Think of Dahi Vadas as little clouds of comfort, soaking up creamy curd and bursting with flavour. Perfect for when you’ve had your fill of rich Holi treats. Let’s get cracking.

  • Soak and Grind: First off, take your urad dal and give it a good soak for about six hours. This makes it super soft. Then, grind it into a smooth paste. Don’t rush this part, a smooth paste makes for soft Vadas.
  • Spice it Up: Now, throw in your cumin seeds, black pepper, grated ginger, and a pinch of black salt. A little regular salt too, of course. Mix it all well. And here’s the secret: a pinch of baking soda. This is what makes them extra spongy.
  • Fry and Dip: Heat up some oil, make small balls from your batter, and fry them till they’re a lovely golden brown. Drain them on some tissue paper. Next, whisk your curd with a bit of sugar, and then dunk those fried vadas in. Let them soak for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve it Sweet and Spicy: Plate up your curd-soaked vadas, drizzle them with green chutney (coriander and mint) and sweet chutney (tamarind). A sprinkle of red chilli powder and roasted cumin seeds? Absolutely.
