Dahi bada is traditional north Indian snack food. It consists of lentil dumplings in a yoghurt sauce. This should be served chilled with tamarind chutney.
In order to make dahi bada you need
1/3 cup split mung dal
2/3 cup split urad dal
Oil to deep fry
Cumin seeds
Salt
Red chilly powder
Chopped coriander leaves
The two lentils should be soaked overnight in water. The next day blend to a fine paste with minimal water. Now take a fork and whip the mixture till it is light. Heat the oil and on medium flame deep fry the dumplings.
Now take a container of yoghurt. Add salt. Roast the cumin seeds to a light brown and grind the seeds coarsely.
Soak the dumplings in water for 10 minutes. Take out the dumplings and squeeze out the water. Now add the yoghurt to the serving dish. Add the dumplings. Sprinkle the cumin and red chilly powder on top. Make swirls of tamarind chutney in the dish and garnish lightly with chopped coriander.
