Easy Tips To Make Soft And Spongy Vadas 

By Tanisha Salwan

Dahi vada is one of the most loved street foods in India. There is no one who can say no to a bowl of dahi vada.  Eating dahi vada may be easy but making the perfect vadas is not at all easy. But we have some tips for you!

Soaking Perfectly 

It is essential to soak urad dal for vadas for at least 4 to 5 hours. It will make the vadas moister. 

Whipping Is The Key 

For smooth vadas, whipping the vada batter is essential. The more you whip, the fluffier vadas will become.  

Baking Soda For Rise 

When you add baking soda to the vada batter, the vadas rise properly when fried. 

Fry On Low Flame 

It is recommended that vadas should be fried on low to medium flame so that they can cook properly from inside. 

Salt Water 

After the vadas are fried, they should be soaked into cold water with salt. Salt adds enhanced flavour to the vada. 

No to Squeezing

Make sure you don’t squeeze out the entire water from the vadas as water helps in keeping the vadas soft and moist.
