Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse and soak the lentils for 6-7 hours or overnight. Make sure you use a large bowl to soak the lentils as they will double in size.
After the soak time is over, drain and rinse the lentils again.Add the lentils to a food processor or blender, add 2 tablespoons water, and pulse into a fine paste. - 2
Open the blender and scrape the lentils from the sides, add another tablespoon of water, and pulse again. Do not add all the water at once; add it in batches.
Pour just enough water to grind the dal into a thick yet fine paste. The batter should be thick and of dropping consistency.
Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl and season it with cumin seeds and salt. - 3
Whisk the Bhalla batter for about 5-6 minutes or until it is well aerated and double in size. You can use either a hand whisk, electric whisk, or a stand mixer to aerate the batter.
Take a small portion of the batter and drop it in a glass of water. If it floats on top, you are all set, but if it sinks, then you need to whisk for a few more minutes until you attain that texture. Perform the water test again and then proceed. Just remember the batter should FLOAT in water. - 4
FRYING VADAS
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.Once the oil is hot, use an ice cream scoop and drop the Bhalla batter into the oil. Fry the bhallas for about 7-8 minutes over medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they turn golden brown. - 5
Once cooked, remove them from the heat.Set them on a paper napkin to drain. Let them cool.
SOAK DAHI BHALLAS
Add the cooled bhallas to a pan of hot water.
Cover and let them soak for about 15-20 minutes.
Bhallas will soak up the water, and double in size and become soft. - 6
After the desired time is over, take each bhalla out of the warm water and gently press it between your plans to remove excess water. Set it on a plate. Repeat this process with all the bhallas.
- 7
Whisk chilled yogurt along with the spices until smooth. You can thin the yogurt with milk or water.
Pour yogurt into a deep dish. Add the Bhallas to the yogurt.Cover the dahi bhallas with an extra layer of yogurt. - 8
Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Dahi bhalla tastes good when chilled.
Just before serving, garnish with Roasted cumin seeds,Red chili powder,dahi masala, green chutney, tamarind chutney.
