Dahi Badey is a popular favourite of everyone from the City in Ramadan. In this innovative twist that i gave to these fluffy Badey is that i had made use of both Black Gram or Urad Daal and Split Yellow Lentils or Moong Daal in equal proportions.
These are delicious and desirable. And are light and airy soaking in all the Yoghurt mix and just melts in your mouth.
Enjoy these lip-smacking Dahi Badey or Vade as a healthy Brunch or an evening snack on any given day with your loved ones and friends.

The White Lentils make a big difference to the overall look of the dish. It is more creamier and flavourful. The taste also has a uniqueness to it. All in all these split husked Black Gram Lentils are a great option for the Dahi Vade. These are also made with Gram flour or Besan as well. But those made with Black Gram or Maash ki Daal are always a hit. They are such a wonderful sight to look at. Beautiful looking and absolutely flavourful plus delightfully delicious.

25-30 minutes

1

Grind the lentils using as little water as possible. Add all the ingredients mentioned to it. Mix well and fry small balls of the thick and a fluffy batter until golden brown and crisp.

2

Keep the yogurt mix ready by adding all to a container. Add the vadas to this mix as you fry so that they are soaked well and are soft and spongy.

You can add little water to it if it is too thick and beat well. Don't add much. Add these pakoras into the yogurt mix as they get fried directly. There is absolutely no need of soaking them in water. They will be super soft without doing that as soaked daals are used here for making them. It is required only for those made with gram flour.

4

Do not soak these vadas in water before adding to the yoghurt mix. I suggest you all not to do that. These vadas are cotton soft on their own as these are made from dhuli urad and moong daal.

These can be enjoyed cold also. Refrigerate them and eat as per one's choice and preference. Both the ways, they taste truly mindblowing and delicious. The crunch of the tempering added makes them a treat to the tastebuds. Prepare the tempering and add it to the yogurt mix. Give it a nice mix with light hands so that the vadas don't break up.

Serve these melt in mouth super spongy vadas as an afterschool treat, at tea-time as a lovely snack, or as a healthy brunch on weekends and holidays or just about any time on any given day that one would prefer to have them. I served them at Iftaar this Ramadan for my family and guests. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
