You can never go wrong with dahi bhalla. Soft lentil fritters soaked in creamy yoghurt, topped with tangy chutneys and crunchy papdi, the dish hits the right spot every time. It has also been winning hearts across India for generations. And while homemade versions have their charm, there's something about the street-style preparation that feels like pure food theatre. A recent viral video captures this magic in motion, and trust us, it is drool-worthy.
The clip begins with the street vendor filling a container with dahi while the bhalle are neatly stacked in the corners at the edge of the pot. With a few swift motions, he dunks the bhalle into the yoghurt and serves them onto paper plates. He then expertly cuts the bhalle into bite-sized pieces and adds a crunchy layer of papdi. A sprinkle of masala, turmeric powder and red chilli powder follows, topped with a dollop of yoghurt and a drizzle of sweet date chutney, completing the delicious dahi bhalle dish.
