    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 c Urad dal
    1/4 c Green split mung dal
    2 Fresh green chiles; up to 3
    Salt; to taste
    Ghee; for deep frying
    6 c Plain yogurt
    2 tb Roasted cumin powder
    1 tb Chili powder

    MMMMM----------------------SAUCE, (OPTIONAL---------------------------
    1 tb Ghee
    1/2 ts Mustard ghee
    Sweet and sour sauce
    Curry leaves
    Tamarind ball (1")
    1 c Jaggery

    Wash the tamarind and soak it in 1/2 cup water. In the same water
    also soak jaggery. Let mixture stand 30 minutes then pour into
    strainer and extract the pulp with the help of the spoon.

    Soak both the dals overnight. Drain and grind to a fine paste in a
    blender, along with the chiles. Add a little water gradually to form
    a thick paste. Add salt and mix thoroughly. Set aside. In a bowl,
    place a handful of salt to 3 cups of water. Wet your palms with water
    and take small balls of paste, flattening them with fingers then
    placing them into hot ghee. Fry until golden brown. Drain them on
    paper towels. Soak cooked vadais in hot salt water mixture for 30
    minutes. When soft remove and squeeze out the water between your
    palms. Beat the yogurt and soak vadais in it. Sprinkle with cumin
    seed and chili powder and tamarind sauce as desired. Serve in
    individual dishes.
