Dahi vada


Ingredients:- 
1 cup urad dal, 2 tbsp chana dal, 1/2 liter thick curd, 5/6 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt & mirchi
powder, jeera powder, chaat masala, meethi imli ki chutney & coriander to garnish. oil to fry.

Method:- 
Soak urad & chana dal in warm water for 5-6 hours. Grind well to a fine paste.
Put enough oil in a kadhai & leave to heat on gas stove.
Take dal paste in a big bowl, add little salt to it & blend very well with your hand for 5 minutes. The mixture will be fluffy & double it's size.
Make small vadas & fry on medium heat. If you fry it on high heat the vadas will be done from outside but will remain uncooked inside & will turn hard inside once you add it to curd.
You can add crushed black pepper or saunf to the vada batter as per your likes.
While you fry the vadas keep some warm water ready with a pinch of salt to it in a big pan. Add the fried vadas to it & let it soak for 10 minutes. If the vadas float on top of the water, then it is properly done. If the vadas are uncooked from inside it will settle to the bottom of the pan.
After 10 minutes, squeeze each vada into your palms & take out water. Arrange the vadas in a shallow glass bowl.
Blend curd with sugar & little salt with hand blender. Pour curd on vadas. Add some sweet imli chutney on top of each vada.Sprinkle mirch powder, chaat masala, jeera powder, chopped coriander on top. Serve it chilled.

Happy cooking.
