Dahivada/Dahi bhalle

 My mother likes this dish very much. It is rich in protein and easy to make.

Ingredients:

Urad dal 1 cup

green chilli 1

ginger-small piece

oil for deep frying

fresh curd 2 cups

salt as per salt-both for curd and vada

sugar 2-3 teaspoon. If u dont like sweet version, avoid sugar

roasted jeera powder 1 teaspoon

red chilli powder 1 teaspoon

green chutney 

tamarind chutney

Method:

Wash and soak urad dal overnight. Take a mixer add dal, ginger, green chilli and crush to prepare a batter. The batter should be finely crushed. Add a pinch of salt and mix well in one direction for 2-3 minutes. This step will bring fluffiness to this dish. Keep it covered and allow it to settle for 3-4 hours.

Take a pan with oil for frying. Take a big spoonful of batter, once the oil is heated well, add one by one. It will swell and turn golden yellow in colour. Turn and fry the other side also. Take a bowl with water. Add these vada to this water to soak for half an hour. Press and remove excess water. Make sure the vada is removed from the water in half an hour to avoid breakage of the vada. Be gentle in this process as vada will be soft.

Take fresh cold curd. Add sugar powder and salt. Mix well so the curd is smooth in consistency. store in freeze to keep it cold.

Arrange in a plate, pour curd, green chutney, and tamarind chutney. Sprinkle jeera powder and chilli powder. This dish tastes best when chilled.

Sev, Pomegranate, and coriander can be used to garnish. Vada can be made from moong daal, chuala dal also. All 3 dal also can be mixed.

if you don't want to deep fry, one can use appe patra for it. Greese with oil, put the batter in each pocket and cover with a lid. Once done flip the other side to cook. It will take around 10-15 minutes to get ready. Add this vada to the water bowl as above. Follow further steps like the fried version.
