Re: Dahi Bhalay

i have a very simple recipe...soak some white daal for couple hours. Then blend it. I add little salt, pepper, and garlic paste for flavoring. Mix it and fry them like you fry pakoras. The only think is don't add too much water when blending. the water should be only half inch above the daal in the blender.
When they are done, take them out and soak them in water. When soft, lightly/softly squeeze the water out. lay them in a dish. sprinkle some chaat masala, pour yogurt, and garnish!

Re: Dahi Bhalay

why would you add corn flour in yogurt?

8

Re: Dahi Bhalay

Corn flour may add some aromatics into your senses...lol

9

Re: Dahi Bhalay

it doesn't have any aroma and flavor...lol

Re: Dahi Bhalay

Well...if you first make the corn flour slightly warm in a frying pan or something...then let it cool...and then add it to yogurt...should smell pleasant... :)

Then fry the dumplings - cold water till soft.. bung in yogurt, sprinkle with lots of chaat masala

Re: Dahi Bhalay

Am I the only one who adds onions, tomotoes, boiled potatoes etc in Dahi Bhally?

Since the daal ones take time I once froze them and just soaked them in warm water before adding in the yogurt but if I am in a rush I just make the besan ones and add baking soda in it to keep them soft from inside!

Re: Dahi Bhalay

I also add tomatoes, potatoes, onions...even channay.... otherwise i think it's to plain.

So in essence it's chaat with dahi bhalley in it. :D

Re: Dahi Bhalay

no, that is punjabi way of eating them. I remember whenever we visited our nani ama in faisalabad, she would get this sort of dahi baray and they were delish!

yeah i too freeze them and then soak them in warm water.
