On the auspicious occasion of Eid, *Dahi Bhallas* are a dish that appeals to everyone—from children to adults alike. If you, too, wish to create something special at home this Eid, this simple recipe is absolutely perfect for you. With the help of this recipe, you can recreate the spongy, soft *Dahi Bhallas*—just like those made by professional confectioners (*Halwais*)—right in your own kitchen. This recipe is quick to prepare and is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
**Ingredients for Making Dahi Bhallas**
1 cup Urad Dal (Split Black Gram)
2 cups Yogurt (Dahi)
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Roasted Cumin Powder
1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
Tamarind Chutney
Green Chutney
Oil (for frying)
A pinch of Black Salt
**Easy Method for Making Dahi Bhallas**
**1. Prepare the Dal**
Soak the Urad Dal in water for 4-5 hours. Afterward, grind the soaked dal into a thick batter.
**2. Whisk the Batter**
Now, add salt to the batter and whisk it thoroughly for 5-7 minutes. This process ensures the *bhallas* turn out light and spongy.
**3. Fry the Bhallas**
Heat oil in a deep pan (*kadhai*). Drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil and fry them until they turn golden brown.
**4. Soak in Water**
Place the fried *bhallas* into lukewarm water for 10 minutes. This step helps them become soft and tender.
**5. Serve with Yogurt**
Gently press the *bhallas* to squeeze out the excess water. Arrange them on a plate, then top with yogurt, tamarind chutney, green chutney, and spices.
**Tips for Making Perfectly Soft Dahi Bhallas**
The more vigorously you whisk the dal batter, the softer your *bhallas* will turn out.
It is essential to soak the *bhallas* in lukewarm water immediately after frying them.
Whisk the yogurt thoroughly beforehand to ensure it has a smooth and creamy texture.
On the day of Eid, garnish the *Dahi Bhallas* with pomegranate seeds, *sev* (crispy gram flour noodles), and fresh coriander leaves before serving. This will enhance the flavor even further.
