Soak the Urad dal in enough water for about 4 hours. After that, transfer it into a grinding jar with 1/4 cup of water and grind it to a smooth paste. Add rest ingredients for vada and mix well.

Whisk the batter for 7-8 minutes to make it little fluffier.

Whisk the yogurt with 2 tablespoon of sugar.

Heat the oil in a pan / kadhai over medium heat. Once the oil is enough heated, pour batter into the oil measuring 1 tablespoon each. Fry the vadas till they are golden in colour. Take them out and keep them on a kitchen towel.

Now, for assembling the dahi vada, soak the vada in hot boiling water for few minutes. This helps in making them soft. Take vada out by squeezing the extra water with soft hands so that they don’t brake.

Assemble the vada in a bowl / plate. Pour whisked yogurt over them so that they are covered nicely.

Spread Mint coriander chutney and Date tamarind chutney over vada. Sprinkle chat masala and roasted cumin powder, and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
