For the Vada’s
Clean, wash and soak the moong dal in enough water in a deep bowl for 3 to 4 hours.
Drain, add the green chilies and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste, using approx. 1/2 cup of water.
Transfer the paste into a bowl, add the asafetida and salt and mix well.
Sprinkle the fruit salt and 1 tbsp of water over it. When the bubbles form, mix gently.
Grease a non-stick tava (griddle) using ¼ tsp of oil.
Pour ladlesful of the batter on it to make 3 to 4 Vada’s at a time.
Cover with a lid and cook on a slow flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
Turn upside down, cover again and cook on a slow flame using ⅛ tsp of oil for 2 to 3 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining mixture to make more Vada’s.
Soak them in enough water in a bowl for 2 minutes. Thereafter, squeeze out the water and keep aside.
For the Curds
Combine the curds and salt in a bowl and mix well using a whisk.
Heat the oil in a small non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add this tempering to the whisked curds and mix well.
Divide the mixture onto 4 equal portions and keep aside.
How to proceed
Place two Vada’s on a serving plate and spread a portion of the curds mixture evenly over the Vada’s.
Sprinkle ¼ tsp of cumin seeds powder and ½ tsp of chili powder over it.
