Roasted cumin seeds (jeera) powder for sprinkling
Black salt for garnishing

For Garnishing

Method

Step 1

Combine urad dal, green chillies, ginger and salt and grind to a smooth paste using approx. ¼ cup of water. Keep the batter aside for a while.

Step 2

Heat oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep-fry 3-4 vadas at a time. Keep flipping and fry them thoroughly till they turn light golden brown in colour from all the sides.

Step 3

Drain on a napkin paper and keep aside.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine curd and sugar, mix well and keep the aside.

Step 5

Take enough water in a deep bowl and drop the vadas in. Let them soak in water for 10-15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the wadas from water and squeeze out all the excess water. Flatten it lightly between your palms.

Step 7

Arrange 3-4 vadas on a serving dish and top with sweetened curd.

Step 8

Sprinkle a little chilli powder, a tablespoon of tamarind dates chutney, a little cumin seeds powder and some black salt.
