Dahi Bhalle (Vada)

Most of my cooking have been very simple, this is one among them. I have always thought that making Dahi Bhalle was difficult and loads of work, but found the other way around much easier and at the end it gives u a WOW exp. So lets take off quickly towards the making of this lovely dish.

Method:

Drain off excess water the following day. Grind dal to a smooth paste.
Add salt, red chilli powder, asafoetida , ginger, black pepper , green chille, into the batter.
Heat sufficient oil in a kadai. Drop batter in tablespoonfuls in it and fry until light golden.
