*******************
Vadda
mix the grams & soak for 2hrs, then grind them and make a batter. take some oil in a pan and heat it, now form the batter into medium sized balls flat on the top & bottom , deep fry these balls put these aside in a tissue paper
People who would like to eat it as a sweet snack add some sugar to the curd before taking it into the tadka process , the ratio of sugar to be added depends on the taste of the people who are goning to eat it.
Tadka
The tadka is a process which is a part of most of the Indian cuisines, its basically the frying of all the spices in oil to bring all the spicy flavor together , later when this oily mixture is added to the ingredients the spicy flavor spread among them .
Take abt 1 tea spoon of oil, add cumin and mustard seeds , curry leaves, salt to taste when these start to splatter add the curd add some water to make the curd semi liquid , let it cool, the tadka process ends here.
Now take the vadda's and soak them in water & instantly remove them also press them slightly to remove the water , this will remove the excess the oil (as according to physics oil is lighter than water hence it will come out of the vadda to make space for the water) , it will also make the vadda softer & crispier , also upon pressing it ,it removes the excess water , making space for air to go in and inflate the vadda.
now take a bowl put the vadda's into it and pour curd,coriander,dhaniya powder,red chili powder, black salt to taste from above , toss it a few times so that all the ingredients gel well , then let it rest for some time so that all the spices will go into the vadda and make it even more tasty .After that garnish it with coriander leaves and serve.
