Main Ingredients 

These are main ingredients used – Moong dal flour (81%), Refined wheat flour, Bakery shortening (Palm oil, sesame oil, and antioxidant (BHA)), Raising agent (Sodium bicarbonate and Citric acid), Green chilli powder, Cumin seeds powder, Ginger powder, and Turmeric.

Review Process 

We made the batter by combining 100 gm of Vada mix and 100 ml of water. Then we let the batter sit for 10 minutes. 

After 10 minutes, the vadas were deep-fried in hot oil over low heat until golden brown. 

Furthermore, we did not season the batter with salt or other ingredients.  

We served fried chilies and ketchup alongside the vadas during our taste test.

Mishry’s Findings 

Preparation Process 

Making the batter is as simple as 1, 2, 3. All you have to do is add water, mix thoroughly, and it is ready.  We recommend adding the water gradually and not all at once to avoid lumps.

The batter has a yellow color hue. The frying process was smooth too as they did not absorb excess oil. 

Taste Test 

The fragrance of moong dal was quite noticeable and appealing. These vadas are well-flavored and don’t require any additional seasoning like salt, pepper, etc. The green chilies add a refreshing touch to this moong dal-dominant vada. They are not overly spicy, but those who prefer spicier food can add more chilies to the batter. For an even tastier experience, pair them with some fresh dhaniya-pudina chutney.

Texture 

Crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy vadas on the inside. The overall mouthfeel is typical of a moong dal vada – slightly grainy.
