CURD SAVOURY SNACK| MOSARU WADAY|VADE|DAHI VADA|
Mosaru vade/dahi vada is a popular snack from Karnataka. This is made using the soaked split black gram/urad dal/uddina bele by adding some regular herbs and spices.
It is slightly different from the dahi bhalla of North India, as the dahi bhalla is mainly done using split green gram/moong dal/hesaru bele, but sometimes also done by using split black gram. And the making & serving process are entirely different.
In southern parts of India, deep fried lentil dumplings are dunked in a whipped & tempered Yogurt and topped with grated carrot, coriander leaves, pomegranate seeds, khara boondi etc. Where as In northern parts, spiced and salted thick dahi is poured on it and for topping both green chutney and sweet chutneys are used.
