Recipe to make Moong Dal Dahi Vada
First step- To make moong dal dahi vada, take 1 bowl of moong dal and add 2 spoons of urad dal to it. Adding urad dal is optional. We are using urad dal just to add some grease to the vada. Soak both the pulses in water overnight. Use washed moong dal to make dahi vada. If you are soaking pulses during the day then keep them soaked for 6-7 hours.
Second step- Now wash the soaked dal with clean water 1-2 times. Now take out all the water from the lentils and put it in a mixer and grind it finely. If you have difficulty in grinding pulses, you can add 1-2 spoons of water and grind them. Now beat the ground moong dal well. While whipping the dal, rotate it to one side only. To check whether the dal has been beaten well, check the dal by adding 1 drop of it to water in a bowl. If the dal starts floating in water then understand that it is ready to make vada.
Third step- Now add very light salt and cumin seeds to the dal. Now heat oil in a pan and fry round vadas. On the other hand, heat water in a pan on the gas and add some asafoetida in it. Now keep adding the roasted vadas into the water. Leave the vadi in water for 1-2 hours.
Fourth step- Now take out all the vadas from the water and squeeze them well. Place 2 vadas in a plate to serve. Serve curd over it with red tamarind chutney, green coriander and green chilli chutney. To enhance the taste of Dahi Vada, add crushed roasted cumin seeds, sprinkle some salt and also add some red chilli powder. This will increase the taste of Dahi Vada manifold. If you make curd vada like this and eat it, you will keep licking your fingers.
