Every State in India boasts of their own cuisine. Thanks to the Net, however, most have access to it and there seems to be a conglomeration of dishes in every kitchen all over India and my kitchen is no exception. ‘Dahi vada’ is supposed to be a North Indian dish but it is introduced in every kitichen in India.It has taken a special place in my kitchen as well as it is not only tasty but the ingredients used are nourishing and it is easy to make.
Indian cuisine which is known for its spicy taste, has created waves in foreign countries as well. I had friend from the UK who mentioned the names of few dishes that she would want to taste and surprisingly she did not mind chillies being added. In fact she had more chillies than I could tolerate. No more bland food for foreigners.
There is yet another person I know who tries out every kind of ‘Dosa’ in his English kitchen. I had written a post somewhere and he made his appearance and corrected me here and there. How right he was.
Indian dishes are creating waves all over the world.
I prepared ‘Dahi vada’ this morning a snack that could also be taken at breakfast time. This is easy to make at the same it is nutritious and tasty.
It has curds (yoghurt), black gram dhal ground to a fine paste (with salt to taste) after it is soaked for 12 hours in water. The water needs to be drained out.
The paste is formed into balls and deep fried and cooled. In a dish the curd is beaten up to which sugar and salt is added. The cooled ‘wadas’ are soaked in the curds and garnished with red chilli powder and chopped coriander leaves. Some prefer soaking the wadas in cold water, squeezing them out and then placing them in curds.

Dahi vada is one of my favorites. My mom cooks dahi vada especially on Diwali.
Dahi wada have become a household name all over India and in fact even foreigners have started liking it.
My wife is an expert on this particular dish. She use both lentils Moong and Urad for preparing Dahi Vada. My favorite is Moong though.
@suny I have not tried mung. Should taste good. I will try it out. thanks. The other day I tried with leftover bread. I soaked it in water and made balls after squeezing out the water.
That's a unique snack. Unfortunately, I haven't seen in actual and taste it. I wish there is an Indian resto here in my city. I love to try this.
@Shavkat I am sure any Indian restaurant will have it. It is tasty and nutritious too.
