DahiBhalle/dahi vada :
Dahi bhalle a north indian dish of fried dumplings soaked in Yoghurt uses uraddal and also is called dahi vada when the dals used include moongdal too sometimes.Also we can make them like doughnuts with a hole in centre or for less inexperienced just make ballsof ground dal and slide them into hot oil to fry.
Ingredients :
2 cups - Urad dal / black gram dal
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry
Garnishing with yogurt2 to 3 cups - Yogurt ( chilled)
1/2 tsp - Jeera / cumin ( dry roast and powder)
1/4 tsp - Red chili powder ( to sprinkle )
1/2 tsp - Chaat masala powder ( to sprinkle )
1 tbsp - Tamarind Chutney1 tbsp
Coriander leaves
choppedSalt to taste
Method:
- Wash and soak urad dal for 4 to 5 hours Or overnight.
- Drain and grind urad dal little at a time in a grinder without adding any water. If required add one tablespoon water to make the grinder work. Grind to a thick smooth paste. Add salt and mix well.
- Wet your palms with water, take a small amount and form a ball. Place in the center of the palm. Flatten and make a hole in the center, like a doughnut Or just make round balls and fry as round vada's.Wet the palm when shaping each vada. Water will prevent the paste from sticking to the palm.
- Heat a kadai or a wok with enough oil to deep fry on medium heat. When the oil is hot,carefully slide the vada/bhalle into the oil and deep fry till crisp and golden brown in colour. Drain excess oil.
- Soak the Vada's in a bowl of luke warm water for 5 minutes and gently press each vada between your palms, to drain off excess water. Set aside
- Beat curds well with salt as required in a serving dish. Add the vadas/bhalle to the beaten yogurt.
- Garnish - Sprinkle red chili powder, roasted jeera powder, chaat masala powder and coriander leaves over the vadas.Serve the vada in a serving dish with tamarind chutney!!!
It is an ultimate bliss to savour this dish at any occasion. So go ahead and enjoy yourself!!!!!
