Moong dal dumplings cooked in a traditional gujarati curd mixture, dapka kadhi served with rotlas, green chillies and garlic chutney is a sumptuous and satiating meal worth a million dollars! when making this dish, ensure that the dapka batter is sufficiently thick. First drop one dapka into the kadhi—if it floats up, it means it is perfect, and you can proceed with the rest. Else, adjust the batter by adding besan, or cook the dapkas in a microwave oven before adding to the kadhi.

Ingredients

1 recipe kadhi

For The Dapkas
1 cup yellow moong dal (split yellow gram)
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1/2 tsp sugar
a pinch ofsoda bi carb
salt to taste

For The Garnish
 finely chopped coriander (dhania)

For Serving
 rotlas

Method
For the dapkas
  1. Soak the moong dal in enough lukewarm water for 3 to 4 hours. Drain and keep aside.
  2. Blend the moong dal in a mixer to a fine paste.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a deep bowl, add the oil, ginger-green chilli paste, sugar, soda bi-carb and salt and mix well. Keep aside.

How to proceed
  1. Just before serving, bring the kadhi to a boil, add the dapka batter a little at a time using your fingertips to form dumplings and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes till the dapkas starts floating on top.
  2. Garnish with coriander and serve hot with rotla.

Handy tips:
  1. While adding the dapkas, add one dapka and wait for it to float up. If it does not float, this means the batter is too thin. Add a little besan to the dapka batter and try again.
  2. Alternatively, put small dapkas in a small microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 20 seconds.

Its a wonderful alternative to the fried pakoda kadhi,that is a staple in north Indian homes. As a variation I tried it with moong dal chilka and it was just as nice. Thank-you Tarla aunty!
