Recipe Source & Acknowledgement: Homely Food
Today I am going to share a mouthwatering chaat item "Dahi Vada", which also known as dahi bhalla, perugu vada, thayir vada or doi bora. A mouthwatering and yummilicious chaat item, is popular through out India. This recipe I inherited from my 'Ma', she is really a wonderful cook. In summer days, she oftenly made this delicious chat patta dish for our evening snacks. This is an all times favourite cold appetizer or starter.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup Urad Dal
1 tbsp Mung Dal
3 Cups Plain Yogurt/Curd/Dahi
Red Chilli Powder (as per taste)
Roasted Cumin Powder (as per taste)
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves (chopped)
10-12 Curry Leaves
2 Green Chillies
A Pinch of Asafoetida
Sweet Tamarind chutney, green chutney & sev for garnishing
Oil to deep fry

METHOD:
Soak urad dal along with mung dal for overnight. Drain it completely. 

Grind it in mixer along with curry leaves, green chillies and little water, till make a smooth paste. 

Mix addasafoetida, cumin powder, red chilli powder and salt with the pounded dal. Mix nicely.

Prepare butter milk with 1&1/2 Cups yogurt with salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder and set it aside. 

Heat oil on medium heat for deep frying. Wet your hand and take out 2 tbsps of batter and slight it very carefully in the hot oil. Deep fry vadas till golden brown. 

Drain oil and soak vadas in butter milk for 1-2 hours. Vadas absorbed maximum buttermilk.


Prepare yogurt mixture by adding little salt, cumin powder and red chilli powder. Mix nicely. Keep it in refrigerator till needed. Now place soaked vadas on a serving plate. Pour yogurt mixture on it. Sprinkle coriander leaves on the top. 

Add sev mixture and sprinkle cumin-red chilli powder, green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney on the top. Serve chilled. Enjoy this luscious & mouthwatering appetizer!
