📌 Dahi Phulki or Dahi Pakodi — A popular and cooling snack consisting of soft fritters made from gram flour (besan), immersed in whisked yogurt and served with spices; it is primarily prepared during the summer season.
📌 Dahi Phulki is prepared by soaking small gram flour fritters (known as 'Phulki') in whisked, spiced yogurt or buttermilk.
📌 But I prepare soaking it in water because, as the oil leaches out, we can simply discard the water. Afterward, I soak it in yogurt or buttermilk.
📌 Visually, it bears a strong resemblance to 'Dahi Vada'; however, while Vadas are made from urad dal (black gram), Phulki is primarily prepared using gram flour. It serves as a quick and easy variation of Dahi Vada.

#Manisha_PureVeg_Treasure #LoveToCook_ServeWithLoveis my introduction as a home chef.At the age of 10, I started my cooking journey with my mother's guidance. My cooking guru is my Maa - Mrs. Madhuri Dhanraj Bhatia. She was a master home chef, running a small business of food items like daily meal tiffin, traveling food packs, seasonal pickles, papad, chips, fryums, etc. So I learned a lot from her. At the age of 18, I got married to a huge joint family and started my new journey. My family loves my dishes and appreciates me. Especially my husband and my son. So, day by day, I improved myself, and today, cooking is my hobby, my passion. My husband, Mr. Kamal Sampat always supports and motivates me. All credits goes to my mother and my husband.I joined Cookpad in September 2018.Till today sharing my recipes. I am happy to join Cookpad, to learn and share more and many more. ❤️👍👌💐
