easy recipe to make bada
During the conversation, Lakshmi Verma also shared an easy recipe for making urad dal bada. He told that first of all urad dal is kept soaked in water for two to three hours. After this, the pulses are washed thoroughly to remove its skin. Then it is finely ground in the mixer. Now add finely chopped green chillies, onion, coriander leaves and salt as per taste and mix well.
After the mixture is ready, it is given a round or flat shape by hand and fried in hot oil on low flame for 15 to 20 minutes, so that the crispiness remains from inside. When the bada becomes golden and crisp, it is served with tomato chutney or green coriander chutney. Lakshmi tells that urad dal bada is so tasty to eat that once eaten, one cannot forget it.
The price is also completely budget friendly
The price of these big ones is also completely budget friendly. You get 4 big pieces for just Rs 20 per plate, which makes a perfect pair with breakfast or evening tea. The members of the women’s group sell them in fairs, haat markets and local shops, due to which they are earning good income. Lakshmi says that our aim is not only to serve taste, but also to take forward the tradition of Chhattisgarh and women’s self-reliance. This combination of his hard work and desi taste has now become popular among the people.
