Special Dahi Vada

Ingredients:

1 cup split green gram lentil (dhuli moong ki dal) 

1 cup split black gram lentil (dhuli urad ki dal) 

1 kg fresh curd (dahi) 

1 tsp roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera) 

1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing) 

salt to taste

1 tsp red chilly powder (lal mirch) 

oil for frying

Method:

Soak both the dals for 5-6 hours and then grind them to a fine paste. Mix dal and asafoetida in a container and beat nicely. Take a cup of water and put 1 tsp of dal in it. If it floats on the surface then its ready for making bade. Heat oil in a pan. Now make rounds with the help of both the hands and fry them until they turn light brown. Dip them in water for 10-15 minutes and press with both the hands to retain extra water. Beat curd and dip all badas in it. At the serving time sprinkle salt, cumin seeds and red chilly powder along with green chutney and meethi chutney. Serve tasty dahi badas a little chilled.
