Dahi Vada, also known as Dahi Bhalla, is one of the popular North Indian snack recipes. Made with soft lentil dumplings soaked in creamy, spiced yoghurt and topped with tangy tamarind chutney, it offers a delightful mix of flavours and textures. The vadas, prepared from ground urad dal and mild spices, are fried until golden, then soaked in water to become soft and spongy. This allows them to absorb the yoghurt beautifully, making the dish not only delicious but also a great way to enjoy the benefits of eating dahi (yoghurt), such as improved digestion and gut health. A mix of chutneys, spices, and crispy sev adds layers of sweet, sour, spicy, and savoury flavours, along with a delightful crunch.
