Cool and Refreshing: Dahi Vada Recipe
Delight your taste buds with the creamy and tangy flavors of Dahi Vada. This beloved Indian snack, consisting of deep-fried lentil dumplings soaked in yogurt and topped with spicy and sweet chutneys, is a perfect balance of textures and tastes.
Ingredients:
For Vada:
- 1 cup urad dal (black gram lentils), soaked overnight
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
- Salt to taste
- Oil for deep frying
For Yogurt Mixture:
- 2 cups thick yogurt (curd)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- Salt to taste
- Sugar to taste (optional)
- Water (as needed to thin yogurt)
For Toppings:
- Tamarind chutney
- Green chutney
- Chaat masala
- Roasted cumin powder
- Chopped coriander leaves
- Sev (crispy chickpea flour noodles)
Instructions:
For Vada:
- Drain the soaked urad dal and grind it into a smooth batter using minimal water.
- Add chopped green chilies, grated ginger, and salt to the batter. Mix well.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Wet your hands and take small portions of the batter. Shape them into round vadas and carefully drop them into the hot oil.
- Fry the vadas until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain excess oil on paper towels.
For Yogurt Mixture:
- Whisk the thick yogurt in a bowl until smooth. Add cumin powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Adjust the consistency by adding water to achieve a pouring consistency.
- Immerse the fried vadas in the yogurt mixture. Ensure that the vadas are well-coated with the yogurt mixture. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
To Serve:
- Arrange the soaked Dahi Vadas on a serving plate.
- Drizzle tamarind chutney and green chutney over the vadas.
- Sprinkle chaat masala, roasted cumin powder, and chopped coriander leaves on top.
- Garnish with a generous amount of sev.
