Steps:
- Wash urad dal a few times and soak for at least 4 to 6 hours. Also chill half cup water in the fridge for blending the dal.
- Pour 1 cup water to a pot and heat it. Next put in tamarind, jaggery and dates if using. Simmer all these for 4 to 5 mins until the tamarind turns soft and completely mushy.
- Add red chili powder, salt, cumin powder, fennel powder, dry ginger powder and coriander powder or garam masala. Mix well and boil this for 2 minutes until the aroma of spices comes out. If the mixture becomes too thick, pour ¼ cup hot water.
- Taste this and add more jaggery & salt if desired. Cool & blend it. Pass through a sieve to a wide bowl. Optional - If you want you can temper this. Heat a teaspoon of oil or ghee. Add hing and then pour the tamarind chutney. Simmer for 2 to 3 mins until bubbling hot & thick. Cool this completely.
- Transfer this to a dry glass or ceramic jar. Store this in fridge and use up within 4 to 6 weeks.
- Add all the ingredients mentioned for green chutney to a blender jar and make a fine paste using very little water or as needed.
- You can also use little fried gram/ bhuna chana dal for binding. This avoids water separating from the solids in the chutney.
- Rinse dal a few times and drain the water completely. Add it to a blender jar with cumin, salt, green chili, ginger and hing.
- Then pour 2 tbsp chilled water and grind for 1 minute. Scrape the sides, repeat blending adding 1 tbsp water each time only as needed until the batter turns thick, fluffy and light. Avoid adding too much water as it makes the batter runny. We want a thick & fluffy batter here.
- When the batter is done, you will see it turns lighter in color as well in texture. This is the indication it is done. Also while blending make sure the batter does not become hot as it may impart a bitter taste to the vadas. Also vadas can become dense.
- Remove the batter to a bowl. Beat it well for 1 min in one direction with your hand or whisk to aerate the batter.
- Test if the consistency & texture is right, pour 1 cup water to a small bowl and drop ¼ tsp batter to the water. The batter has to float meaning it has aerated well else blend it for a little longer and then aerate again by beating.
- Add cashews to the batter if using & mix well.
- Prepare a bowl with 2 to 3 cups water and ½ teaspoon salt. Keep this aside on the kitchen counter.
- Pour oil to a kadai and heat it on a medium flame. The oil has to be hot enough but not smoking hot. To check the right temperature, drop a small portion of batter to the oil, it has to rise without the batter turning brown.
- Grease your fingers or tablespoon or a fruit scooper. Take small portions of the batter and gently drop into the oil.
- Let them fry on a medium heat for 3 minutes and then stir them. Continue to fry until golden and crisp. Remove to a steel colander or plate.
- Immediately drop the hot fried vadas to the bowl of water. Rest them for 15 to 20 mins, rotating them with a spoon in between. Timing may vary depending on the size of the vadas.
- While these rest fry the next batch of vadas. Repeat the same process of soaking them in water.
- Add 2½ cups yogurt, a tbsp of powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon salt to a large wide bowl (big enough to hold all your vadas). Beat well with a whisk until smooth. It should not be too thick like greek yogurt and not very runny. Taste test and adjust salt.
- Gently press down the vadas in between spatulas or your palms one after the other to remove most of the water. Drop these to the bowl of yogurt & ensure all of the vadas are dunked in the yogurt well.
- Cover this and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This is when the dahi vadas soak up a bit of yogurt and flavor.
- They will be softer by 2 hours. If you like more yogurt, then whisk another half cup yogurt with sugar and salt. Pour that as well. Transfer the dahi vadas to serving tray or plates.
- Top with a generous amounts of green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney.
- Sprinkle cumin powder, chaat masala, black salt and red chili powder. Garnish with coriander leaves. Adjust the quantity of chutneys, chaat masala, cumin powder and red chili powder to suit your taste.
- Serve dahi vada immediately after you sprinkle the spice powders.

Steps:
- Soak tamarind in water overnight or for 4 to 5 hours in a small bowl or pan.
- With your hands, squeeze the pulp from the tamarind in the same bowl or pan. Strain the pulp and set aside.
- Heat oil in a small pan. Lower the heat and add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
- Add ginger powder, red chili powder, asafoetida.
- Stir and add the strained tamarind pulp. Cook for 2 to 3 mins.
- Add the jaggery and salt and simmer for 4 to 5 mins more on low to medium-low heat. The mixture would thicken. Let the tamarind chutney mixture cool.
- When cooled, store the tamarind chutney in an air-tight dry jar or container.
- Blend or grind all the ingredients mentioned under the green chutney list with water.
- Remove and set aside in a small bowl.
- First pick and then rinse the lentils for 3 to 4 times in water.
- Soak the lentils in enough water overnight or for 4 to 5 hours.
- Drain all the water and add the lentils in a blender or mixer-grinder.
- Add chopped green chilies, chopped ginger, cumin seeds, asafoetida and salt.
- Add water in parts and grind to a smooth thick or medium-thick flowing batter.
- Take the ground batter in a bowl. Stir the batter briskly for a couple of minutes. This aerates the batter making it more light and fluffy.
- Add the chopped raisins and cashews. Combine well and set aside.
- Heat a kadai or pan with oil for deep frying.
- When the oil becomes medium hot, add spoonfuls of the batter in the oil.
- Don't be in a hurry to turn them.
- When you see the vada becoming pale golden from the base and sides, you can turn them.
- Fry the vada until they become golden and crisp. Place on paper towels.
- In another bowl take water. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes and while the vada are still hot, place the vada in the water. Soak for 12 to 15 minutes.
- The vada will release some of the oil and absorb water increasing a bit in size with a color change.
- Take each vada and flatten and press between your palms to remove the water.
- Place these vada in a serving bowl or tray.
- Whisk curd (yogurt) until smooth. Pour the curd over the vada evenly all over covering them.
- Top with the green chutney and tamarind chutney as needed.
- Sprinkle a few pinches of red chili powder or cayenne, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala and black salt.
- Garnish with pomegranate arils and coriander leaves.
- Serve dahi vada straightway. Or you can refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
- Wrap the dish in plastic cling wrap or transfer to a container with a lid, and keep leftover dahi vada in the refrigerator overnight or for a day only. Any longer and the taste of the yogurt changes.
- The lentil dumplings can be made in advance and frozen before assembling the complete dish. Make the fritters per the recipe instructions, soak in water, and thoroughly squeeze out the water.
- Then place in an airtight container and keep in the freezer for up to 1 to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge, and then continue making the complete dahi vada recipe.
