Recipe Notes

Batter will be thick. 
If batter is ready then immediate make vada.

Additional Tips

  • For extra-soft and fluffy vadas, aerate the urad dal batter by whisking it vigorously with your hand for several minutes until it becomes light and increases in volume; this step is crucial for the melt-in-the-mouth texture associated with authentic Dahi Bhalla.
  • If you prefer your Dahi Bhalla less oily, after frying, soak the vadas in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then gently squeeze out excess water—this not only removes oil but also ensures the vadas absorb yogurt more readily.
  • Try adding a layer of finely chopped fruits like pomegranate seeds or grated apple on top of the assembled Dahi Bhalla for a burst of freshness and a pleasing textural contrast.
  • To save time for future servings, freeze fried vadas (without soaking in water) in an airtight container; when ready to use, thaw, soak in warm water, and proceed with the recipe as usual.
