Mix Dal Wadi  or vadis are  Sun Dried Lentil Drops, usually punjabi wadis are made from urad dal but in this recipe I have add 5 more dals with urad dal. This is my blog's third Sundried recipe, first one was aloo papad and  second was sooji khicha. You can have this handy in kitchen it tastes good and also very useful when vegetables are out of stock., it can be easily combined with other vegetables too. Ingredients required and detailed instructions for the recipe are as below:
Ingredients

:
Toor dal- 2 tablespoon
Chana dal-2 tablespoon
Split moong daal- 2 tablespoon
Yellow moong dal-2 tablespoon
Green urad dal-2 tablespoon
Lobia-2 tablespoon
redchillies 6-8
peppercorns- 1 teaspoon
cumin seeds 2 teaspoon
hing-2 pinches
salt- (optional) to taste
Instructions:

soak all the dals overnight in sufficient water.
Drain water, wash them thoroughly, don’t throw the skins of moong and urad dal, pour dals in a strainer, so that extra water drains out.
Crush cumin seeds, pepper corns, red chillies and hing

Grind all the pulses in grinder with little water. Pour it in a bowl, add crushed spices and salt.
With the help of spoon beat grinded pulses for 4-5 minutes so that mixture becomes light and fluffy and air incorporates in it.
On the backside of thali or tray drop small size of wadis( as we drop pakodas) sun dry them for 4 days.
Store in an airtight container, whenever required take 4-5 wadis, fry them till golden in color, crush them and make subzi of Aloo wadi. This wadi goes well in Sindhi mix veg too.
Notes: Wadis should be dried properly for minimum 4 days else they will not last for long.Mixture should be dry else bottom surface of wadis come out flat after sun drying.
