Ingredients for Dahi Bhalla Chaat
Besan bhallay (phulki)
Hot water (for soaking bhallay)
Boiled potatoes (cubed)
Boiled chickpeas
Finely chopped tomatoes
Finely chopped onions
3 cups thick yogurt
3–4 tablespoons mint yogurt
2–3 tablespoons tamarind chutney
1 tablespoon chaat masala
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon red chili powder
How to Make Street Style Dahi Bhalla Chaat
Start by soaking the besan bhallay in hot water for 5–7 minutes. This step makes them extra soft and fluffy. After soaking, gently press each bhalla between your palms to remove excess water without breaking them.
In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth and creamy. Add salt and mix well. The yogurt should be thick but pourable. This creamy base is what makes this homemade dahi bhalla so delicious.
Now arrange the soaked bhallay on a serving dish. Add boiled potatoes and boiled chickpeas evenly over them. Sprinkle chopped tomatoes and onions for freshness and crunch.
Pour the whisked yogurt generously over the bhallay. Make sure they are fully covered. Drizzle mint yogurt and tamarind chutney on top to create that authentic sweet and spicy chaat flavor.
Sprinkle chaat masala and red chili powder evenly. For extra flavor, you can add more chutney according to your taste. Serve chilled for the best experience. Dahi Bhalla Chaat
