Ingredients

Serves : 3
  • 1 cup of split skinned Green Gram (Dhuli Moong Dal).


  • 1 tablespoon of grated Ginger


  • 1/4 cup of cleaned and chopped fresh Coriander


  • 1 tsp Salt as per taste


  • 2 finely chopped green Chilies


  • 2 cup oil for frying


  • 1.5 cups of water/Buttermilk for soaking the Vadas


  • 1.5 cups of fresh Yogurt


  • 1/2 teaspoon of roasted Cumin seeds powder


  • 1 pinch Black Salt (Kala Namak) as per taste.

Directions

  • Wash split skinned Green Gram (Dhuli Moong Dal) thrice with water and then soak them in 1.5 cups of water (enough water) for about 2-4 hours
  • After soaking for about 4 hours, strain the water completely from the skinned Green Gram
  • Now put the soaked skinned Green Gram (Dhuli Moong Dal) into a grinder and start grinding them, by slowly adding very small amount of Water such that it forms a smooth thick paste. I have added in total 3 tablespoons of Water during the grinding process.
  • Add chopped green Coriander leaves, chopped green Chillies, grated Ginger and Salt as per taste into the Moong Dal paste.
  • Give it a quick whisk such that all ingredients get properly mixed.
  • Heat sufficient Oil (I have used refined Sunflower Oil) in a Pan/Wok. Once heated, take small portion of the batter in your hand and gently put them in oil to form medium sized fritters as shown in the picture below.
  • Fry them in till the side immersed in oil turn light brown in colour, on medium flame.
  • Flip them and cook the other side of Moong Dal Vada’s also. Fry them till they are cooked or turn golden brown in colour from all sides on medium flame.
  • Once cooked, take them out from Pan/Wok.
  • Now put them into a bowl and pour Buttermilk or Water into the balls. I have used Buttermilk but you can very easily replace it water.
  • Keep them immersed in Buttermilk or Water for about 15-20 minutes.
  • After soaking them, take them out, squeeze extra Buttermilk or Water out of them and arrange them in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, put Yogurt and add roasted Cumin seeds (Bhuna Jeera) powder and Black Salt into it and give it a quick whisk
  • Put soaked Moong Dal Dahi Vada into it and serve them with Khajoor Imli ki Chutney, some Red Chili powder and roasted cumin seeds powder.
