Ingredients
For the Vadas
Urad dal dhuli (black gram, skinned) - 250 grams
Oil - for frying
Salt - 3/4 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Ginger paste - 1 tbsp
Raisins - 15 to 20
Heeng (asafoetida) - 1/5 tsp

For Preparing Dahi Vada
Dahi (yoghurt) - 750 grams
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Red chilli powder, roasted jeera powder, black salt & chopped cilantro - for garnishing

Method
1. Soak the urad dal in water overnight. The next morning, strain out the water and grind the dal to make a slightly coarse, thick, batter. The consistency ought to be thick so that the batter holds shape when vadas are moulded from it. Rest batter for 3 hours after grinding.
2. Then add the garlic & ginger paste, raisins, salt & red chilli powder to it and mix thoroughly.
3. Heat oil in a kadhai/wok on medium heat and while it is heating take a little water in a bowl, add heeng to it & stir it in.
4. Take a piece of paper folded a few times and wet it with this water. Place some batter on this and shape it like a doughnut & with your finger make a hole in the centre
5. Invert it on your hand and drop it gently in the hot oil. Drop 1 or 2 more of such vadas and fry them till cooked & golden brown on both sides. Fry all vadas and keep them aside.
6. Fill a large bowl with water and soak these vadas in it for 20 minutes. Whisk the dahi lightly to make it smooth.
7. After 20 minutes remove the vadas one by one, squeeze out the water by pressing each between your palms firmly but taking care not to break them. Place them in another big bowl.
8. Sprinkle some black salt on the vadas then pour a good amount of dahi over them. 
9. Garnish with red chilli powder and roasted jeera powder. Chill in the fridge.
10. Serve chilled with meals or as a snack.
