STEPS.

Step 1 

Wash the urad dal. Soak it in water overnight. Grind it finely along with a little ginger and one green chilly the next day. Mix in a pinch of salt in the batter, dry coconut flakes, raisin and a pinch of cumin. Make a thick batter of it.

Step 2 

Heat a kadhai with enough oil. Now to fry the vadas apply little oil on your palm and take a dollop of the batter on the palm and make a hole in the middle of it. Now lift the vada from the palm and when oil is adequately hot drop it slowly in the oil. Do the same process to make all other vadas. Fry them and when the vadas become golden take them out on a tissue paper.

Step 3 

Soak the vadas in cold water and leave it for five minutes. If the bhallas are harder soak them in lukewarm water.When you want to serve them squeeze the excess water out of them.

Step 4

Take the yoghurt in a bowl. Add a little bit of salt and if it is sour then add a pinch of sugar-free or sugar to it. Mix again.

Now we will make our sweet and green chutneys. The recipe is as such —
