Instant Dahi vada

Instant Dahi Vada

Instant Dahi Vada

This Instant Dahi Vada recipe does not need any soaking or grinding. All you need is just some flours and leftover bread slices, which are easily available in your pantry. Just whip up all together, fry it, dunk it in yogurt, garnish with your favorite chutneys and species. This taste just like regular dahi vada; super soft, spongy and delicious.

Instant Dahi vada is quicker than authentic Dahi-Vada, but it tastes alike and yummy. It’s also easy to make with pantry staple ingredients. Actually, I was craving today for Dahi-Vada, but I forgot to soak lentils. So, it led to me thought about Instant Dahi Vada.

In North India, it’s prepared by soaked lentil batter, and then deep fried. Normally, these fried Vadas (small balls) served in thick dahi mixture with chaat toppings like chutneys and chaat spices. But, in South India, vadas make in the doughnut shape using same kind of thick batter, served in thin yogurt and top with tempered mustard seeds, split black gram and curry leaves instead of chutneys. I have been in both places and tested both versions. My personal favorite is North Indian style Dahi Vada, so I’m sharing the North Indian style Dahi Vada today, but the instant way.

Instant Dahi Vada

Ingredients:

• ½ cup Moong Dal Flour
• ½ cup Urad Dal Flour
• 3-4 slices of Bread
• 1 tbsp Suji/Semolina
• Oil to fry
• 1 tsp Ginger Paste
• 1 tsp Green Chili Paste
• Salt
• ¼ tsp Baking Soda

Garnish
• 1½ cup Yogurt
• Salt
• ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
• ½ tsp Cumin Powder
• Tamarind Chutney
• 1 tsp Sugar (Opt.)

Method:

1. Remove sides (brown parts) of bread and soak in the water for 2 minutes, squeeze all the water from the bread and mash in the bowl.
2. Now add both flour, suji and required water to make thick batter like regular dahi-vada batter.
3. Add salt, ginger-green chili paste, pinch of soda and mix it well. Whisk the batter until fluffy and keep aside.
4. Heat the oil in a deep pan. Once oil is hot enough for frying; drop a small ball in oil using spoon and fry vadas in small batches, until golden all around.
5. After you have made all the vadas, place them in lukewarm water or buttermilk and soak for about 5-6 minutes.
6. Lightly squeeze vadas to remove the water and set aside, being careful not to break the vadas.

Achari Dahi Bhindi ‘Achari’ means pickling whi Achari Dahi Bhindi
‘Achari’ means pickling which is made using a mix of spices. So, we are using pickle masala in this recipe but very less which making this dish flavorful and unique.
There are of course regional variations of Achari dishes. And most popular vegetables are cauliflower, potatoes, okras, etc… yogurt and tomatoes are being added to Achari Sabji which give a double-tangy flavor to curry. It is also perked up with a wide assortment of seeds and spice powders, which give it a super peppy flavor and aroma too.
