For Bhallas:

• 1 cup urad dal (black gram lentils), soaked overnight
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• Salt to taste
• Oil for frying

For Yogurt Mixture:

• 2 cups thick yogurt (curd)
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• Salt to taste

For Serving:

• Tamarind chutney
• Mint chutney
• Roasted cumin powder
• Red chili powder
• Chaat masala
• Chopped coriander leaves

Instructions:

1. Drain the soaked urad dal and grind it into a smooth paste along with green chilies, grated ginger, and salt. Add water as needed to achieve a thick, smooth batter consistency.
2. Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Take small portions of the batter and drop them into the hot oil using a spoon. Fry the bhallas until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
3. In a bowl, whisk the thick yogurt until smooth. Add sugar and salt to taste, and mix well.
4. Now, soak the fried bhallas in warm water for about 10-15 minutes to make them soft. Squeeze out excess water gently from each bhalla and arrange them on a serving plate.
5. Pour the whisked yogurt mixture over the soaked bhallas, covering them entirely.
6. Drizzle tamarind chutney and mint chutney generously over the yogurt-covered bhallas.
7. Sprinkle roasted cumin powder, red chili powder, and chaat masala according to taste.
8. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves for freshness and extra flavour.
