Anuja, Hetal : Try a bit of sugar in your yoghurt and some pomegranate for the garnish..

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@reetamakhija

[renurock]

[aarushireddy]

i make dahi vada ,but did not knew that it freezes well.....how to deforst the vada's?please let me know am having guest for the new year party...and i saw your video in the right time...thanks in advance

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aarushireddy : It freezes beautifully! To defrost, defrost in the fridge or on the counter-top. Once fully defrosted and ready to use, place them in very hot, salted water, allow them to soak for 5 min. Take them out, squeeze the water (be careful not to burn your hands) and place them in the dish. Pour seasoned yogurt and allow them to chill before serving.

[sweetnspicy52]

They look amazing.

I`ll make them tomorrow for guests for Eid!!

[838killer]

I JUST LEARNT HOW TO MAKE DAHI WADA !!

how cool is that !!! ::)))))

thanx a lot !!

[Ritulively]

It is not Dahi vada

It is Medu vada.

Dahi vada doesn't have Hole in between.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@Ritulively

Adding a whole just helps the vada to cook quickly and evenly.

[srizualemgr]

thnku guys ^^

[radhikasinha007]

thank u ......i love ur every recipe...i always try the same......

[mituvaswani]

Usually when I make dahi vada my own style, the vada's turn out hard and the taste does not sink into them; so therefore I followed your recipe...and the vada's are not as hard as mine used to turn out, but they were still not as soft as they should be and the taste had not sunk in, do you think i should add a pinch of baking soda? or any other tips you'll can provide me with maybe?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mituvaswani

We have never had to use baking soda. Usually, if you beat the batter with your hands until it is light and fluffy, the vadas come out soft. Also, the soaking in water part also helps them become soft.

[marinacrazy83]

idli and samar bred an jam anuja and hath good compination god bless u all

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@marinacrazy83

You're so sweet. Thank you!

[ilaansh1]

to make a hole in wada one easy method take small bowl put a wet cloth on it put some batter make hands wet and make hole it is very easy to make hole and fast too

[NXJESSE]

Also i forgot to say that the daal shouldnt be coarse but it should grinded as a fine paste.

making your Daal coarse will only cause it to become hard , whereas if you grind the daal where it will become a fine paste it will make it soft and spongy which is how dahi vada should be.

[NXJESSE]

This is not the recipe for dahi vada , this is actually the recipe for MENDU VADA and it should be eaten with sambar and it is a south indian dish.

DAHI VADA is made with urad daal AND mung daal and dosen't have a hole in the middle. It should be round and flat.

[kalasingabaya]

@peacelily.........you can use a flat bottom Wok

[mahi175]

wow...

[peacelily2025]

Hetal, Anuja, Great recipe! Loved it as I do always all your other recipes. Where can I find the particular vessel in which you fried the vadas? I live in Tampa, Fl and there are quite a few good Indian grocery stores, but I need a specific name for the kind of vessel you have used to do some research before I find the place where I can buy this. Thanks!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@peacelily2025 : It is called a frying pan and unfortunately, there is no name on it. I bought it at an Indian grocery store about 15 years ago :(

Sorry, that's all the help I can be... :(

[54sairam]

if you soak the wadas in luke warm water, it makes the wadas softer. you can squeez out the water and keep them ready a day before in the fridge, add yogurt on the day you want to serve

[xXxFawaxXx]

iv added channas potatoes cucumbers tomatoes and onions like you do in normal chaat...and dhai vada tastes amazingg =)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@xXxFawaxXx

great idea!!

[janaksinh1]

thank

[tooba1980]

Can we just use urad daal powder instead of whole urad daal? so that way we can skip the step of grinding?

[eschauhan]

you both are excellent demonstrators.. tell all pros and cons one can face while cooking the recipe..  great job

[amitisalmasi]

amezing demonstraion guys thanx alot, but I have a Question can I add chana nakhod to that since I was one time in India and I belive I ate it with chanh as well. plz let me know thanx and best of luck.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We have never had it with chana but if you try it out, we'd love to hear your feedback. Maybe some of our other viewers can answer.

[pindi2009]

this means, we dont have to cook the daal before grinding??

thanks, i will absolutly try this out ....

[ShowMeTheCurry]

No, the daal is raw and gets cooked while frying.

[DanaDenali]

Your videos are very easy to follow; nothing looks too daunting to make (and it all looks delicious!). Thanks

Thnx for all the vegetarian stuff too ~Dana

[morningnight252007]

Mouth watering dish and good presentation,thanks for your recipe....

[kennybloom]

ammm looks yummy

and easy to cook

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Yes, you have to serve it chilled or at least room temperature. Since it has a yogurt sauce, it cannot be heated.

[hindusoldier4life]

Just used the video to make some, tasted great, nice clear instructions - thanks!

[DesiChachi]

hie.. while i am new to cooking, your videos are really helpful.. i like sweet dahi vadas. can u tell me which steps specified above need to be skipped to make it sweet..

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Some people make a sweet/savory version. You can just add sugar to the yogurt and leave everything else as is.

[mainur4259]

Hi Pray for me ,me and my wife are trying it for the first time with the help of this video.

[desigirlmaine]

what's the other name for URAD dal? because i cant figure it out .....

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Black gram or Split black gram

[bhavni]

Hi there, I am newly married girl and

I am due to take some close family members on a picnic and I was wondering if you could recommend a variety of savouries/ food I should make that won't be too dry or soggy but very filling.

-P.S. I think your show should be on TV. Its absolutely brilliant

[ihkar]

tip: add a couple of spoons of yogurt to the water beore dipping the vadas to get tastier 'dahi vadas'

[Manjulasbiggestfan]

There is one more trick! Whip the dough for a while to airate. The vadas with therefore be light and fluffier!

[Manjulasbiggestfan]

Hello Ladies, I want you to know that I am now totally addicted to your videos. This one for dahi vada is incredible. I change one thing though. I mix all the dahi with tamarind/hari chutney and all spice and soak the vada in that. It turns out AMAZING and I cant stop eating it. Its a really fast lunch or snack and simply YUMMI. Keep them coming and I will keep watching and cooking. I am a Gauri with a Sikh who loves to eat. So, thanks a ton for keeping our relationship going!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thanks! We appreciate the kind words.

[djmanuel2005]

How do u make mint and tamarind chutney???That was a really good video ...thanks

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Please visit our website for the detailed recipe and video for both tamarind and mint chutneys (under the "Pickles and Chutneys" tab).

[djmanuel2005]

u were telling abt freezing the vadas to use later...so when should i soak them right after frying them or later on once i take out from freezer?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

After you take them out of the freezer and defrost they come to room temp.

[komsuresh]

Hi.. Thanks a ton for the recipe.. Am going to make it now and shall keep u posted on the outcome. Your instructions and recipe are simple to follow. Good job... Cheers..

[djmanuel2005]

i was asking when should i do the soaking procedure (soaking vadas in water after frying them)if i chose to freeze vadas

[yoursnilu]

would you please show how to make 'Ragda Patties' for a nice wintery evening. , its a chaat i love..please ..thank you.

[yoursnilu]

awesome, i love dahi wada...i put some sugar in the yogurt...it tastes gr8 too.
