For dahi baray / lentil fritters:
Clean and wash the mash daal. Soak for at least 4 – 6 hours or overnight.
Drain the water and place daal in a food processor. Add salt and cumin seeds. Add water little by little, and process till a smooth yet thick paste has formed. Be careful that the machine does not overheated.oasted cumin seeds, red chili powder and the baray in the yoghurt mixture. Stir together. Place the ground daal paste, add baking soda (if using) and mix.

Heat oil in a karahi or a large frying pan on medium heat. I prefer to use a frying pan as it is far more stable and gives me more surface area. Use a spoon to drop spoonfuls of the batter in the oil, and cook till golden brown on all sides. The oil should be on low-medium temperature so that the batter can crisp up from the outside, and cook through on the inside.

After fry put them in water bowl for 10 mints. Remove the baray / fritters from the water one by one, gently squeezing them between your palms to remove the excess water. Place the baray in a plate or platter if serving them separately, otherwise add them in the prepared yoghurt mixture.

If a sweet yoghurt mixture is preferred, reduce the amount of spices and add sugar. add roasted cumin seeds, red chili powder and the baray in the yoghurt mixture. Stir together carefully, and let sit for about 10 mints.
Garnish with more spices, tamarind chutney and papri on it
