2 Tablespoon Tamarind Chutney2 Tablespoon Green Chutney2 Tablespoon Pomegranate SeedsFresh CorianderOil

Rinse 1 cup of urad dal thoroughly, then soak it in water for 6 hours. Drain and blend into a thick, smooth batter. 

Add salt, ginger, green chilli, and cumin seeds to the batter, mix well, and beat until fluffy, then heat oil in a pan to fry the vadas.

Shape the batter into small balls and gently drop them into hot oil, frying until golden brown, then place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Soak fried vadas in warm water for 10-15 minutes, then gently squeeze out excess water to make them soft and set aside.

Mix yoghurt with salt, sugar, and black salt, then pour over the vadas and sprinkle with roasted cumin powder, red chilli powder, and chaat masala.

Garnish with coriander and pomegranate, then refrigerate and serve chilled.
