Cooking Instructions

5hrs+ 45 minutes
  1. 1

    Soak the urad dal overnight or for at least 4-5 hours. Drain them.

  2. 2

    Grind the urad dal, green chilies, ginger and asafoetida with little water to a smooth fluffy batter.

  3. 3

    3. Take the ground batter in a bowl. Briskly stir the batter for a minute or two with a spoon or spatula or even use your hand. This makes the batter more fluffy and light.

  4. 4

    Heat oil for deep frying. Shape and stuff the vada with chopped almonds and raisins and drop the batter with your hands in medium hot oil.

  5. 5

    Fry the vada in batches till crisp and golden.

  6. 6

    Drain the vada in a plate. When they are still warm, add the vada in water (warm to hot water) and let them soak for 18-20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Press each soaked vada between your palms to remove water. Gently press or else you might end up breaking them.

  8. 8

    Beat the chilled curd/yoghurt till smooth and add a spoonful of cream to it. Add the spices(salt, black pepper, roasted cumin and crushed mint powder)and milk and beat.

  9. 9

    Put all the vada in the beaten curd.

  10. 10

    Serve cold with tamarind chutney. Garnish with spices.
