Ingredients
- 1 cup Urad Dal (split black lentils)

- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds

- Add salt, baking powder, and cumin seeds to the lentil paste and mix well.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the lentil mixture into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain the fried vadas on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- To prepare the yogurt sauce, whisk the plain yogurt until smooth. Add salt, sugar, roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, and chaat masala to the yogurt and mix well.
- To assemble the dish, take some warm water in a bowl and add the fried vadas to it. Let the vadas soak in the water for 2-3 minutes.
- Take out the soaked vadas from the water and gently squeeze out the excess water. Arrange the vadas on a serving dish.
- Pour the spiced yogurt sauce over the vadas, making sure they are all coated well.
- Drizzle tamarind chutney and mint chutney over the yogurt-coated vadas.
- Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves and chopped onions over the vadas.
- Finally, sprinkle sev over the top of the vadas.
