Dahi vada is a type of chaat (snack) originating from the Indian subcontinent and popular throughout South Asia. It is prepared by soaking vadas.

When it comes to authentic street food, dahi Bhalla has always been one of my all-time favorite snacks. A bowl of this classic comfort food is guaranteed to brighten a gloomy day.

The people from the North usually call it Dahi Bhalla or Dahi Bhalle, whereas, in the Southern part of India, it is called Dahi vada.

This lip-smacking street food is loved and relished by children and adults equally. My family loves this snacks during festive season specially Holi.

Preparation

Rinse and soak the lentils for 6-7 hours or overnight.
Add the lentils to a food processor or blender, add 2 tablespoons water, and pulse into a fine paste. The batter should be thick and of dropping consistency.
Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl and season it with cumin seeds and salt. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, use an ice cream scoop and drop the Bhalla batter into the oil.
Fry the VADAS for about 7-8 minutes over medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they turn golden brown. Once cooked, remove them from the heat. Set them on a paper napkin to drain. Let them cool.
Add the cooled VADAS to a pan of hot water. Cover and let them soak for about 15-20 minutes, now remove them and squeeze for excess water.
Whisk chilled yogurt along with the spices. Pour yogurt into a deep dish. Add the VADAS to the yogurt. Cover the DAHI VADA with an extra layer of yogurt.
Just before serving, garnish with green chutney, tamarind chutney. SERVE COLD!
