Steps

45 minutes

1

First, rinse the moong dal and urad dal separately 3-4 times. Soak each in separate bowls with water for 6 hours.
2

After soaking, drain the water and add both dals to a blender jar. Add green chilies, ginger, cumin seeds, and salt. Blend until smooth.
3

Whisk this mixture well for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
4

Wet your hands with water, shape the batter into small balls, and carefully drop them into hot oil. Fry on medium heat until golden brown.
5

Remove the hot vadas and soak them in water for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix the whisked yogurt with salt and sugar.
6

Gently squeeze the water from the vadas and place them in a serving bowl. Pour the whisked yogurt over the top, then sprinkle with red chili powder and chili flakes.
7

Top with green chutney, fine sev, chopped cilantro, black salt, roasted cumin powder, and chaat masala. Serve immediately.
