Instructions

  1. To begin making the Dahi Vada Recipe, we have to first soak the urad dal for 2 hours in 2 cups of water
  2. Grind the dal with salt adding just enough water to make into a thick and smooth batter
  3. Preheat the Kuzhi Paniyaram pan with a pinch of oil on each cavity
  4. Add a dollop of the dahi vada batter into each cavity, cover the pan and allow it to steam in medium heat
  5. You could optionally add a little more oil into each cavity to get a slightly more crispy texture
  6. Once the vada looks steamed from the top, flip the vada over and allow it to turn into a golden brown on both sides
  7. Repeat the above process with the remaining portions of the dahi vada batter
  8. Now heat a big broad pot of water; once it has reached the boiling point, turn off heat
  9. Add the pan fried vada’s to the hot water
  10. Don’t add too many at a time
  11. Give enough space for the vada’s to breathe, as they tend to expand more in water
  12. Let the vada’s soak in water for about 5 minutes or until have turned soft
  13. Once all the vada’s are soaked and softened scoop out draining any excess water, without squeezing them
  14. Set them aside in a serving dish
  15. The process of soaking the vada’s in water makes them soft, fluffy and juicy at the same time making it porous
  16. To make the chaas for the dahi vada
  17. Into the tall jar of the mixer grinder, add the dahi, salt, green chillies, cumin seeds and mint leaves
  18. Coarsely blend it to make a smooth mixture
  19. Pour the ground yogurt into a large bowl- add water and whisk well
  20. Check the salt and seasonings and adjust according to taste
  21. Once done, add the soaked vada into the chaas
  22. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Chaas Dahi Vada until you are ready to serve
