I am very keen to try your recipes !
I have bought some urad dal but my blended will not grind it properly
Probably not powerful enough
I would love to buy a quality wet grinder, but they are so expensive (£130 upwards)
Are you aware of cheaper ones for sale online anywhere that would do the job?
Also, could I use urad dahl flour instead of urad lentils in these recipes?
Thank you
Ruth
Response: Yes Ruth, you can use urad dal flour instead of urad dal in this recipe. For a cheaper blender, buy any Indian style mixer grinder, it works best to make chutneys, masalas and batter.

Tip for step 5. To check if the batter is light or not, drop batter in water and if it floats you are done mixing it.
Response: Thank you Arati for sharing the helpful tip.

Can I store the fried vade in fridge and then dip them in warm water before using? Actually, I will be traveling and I want to take my mom's vade along with me. Can you suggest best option.
Response: Yes, you can do that. Store the vada in refrigerator and then dip them in warm water (use little more hot water than warm water as the vada are cool) before using.

Once ground can the dhal mixture be stored in the fridge and used the next day?
Response: Hi Meera, you can store the dal mixture in refrigerator. Before making the vada, bring the batter at room temperature and beat it with your hand for 4-5 minutes.

I tried the dahi vada. It was awesome. Please post more recipes for breakfast and evening snacks items. This is the 1st time I made it and it tasted just like the one available in the restaurants or sweet shops. I am very excited to try new recipes now. Thanks in advance.
Response: Hi Debbie, thanks for trying the recipe. We will definitely try to post more recipes for breakfast and snacks.

Hi, I have tried most of dishes from your website. I have one question that if I cannot soak dal for 6 hours as I want to do it on emergency basis so shall I soak dal in lukewarm water for 2 to 3 hours?
Response: Hi Suchita, food prepared from urad dal is heavy and so if you soak the dal for around 5-6 hours, it will be easy to digest. If you are in hurry, you can soak the dal for 3 hours in lukewarm water (not hot) or use the urad dal flour (soak it for around 2-hours) also.

I am a big fan of dahi wada. When I was little and my parents took me out to a restaurant, I would always order dahi wada. But home made is SO superior!
I love your version.
