Procedure

Rinse half a cup of urad dal and 4 teaspoons of moong dal in water several times. Then soak the legumes for at least 4 to 5 hours, or overnight.

Add the water in small amounts until the dough is smooth and fluffy.

The batter should not feel gritty when touched. You can add less or more water depending on the grade of the lentils and the capacity volume of the grinder. If you add too much water, the vadas will become soggy.

Take a batter in a bowl and add salt. Stir the batter briskly. Heat the oil in a kadai or skillet for deep frying. You can use any flavourless oil. When the oil is medium hot, drop a small quantity of batter into it. It should come to the surface steadily and rapidly. This indicates that the temperature is appropriate for frying.

Too little oil will make the vada mushy, while too much will brown them quickly from the outside. Hence add a neutral quantity of the oil. Turn the flame down when the vada becomes pale brown. Place the bhallas on tissue paper to drain the extra oil.

Add these in bhallas in a pan with yogurt. Mix them well. Top up with some boiled potatoes, salt, black pepper, red chili powder, and chickpeas. And you are good to go.
