Recipe:
  • Make a thick flowy batter of gram flour, adding water little at a time.
  • Add all the spices and ingredients in the batter list except oil. Mix well.
  • Keep it aside for 10 mins.
  • Take curd in a large wide bowl, add water to your desired consistency. The curd shouldn't be too thick or too thin. Keep ot aside.
  • Take a deep large bowl, add chilled water and little salt. Keep it aside.
  • Now, heat oil in a wok and deep fry vadas till nice golden on both the sides.

  •  Take them out on a paper to remove excess oil, then put them in the chilled salted water, so it becomes spongy and fluffy.
                   (salted water)
  • Do the same with all the vadas.
  • They will absorb water within few mins, and increase in size.
  • Now take out all the vadas, squeezing extra water from then and put them in the curd bowl.
  • So, now when you have put all the vadas in the curd, heat a pan.
  • Add oil, when its hot, add mustard seeds, as it crackles, add curry leaves, green chillies. Be careful at this step as oil splatters due to green chillies. Fry them a little.

  • Add this tempering to the dahi vade. Adjust salt to taste, sprinkle red chilli powder, chaat masala powder.

  • Garnish it with coriander leaves.
  • Serve it with green chutney or imli chutney. 😊
