How to make Stuffed Dahi Vada Recipe
To begin making the Stuffed Dahi Vada, firstly soak mochai beans and whole urad dal overnight in water. Combine both of them and grind in a mixer to a smooth paste adding enough water.
Transfer dal paste to a mixing bowl and add chopped onions, green chilies, ginger and salt. Mix well everything and keep it aside for about 10 mins.
You can even add chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves.
For deep frying, heat oil in a heavy bottomed Kadai or pan. Wet your hands with water and take a tablespoon of batter and make a small disc and put the stuffings in between.
Close it with a tablespoon of batter. Deep fry them till turns golden brown. For low-fat version, try cooking stuffed Vada in a Paniyaram pan.
Whisk curd till smooth and add water. Combine well and add chili powder, masala powder, chopped chilies and salt.
Once Vada comes to room temperature, soak them in curd (let it soak for at least for 1-2 hours). Garnish with carrot and coriander leaves.
