Here’s another interesting street food from Burma, highly recommended as it is a nice change from the usual food. Other than the assembly of all the ingredients it is pretty simple but gives an impression of a festive and elaborate feast. You could grind the lentils and leave them in the freezer and thaw it when you are ready to use them. If you have all the ingredients at home this could be served to your unannounced guests.

Instructions
-
Grind the soaked dal with ginger salt and serrano.
-
Make the oval balls with the dal, heat the oil, and fry the vadas. The trick to fry is to heat the oil really hot and then start frying.
-
Once they are brown take them out on the paper towel.
Gravy
-
While the vadas are frying, on another stove take the besan in a saucepan.
-
Add the water and mix well. Once mixed turn the stove on and let the gravy boil.
-
Once it is boiled lower the heat and add salt, turmeric and the blended yogurt. You can also add a cinammon stick if you want.
-
Once it simmers for about twenty minutes with occasional stirs, the consistency should be like a thick soup.
- To serve, In a bowl, break couple of vadas, add shredded cabbage, fried tortilla chips, boiled diced potatoes, green chili chopped, cilantro, diced onions about a teaspoon of tamarind juice, lime juice, salt and chili flakes. Pour the soup on top as per your liking, that is if you like it to be a little soupy or dry.
