Dahi Vada is a deep fried spongy lentil dumplings soaked in flavored yogurt & sprinkled with spices. It is a delicious starter to a meal.
Few years back, on my visit to India my sister complained why does she gets hard center in the Dahi Vada though she follows the same procedure & method. I smiled & told her, I had gone through this phase too. My perfect spongy soft badas started coming hard with ball like center.
In India, I never had to worry but prepare the batter, mix, fry and soak in the curd and they are ready to eat. But after coming to Dubai, I don’t know what happened and vadas started hardening in the center. Maybe a climate change or there is something wrong with urad dal I use. I also asked my sis in law whether she is having the same issue or is it me. Whether I was doing something wrong. But no we were following the same method & procedure.
