Instructions
- Soak the urad dal in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the water and blend the dal into a smooth batter, adding a little water if necessary.
- Heat oil in a pan for frying. Take small portions of the batter and drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown.
- Remove the bhallas and soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften.
- In a bowl, whisk the curd and add salt. Squeeze out excess water from the bhallas and place them on a serving plate.
- Pour the seasoned curd over the bhallas. Drizzle tamarind and green chutney on top.
- Sprinkle chaat masala and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve chilled.
Tips
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the bhallas from absorbing too much oil.
- You can adjust chutney quantities based on your taste preference.
