Recipe for Dahi Vada


Step 1: Prepare the Urad dal paste

Wash and soak the Urad dal overnight before grinding it to a fine paste with very little water. The batter should be thick enough to make the vada. Beat the batter until it is light and fluffy. Mix well after adding ginger and green chilies. Make it into tiny balls and shape it into tikkis.

Step 2: Deep-fry the vadas before giving them a cold water soak.

Heat the oil in a heavy bottom pan over a high flame. Do not forget to flatten the top of the ball before slowly dropping it into the hot oil. Deep fry for a few minutes on medium heat, then on low heat until golden brown. Place the deep-fried vadas on a plate lined with a kitchen towel. After you've finished making vadas, soak the deep-fried vadas in cold water for about 30 minutes.

Step 3: Make fresh Dahi Vada and serve it

Combine Sharma’s Kitchen Yoghurt and sugar to make sweet curd. Now, lightly crush the soaked vadas between your palms, and squeeze out the water. Place vada on a plate with sweet curd on top. Sprinkle black salt, roasted cumin seeds, and coriander leaves on top of the tamarind chutney before serving.

Are you one of people who don’t like to eat plain Yoghurt? Here are some delightful ways to enjoy it and derive its various benefits

Yoghurt rice or dahi chawal

Take a bowl of cooked rice, mix it with Yoghurt, a bit of pepper and salt and then have it. You could also garnish it with some pomegranate seeds.

Raita

Mix vegetables like onions and tomatoes and add them to Yoghurt. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the taste. You can also make other types of raita including boondi raita. Mint and jeera raita aid digestion.

Kadhi

This sour and slightly spicy delicacy with a think consistency is made from a mixture of Yoghurt and besan (gram flour). Usually enjoyed with steamed or jeera rice, it can also be served with some freshly made parathas or rotis.
