into smooth paste without water or if
necessary then very little water. The paste
should be coarse and not fine.
Take out the paste in a bowl and then beat
the mixture for 10 - 15 minutes till the
mixture becomes fluffy. This will make the vadas soft.
Add salt, cumin seeds, ginger and baking
powder.
Heat oil in a pan for frying and drop small
balls of batter in the oil with the help of a
spoon. The flame should be medium. Do not put more than 8 - 9 balls.
Fry till golden brown. Then take them out
on kitchen paper.
In a bowl fill 2 cups of warm water with 1
tsp salt and put the vadas in it. Let them
soak for 1/2 hr.
Meanwhile prepare the dahi. For Dahi - Beat
the curd smooth and put in a bowl.
Keep in refrigerator for an hour to get chilled.
Before serving add salt, red chili powder,
sugar and roasted cumin powder to the dahi.
Serving - Squeeze out the vadas from the
water and in a deep dish arrange the wadas
and pour dahi over them.
Pour imli (tamarind) chutney and green
chutney.

chillies.
