Instructions
- soak urad and moong daal overnight. In the morning, wash the dal again in fresh water and add them in a blender along with some asafoetida, green chilies and grind to make a thick coarse paste. Do not add excess water as we need the batter to be thick enough to get into the steamer. Collect the batter in a bowl and keep aside.
- Stir the mixture nicely to make it airy , i used my hands but you can use a spatula too, and then add fruit salt and mix it nicely and let it rest for 5 mins.
- Now heat water in your regular Idli or dhokla steamer and meanwhile grease your idli plates and keep aside. The batter will start rising, scoop a spoon of batter and place on the greased idli plates. Try to shape them as round dumplings.
- Put the idli plates in the steamer and cook for 5-8 minutes or till the tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
- Open the steamer and let take out the idli stand carefully and allow to rest for another 5-6 mins. Now carefully scoop out the steamed vadas and soak them in water for 5 mins.
- Meanwhile whisk yogurt and ad salt per taste. Line the vadas on a plate and pour thick yogurt all over. Sprinkle roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, chaat masala and fresh chopped coriander along with some pomegranate pearls.
- You can also add Mint chutney and tamarind chutney for some extra zing along with some sev. Serve warm or chilled as per choice.
- Note : You can add more flavors to your vadas by adding chopped onions, curry leaves, cumin etc.
