They Dip The Vada Into The Cold-Water
Just After Removing Them From
The Frying Pan.

But I Prefer Releasing The Vadas Directly Into The Yogurt
(To Retain Its Crispness)

Note 2:
Whisk The Yogurt
Before Dipping The Vadas Into It.

Note 3:
Incase The Yogurt Is Too Thick You Can Add Little Cold Water To The Yogurt To Balance The Thickness Of The Yogurt.

((( For Final Garnishing )))

Sprinkle:

Roasted Grounded Red Paprika
Roasted Cumin (Jeera) Powder
Freshly Chopped Coriander (Dhania Leaves)
Tamarind Sauce
Fresh Curry Leaves
