Dahi Bhalla Masala

Here's a basic recipe for making Dahi Bhalla using Roopak's Dahi Bhalla masala:

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup urad dal (split black gram)
• Salt, to taste
• 1 Tsp Roopak's Dahi Bhalla masala
• 2 Cups yogurt (curd)
• 1 Tsp roasted cumin powder
• 1 Tsp red chili powder
• Tamarind chutney (optional)
• Mint chutney (optional)
• Sev (optional)
• Chopped coriander leaves, for garnish

Instructions:

• Wash and soak the urad dal in water for about 4-5 hours or overnight.
• Drain the water from the soaked dal and grind it to a smooth paste using very little water. The batter should be thick.
• Add salt to the batter and mix well.
• Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai. Wet your hands and take a small portion of the batter, shape it into a small round ball, and gently drop it into the hot oil.
• Fry the bhallas on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy.
• Once fried, remove the bhallas from the oil and soak them in lukewarm water for about 10-15 minutes.
• Squeeze out the excess water from the soaked bhallas by pressing them gently between your palms.
• Beat the yogurt (curd) well until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of salt, Roopak's Dahi Bhalla masala, and mix well.
• Arrange the squeezed bhallas on a serving plate and pour the beaten yogurt over them.
• Sprinkle roasted cumin powder and red chili powder on top.
• Optionally, drizzle some tamarind chutney and mint chutney over the dahi bhallas.
• Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and sev.
• Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Dahi Bhalla!
