About Lentil balls soaked in yogurt
Lentil Balls Soaked in Yogurt, known as "Dahi Vada" in Indian cuisine, is a flavorful dish made from deep-fried lentil-based fritters that are soaked in tangy, spiced yogurt. The lentil batter—typically prepared using protein-rich ingredients like split black gram (urad dal) and yellow lentils (moong dal)—is seasoned with spices before being fried to golden perfection. Once soaked, the fritters become soft and absorb the creamy yogurt, which is often garnished with tamarind chutney, mint chutney, roasted cumin, and fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor. While the dish offers a good source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, it is traditionally deep-fried, which may increase its fat content. However, lighter versions prepared by steaming or baking the lentil balls are possible. This vegetarian classic balances indulgence with nourishment, making it a beloved appetizer or snack with global appeal.
