Preparing Dahi Vada was on my mind since quite long and this weekend I got some time to try it out. Initially I thought it might be time consuming. But its a really really simple recipe and can be prepared in no time. Only thing is you need to remember to soak the urad dal.
It is one of the healthy and quick snack and hence would have a place in my kitchen frequently now onwards. Although the picture does not look impressive, but its really delicious :)
Ingriedients:
Urad dal(white one without skin) - half cup
Ginger - small piece
Green chillies - 2
Salt
Oil for deep frying
Curd
Sugar
Chaat Masala
Tamarind Chutney
Procedure:
Preparing the Vadas
1. Soak the urad dal for atleast 3 hours. I soaked it for 5 hours.
2. Grind it togather with one small piece of ginger, 2 green chillies and salt to a fine paste. Do not add water while grinding.
3. If the soaked urad dal has some leftover water, keep it aside. You can add it later if needed.
4. Take a kadhai and keep oil for boiling.
5. Once the oil is hot enough, prepare round balls and deep fry them on a medium flame till they are golden brown.
6. You can enjoy some of vadas with chutney.
7. Remaining vadas, put them directly in warm water.
8. Keep them in the water for a minute. Then squeeze the remaining water and keep them aside.
Preparing Dahi Vada
1. Add sugar to the chilled curd and beat it well. Add little water if needed
2. Take the serving plate. Place the vada, pour the curd over it.
3. Next pour the tamarind chutney followed by the chaat masala

Delicious Dahi vada is ready
Tips:
1. To check if oil is hot enough, dropp one small drop of the prepared batter, it should float on the oil.
2. For preparing the vadas, if the batter is sticky and you can roll them into balls, take a big spoon and drop the batter in the kadhai in the form of balls.
3. You can also sprinkle some grated carrot over the dahi vada for added taste and nutrition.
