Dahi wada ... Dumplings of lentils (Mixed) meaning 'wadas' are mixed with 'Dahi or lightly spiced yogurt. Simplest of dishes. Easy to prepare if you have a little planning done. Easy to digest. Absolutely great for the killing summers. Sharing here my very simple recipe.. Hope you all enjoy it.
INGREDIENTS :
FOR THE WADAS
Urad dal 1 Bowl (Split Black gram)
Moong Dal 1/4 Bowl (Split green gram) (This makes the wadas very soft)
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry the wadas.
Warm water to soak the wadas.
FOR THE DAHI :
Thick yogurt or 'Dahi'
Sugar as per taste
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder for garnish
Aamchur powder (Dry mango powder ) For garnish
Dhane-jeera powder(Coriander-cumin powder) for garnish
METHOD :
1. Wash and soak the urad dal and moong dal separately in some water for around 5 to 6 hrs.
2. After 5 to 6 hrs Grind both the dals separately to a paste and mix well. Leave aside for about 30 mins .
3. Add salt to taste to this mixture.
4. Heat the Oil in a kadai or wok. When the Oil is Hot , take small portions of the dal mix and deep fry the dumpling or wadas in the oil . Flame should be on 'Low' so that the wadas get cooked fully (Else they will turn brown on the outside and stay uncooked inside) .
5. Fry the wadas till nice and golden brown on all sides.
6. Put the hot wadas into warm water so they become light and fluffy. (This also removes the Oil from the wadas making them healthier)
7. Soak in the water for some time . Press the wadas lightly to remove or drain the excess water and keep the wadas aside.
PREPARE THE DAHI :
1. Whisk the curd till its nice, smooth and creamy .
2. Add salt and sugar to taste and mix well.
SERVING :
1. Arrange the soaked wadas on a plate.
2. Pour 'Dahi' over the 'wadas' so as to cover them with the 'Dahi' . Let the wadas soak the dahi.
3, Sprinkle Red chilli powder and/or Aamchur powder and/or Coriander and cumin powder as per individual liking.
4. Soft , melt in the mouth , healthy and easy to digest Dahi-wadas are ready to serve.
5. Enjoy !!!
