Dabak Vadi

Some recipes are so nice, the moment you see them, you want to try them out. This was one of them. 

5 tbsp besan

3 cups sour buttermilk 

1/2 tsp haldi powder

1 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp mustard seeds

A pinch of hing

1 tbdp crushed garlic 

1 green chilli

1/4 cup water

1 tsp oil

1 sprig curry leaves

Salt to taste 

Method:

Make a thick almost dough like batter by mixing besan, salt, 1/4 tsp haldi and 1/2 tsp red chilli powder. 

Heat oil, splutter mustard seeds, add curry leaves, green chilli, garlic and hing and sauté for a minute. 

Add red chilli powder and haldi powder. Add buttermilk and salt. Mix well, bring to a boil. 

Using a slotted spoon, put a blob of besan batter on it and rub over it with the other hand, so that the batter falls into the boiling butter milk in the form of boondis. Keep repeating this process till all the batter is finished.

Keep stirring the buttermilk alongwith the dabak wadis till it thickens. 

Serve hot with rotis.
