FAQ

A perfect dahi vada recipe starts with tender and puffy homemade fried lentil fritters that are soaked in water, drained, and then covered in tangy whipped yogurt. These fluffy fritters are traditionally made with the ivory colored skinned urad dal, also known as black gram or urad bean or matpe bean.
Simply deep-fry or air-fry them until golden brown, and serve with coconut chutney and sambar for a truly satisfying experience. Deep Frozen Mendu Vada brings the authentic flavors of South India to your home with ease and convenience.
It is rich in fibre, improves digestion, protects the heart, boosts energy, improves bone health, strengthens the nervous system, helps manage diabetes, and is excellent for hair and skin. Another important ingredient of the recipe is curd or yoghurt which is also known for its health benefits since ages!
Dahi Vada is generally made with only urad dal. While Dahi Bhalla has some moong lentils included to make the vada batter. Some versions of dahi bhalla also have some boiled chickpeas added to it, while serving.
If the oil is not hot enough or if the urad dal is over soaked, vada can absorb lot of oil. Also if the lentils are ground too long in a wet grinder, the batter can become feather light and vadas can soak up a lot of oil. So ensure you don't oversoak the lentils, grind them just until light and fry the vada in hot oil.
