🍳 Method (Step-by-Step)

Wash urad dal (and moong dal if using) and soak for 5–6 hours or overnight 💧
Drain and grind into a thick, smooth batter using minimal water.
Add ginger and salt and beat the batter well till light and fluffy ✨
(Beating adds air, making bhallas soft and spongy)

Drop small portions of batter into oil and fry till golden and cooked evenly 🥣✨
Remove and drain on paper towel.

3️⃣ Soak the Bhallas 💧

Soak fried bhallas in warm salted water for 15 minutes 🥣
Gently squeeze each bhalla to remove excess water without breaking them ✨
This makes them ultra-soft 😍

4️⃣ Prepare the Yogurt 🥣

Whisk curd till smooth and creamy.
Add sugar and salt, mix well till balanced 😋
Keep chilled for best taste ❄️

5️⃣ Assemble the Dahi Bhalla 🥣✨

Arrange soaked bhallas in a serving dish.
Pour generous amount of yogurt over them 🥣
Add green chutney 🌿 and tamarind chutney 🍯

Garnish with coriander and pomegranate seeds 🌿❤️
