Dal vada Recipe


How to Make Dal vada Recipe (दाल वडा रेसिपी) 

Ingredients for Dal vada Recipe 

1 cup Chilkewali moong dal (Moong dal with skin)
Water to soak the dal
2-3 Green chilies
½ inch Ginger
2 tablespoons Cilantro or coriander leaves
2 tablespoons Water for grinding
Salt to taste
¼ teaspoon Hing (Asafoetida)
Oil for deep frying
Onion thinly sliced (to serve on side)
Green chilies slit and deep fried (to serve on side)

Method :

  • Measure and take moong dal with skin (chilka moong dal). Take into the colander or strainer and wash under running cold water till water runs clear. Rinse them in a bowl 3-4 times or till the water is not cloudy anymore.
  • Soak in enough water for 4-5 hours. Water should be 2-3 inches above the dal.
  • After the soaking time, rub the dal between your fingers, so most of the skin will come off.
  • Keep rubbing and massaging till 70% of the skin is came off the dal.
  • Now drain the water and skin will float on top, remove that too.
  • You can see now that very few dal has skin.
  • Take drained dal in a grinder jar. Add green chilies, ginger, and cilantro. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water only.
  • Grind it into a thick, coarse paste.
  • Do not add too much water because we need a really thick batter.
  • Remove the batter in a bowl, add salt and hing.
  • Mix and stir vigorously so the batter becomes light and fluffy. This makes light and spongy dal vada without adding any baking soda.
  • While you are stirring the batter, heat the oil for deep frying on medium heat. Once hot add a spoonful of batter by using a large spoon or your hand.
  • Keep moving and frying till they are crispy and golden brown from all the sides. Remove it to a paper towel-lined plate and fry similarly rest of them.
  • In the end, fry green chilies into the hot oil. And serve piping hot vada with sliced onions and fried chili.

For a variation :

  • you can add 2-3 cloves of garlic while grinding the dal.
