Instructions:

Soak the urad dal and moong dal in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Drain the water and grind the soaked dal in a mixer to a fine paste.
Add cumin seeds and salt to the batter and mix well.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Wet your hands and take a small portion of the batter and drop it in the hot oil.
Fry the dumplings until they turn golden brown and crispy from all sides. Drain the fried dumplings on a paper towel.
Soak the fried dumplings in lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes. Drain the water and gently press the dumplings to remove any excess water.
Beat the yogurt and sugar together to make a smooth and creamy mixture. Add salt to taste.
