This was my first attempt with moong dal as traditionally its prepared with Urad dal & the tip which I found useful to make light & fluffy vadas without soda is to continuously whisk the lentil batter for 3-4 mins & to test , drop some batter in a bowl full of water, the batter should float.

Its been a yr when it feels world has stopped & past few months were still ray of hope to realise everything is changing for better but no

This wave of corona is way more heart wrenching than the previous one.
On one hand,People are getting vaccinated & on the contrary, many front line workers who have already been vaccinated are still getting impacted .
Everything seems insane but the only way is to keep calm & carry on what we are doing .

This is something which I did on weekend to keep myself calm & it literally took me 25 mins to style(I would like to say)with my hands shivering as chutneys have flowy consistency.

So Take a chill pill, eat dahi vada dunked in chilled yoghurt topped up with spicy tangy dips & enjoy :)
