Dahi Vada


Dahi vada was on my to-do list for a very long time.Just got the thought of making and here they are yum yum dahi vadas ready.Very very easy to make.If i can do it i bet anybody can do it :). I have gone through websites which helped me in making the shape and importantly a hole in the vada. Thanks a lot to the video that helped me. So get going and treat your loved ones.

Ingredients :

1. Urad dal - 1
2. Curd - 500gms
3. oil - Sufficient amount to deep fry vadas
4. Mustard powder - 1tsp
5. Grated Ginger - 1tsp
6. Mustard seeds - 1tsp
7. coriander leaves - 2 tbsp






1 Take 1 cup of minapappu/urad dal and soak for 3-4 hours
2. Make a batter.Batter must be thick
3. Add little salt to the batter.
4. If you take a spoon and try to drop the batter, it should fall down but
slowly.That should be the consistency
5. Take a pan and take sufficient oil to deep fry the vadas.
6. Take a plastic cover, apply some water,and wet your hands too so that the batter
dont stick to your hands.
7. With a spoon drop small lump on the cover.Now with wet hands.pat it slightly and
make hole in the middle.
8. Lift the vada from the cover.
9. Slighlty drop it in your hands and slide into the oil.
10. Since you apply water to the cover it easily comes to your hand.
since your hands are wet, it easily skids into the oil.
11. Huh!!your job of dropping the vada is done.
12. Now in the medium flame fry the vadas on 2 sides till it is golden color
take the vadas immerse in water for 2mins
13. Take it out and sqeeze water from the vada and keep it aside
