I had few guests coming home. Wanted some more yogurt, so got half a litre from outside. Also had some yogurt at home as well. My guests cancelled their visit. I had this youghurt left over. Lots of thoughts went around what to do with this yogurt. Was thinking of Kadi, felt a little bored to eat kadi and rice. Then was thinking of some dosa with curd. But found that it uses just 1 cup of youurt. Finally decided to make the yummy dahi wada.
Now here goes the recipe.
Cooking Time : 45-50 minutes
Servings : 4
Constituents:
For wada
Urad daal - 1 Cup
Split Moong daal - 1 fist
Flattened rice (Poha) - 1 table spoon
Jeera - 2 tea spoons
Salt to taste
Oil for frying
For Curd
Curds - 1 litre
Dhaniya jeera powder
Black Salt powder
Freshly chopped Cilantro
Red chilly powder
Tamarind chutney
Chat masala

Wada
1. Soak the Urad daal, Moong daal and Poha for 4-5 hours in water.
2. Grind it into thick consistency paste by adding very little water to grind.
3. Add salt and Jeera. Mix well.
4. Keep oil to heat to fry the wadas. To test if oil is hot, just put a small ball of the above batter in oil and see if it splutters. If yes, keep on low flame and fry the wadas by making lemon sized balls. Fry to golden brown.
5. After fry the wadas, allow them to cool down. Then dump these wadas into a bowl of water. Keep in the water for 10min or till the next batch of fried wadas are ready.
6. Squeeze the wadas tight so that there is minimal amount of water left in the wadas. Then dip them in the masala curd.
Masala Curd
1. Beat the curd in a large bowl to accomodate the curd and the wadas.
2. Add salt, black salt, sugar, dhaniya-jeera powder, red chilly powder, cilantro leaves, chat masala and mix well.
