Dahi Vada!!
Ingredients
1 cup Urad dal (split black gram)1/4 cup moong dal split green gram.
3 green clillies.
1 tbs or 3/4 in ginger.
2 cups yogurt.
Chilli powder
Tamarind date Chutney.
Oil for frying.
Coriander 1/2 cup.
Procedure
Wash and Soak the Urad dal and moong dal overnight.
Grind the soaked dals(both)with ginger and green chillies.
Add salt as taste in the batter.
Now the MOST IMPORTANT STEP,whisk the dal batter to fluff it up.(whisking in the stand mixer is the best choice).
Fluffing up the batter helps make the vada lighter and spongy.
Heat the oil on low medium heat.(flame has to be low it helps vadas to cook through)
Drop a small drop of batter if it floats in the oil it means oil is adequately heated.
Then start dropping spoon fulls of batter in the oil.
Fry till slightly golden brown.
Pat the Vadas on the paper towels.Then drop them in lukewarm water.Keep them in water for about 2 mins then squeeze excess water keep aside.
Fry all the Vadas and keep aside.
Spread little Tamarind date chutney on all the vadas .
Take the yogurt Add in about 3 cups of water.(not to thick or else vadas won't absorb the yogurt flavors)
Add 4 tbs of sugar and salt as per taste.
Pour the yogurt/buttermilk on the vadas and let them sit for about an hour before you serve.
This will let the yogurt flavors get absorbed.
