Perugu Vadalu

Dahi Vada




Ingredients:

Minapa pappu or urad dal-2 cups
Green chillis-3
Cumin seeds or jeera-1 teaspoon
Curry leaves-few
Ginger-small piece (optional)
Onion-1 (optional)
Salt-1 teaspoon
Oil for deep fry

Yogurt-4 cups
Fenugreek leaves (fresh or dry)-few
Chopped green chilli-1
Chopped coriander leaves-few
Turmeric powder-a pinch (optional)
Salt to taste
Oil-1 tablespoon
Mustard seeds-1/4 teaspoon






Method:

1. Soak the urad dal over night or at least for three hours.

2. Wash the dal and grind it into paste along with the green chillies, curry leaves, cumin seeds and a little salt.

3. Do not use too much water otherwise the batter will become loose and absorb more oil.

4. Heat oil for deep fry in a kadai or wok on medium flame.

5. Apply some oil on a plastic sheet and take a lemon sized batter and pat it on the sheet into a circle.

6. Make a hole in the center and deep fry the vadas until they turn brown.

7. Dip the vadas in water and immediately put them into the yogurt.

8. Heat one spoon of oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds,chopped green chilli and dry fenugreek leaves.

9. Let them splutter and add a pinch of salt and turmeric powder. Now add this to the yogurt with vadas and mix them well.

10. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and let them soak for one hour either in the fridge or outside. Delicious perugu vadalu are ready...

Hi Happy Cook! Thanks for your nice words.

Thank you Latha! I purposely arranged them to show the vada.

Thank you Mona! Welcome to my blog.

Thank you Remya! If the vada batter is loose (too watery), we can't get correct shape. And also we have to wet our hand while patting vadas and making holes.
