These were a staple at every birthday party in the Scolt house. My mother loves them and although I don’t enjoy this dish too much, I know someone who wolfed up the entire thing and that truly gives me the pleasure of cooking.
Ingredients:
1 cup urad dal or yellow moong dal
1 tbsp chaat masala
1 tbsp red chili powder
1 tsp ginger paste
Salt to taste
A bunch of coriander leaves cut finely
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 cup of yoghurt (thinned)
1 cup milk
Coriander+mint & imli chutney (refer to the recipes in my recipes on demand section in this blog)
Recipe for dahi vadas/ bhallas:
Step 1: Grind the dal, salt, ginger and a little water in a blender.
Step 2: Add some coriander leaves and cumin seeds to this and mix well.
Step 3: Heat oil in a deep pan. Drop one spoonful of the mixture and deep fry the bara. Repeat this till the mixture is over.
Step 4: Once the oil is well drained from the vadas, soak them in warm milk for a few minutes to ensure they turn soft.
Plate up!!
Place the vadas on a plate. Pour the thinned yoghurt on top and follow this with the imli chutney and coriander & mint chutney. Finish the final touches off with a sprinkle of red chili powder and chaat masala. Refrigerate and serve cold.
