1. Soak moong dal(with skin) washed, soaked for 3 hours and ground to a fine paste adding very little water. Combine the ground moong dal paste with grated ginger, chopped green chillis and salt.
2. Pre-heat oil in a deep frying vessel, place a plastic sheet in your palm and place a little batter and shape into a vada (like a doughnut) or like a big lemon sized ball and drop slowly into the hot oil. Deep fry on medium heat for sometime and then fry on high heat till golden brown. Finish making vadas with the rest of the remaining batter. Keep them aside.
3. Beat curds well till frothy (there shouldn’t be any lumps). In a pan add 1 Tbsp of oil and crackle the "Tamper" ingredients. Add this to curds and mix well.
4. Place the vadas in a serving bowl (as shown in the picture) and pour the curd mixture evenly all over the vadas, covering them completely.

Tips :

1. Chill the vadas for sometime before serving. At the time of serving, take 2-3 vadas and place them in a serving plate and sprinkle some chaat powder.
