For us Odias, Dahi Vada (Dahibara (Odia: ଦହି ବରା) as we call it) goes the best with Aloo Dum. But I can have the vada without the curry as well.
Since childhood, I have always wondered how come my mother makes the vada with such perfection.
Even after trying n number of times, I have never made perfectly shaped vadas.
Then gradually I started consoling myself with a make-believe pretense that the shapes do not matter. The taste does.🤣🤣🤣 So, please forgive my distorted vada. 🤣🙏
Dahi Vada Recipe -
The recipe is quite easy.
Just dip the vada in Dahi (curd). The consistency of curd depends on you. I like the curd to be of running consistency so that after finishing the vada, I can drink the Dahi Pani (typical Odia things)🤣.
After dipping, add a tempering of mustard, dried red chilies, and curry leaves into the curd. Add roasted jeera powder. Mix everything properly, without breaking the vada.
Bas. Done. Enjoy Dahi Vada.
