Baked Dahi Badas Recipe
by Sujata Din
Image courtesy Archana’s kitchen
1/2 cup urad dal
1/4 cup red lentils
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups of yogurt
1-teaspoon cumin (freshly ground)
2 red chilies
1/2 cup, chopped coriander
3 tbsp tamarind chutney
Sea salt to taste
Soak the lentils overnight. Discard the water the lentils were soaked in and wash the lentils, then drain the water. Blend the mixed lentils in a food processor until smooth (you may need a few spoons of water if it’s too thick). Add the baking soda and ginger to this mixture.
You can either:
Steam using an idli maker. Lightly oil the idli dishes and spoon about 1 tablespoon of vada mixture in each dish. Steam the vadas for about 15 minutes.
To bake, lightly oil quiche or cup cake cases and spoon 1 tablespoon of vada mixture. Bake in a preheated 180˚C for 40 minutes.
Once the vadas are cooked let them cool. Then submerge vadas in warm water for about 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully squeeze the water out, taking care not to break the vadas.
In a large bowl mix the yogurt with the cumin, coriander, salt and chilies. Lay the vadas in a large flat bowl and pour yogurt mixture over. Garnish with coriander leaves and tamarind chutney and serve chilled. Serves 10
