Instructions

Make dahi bade ki chaat

    Making Chena Vada

    • Wash and boil the potatoes. Since I boiled one potato, I microwaved the potato for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the size. If it is a small potato, then microwave for 2 to 3 minutes after marking on the top. Once done, soak it in water and peel off the skin. Mash it well.
    • Else you can pressure cook the potato.
    • Take the paneer in a bowl, if you just made it, it is easy to crumble it, else you can grate it depending on when you made the paneer.
    • Add the mashed potato to the paneer along with salt, grated ginger, cornflour.
    • Mix everything well, you can knead it to a soft dough.
    • Divide into small equal balls.
    • Heat a kadai with oil, deep fry the chena vada in batches.
    • Drain on a kitchen towel.

    Assembling the Paneer Dahi Vada

    • On the serving plate, place 3 to 4 vadas.
    • Pour sweet curds over it. Make sure the curd is well beaten and slightly sweet.
    • Next add Khajoor Imli Chutney, followed by Hara chutney.
    • Now sprinkle black salt, roasted cumin, and red chili powder over it.
    • Drizzle some sweet chutney and green chutney slightly over it.
    • Now once again sprinkle some black salt, roasted cumin, and red chili powder.
    • Your Paneer Dahi Vada Chaat is ready.
