Dahi Sprouted Greengram & Black Urad Vadas

Dunno whether you guys might be intrigued to see this mildly ugly black vadas submerged in tempered buttermilk,but they are truly addictive and quite irresistible vadas to enjoy simply as side dish with any sort of rice dishes,but we enjoyed those deep fried beauties as dahi vadas..Since there were some leftover sprouted moongs i simply combined with soaked black urad dals just to give a trial, but seriously they turns out absolutely prefect and crispy..Honestly when i served everyone at home,they dont even want to touch their plate with these black vadas,when i proposed them to have a spoon of this fritters with tempered curd, they thoroughly enjoyed having this dahi vadas and finished their plates very much quickly..Sending to my own event CWS-Moongbeans..


1cup Sprouted greengrams
1cup Black urad dal (soaked for two hours)
1cup Onions(finely chopped)
3nos Green chillies(chopped)
1tsp Fennel seeds (crushed)
Few Curry leaves(chopped)
Few Coriander leaves (chopped)
1tsp Ginger (chopped)
Salt as per taste
Oil for deepfrying

For Tempered Dahi:
2cups Buttermilk
1tsp Mustard seeds, urad dal
1tsp Grated ginger
Curry leaves
Few coriander leaves

Grind both urad dal and sprouted green grams without water,add the salt to the dals mixture,this help the dals to grind together well, now add the chopped onions, chopped green chillies, chopped ginger pieces, chopped curry leaves,crushed fennel seeds and chopped coriander leaves..mix everything well with your fingers..

Heat oil for deepfrying, take a small ball from the vada batter, drop gently one by one to the hot oil..deep fry the vadas until they turn brown, fry everything as small batches, drain the excess of oil with a paper towel..


Meanwhile let fry the mustard seeds, urad dal, grated ginger, curry leaves in hot oil and keep aside, beat the buttermilk and add the tempered spices and salt, mix well..take this tempered buttermilk in a shallow bowl and drop gently the fried vadas and add the coriander leaves and enjoy immediately..


You can serve this dahi vadas topped with any sort of chutney or with a dash of amchur powder..

Good idea of adding sprouted greengram with black urid dal. But addition of fennel is new. I usually wont add fennel for making vada. Is it for any specific reason priya?
