Dear Manjula, thanks for all your wonderful recipes, i am a huge fan of indian cuisine and you have taught me so much, i am very grateful.

I am having lots of trouble with some of the fried recipes tho, this one, the Dahi Vada, as well as the Chola tikki.

The thing is when i fry them , i get this oily very ugly consistency and they fall apart pretty easily, nothing like yours, also when i soak in water the Dahi Vada they completely break apart and get ruined

Any tips would be appreciated

@Irealvision

Consistency of the batter should be like soft dough not like a batter.

What is asafetida (hing)? Can something else be substituted or can it just be left out? Anyone who knows, please answer. I would like to make these tomorrow. Thanks!

[Manjulaskitchen]

@junkateria You can do without asafetida

Fantastic recipe. Tried exactly as described in recipe. Came out to be awesome. Outside is very crunchy and inside soft. A treat to the tongue.

Hi Manjula - love your videos thanks for posting and sharing how to cook Indian style. But can you help me out? I went to an Indian store to get some of the ingredients for this and the guy there told me to get Pankora masala MDH spice and use it to flavor the minar besan gram flour he sold me? Would this work, is it still considered pankora?

thanks

You are so sweet and so wonderful. Thank you for your delicious recipe

[ThePariskat]

They sure do look awesone!

[Irealvision]

@Manjulaskitchen yes, its like a dough not a batter, the recipe for Dahi Vada seems to be more airy but i get very similar results when fried, have tried deep fry and shallow as well, and they all lack proper consistency and break apart, both are extremely oily and dont hold in form... :(

I have to try this recipe> I have always used a premix dal vada. They are great but this seems like it would be less expensive and homemade! Ty Manjula. Dal Vadas are on of my favorite!

[bujjidi]

I Love all your recipes and i even try them they came out very well. Even my kids like your recipes.thanks a lot for the great recipes.

If you had to add water in the end, why cannot e add water while preparing the moong daal paste?
