How to make Moong-dal Dahi Vada ❤️
Wash and Soak moong dal and urad dal separately for 30 min. Transfer it to a mixie jar and grind coursely without adding any water. The batter should be thick . Pour the batter in a large bowl to whisk well . Whisk for 7-8 min.
Take a spoon of batter and put in water. If the morsel sinks means it needs to be whisked for few more minutes. Otherwise if it floats the batter is ready to get fried.
Add salt and turmeric to the batter. Heat sufficient oil to deep fry. Fry into vadas.
