Dahi Bhalla | Dahi Bade with step by step photo and video recipe. Street food or chaat recipes have become an integral part of Indian food or cuisine. Every region, state and city has its own contribution to this popular street food category. One such ultra-popular street food meal is Dahi Vada Recipe or Dahi Bhalla Recipe from Delhi  Street, which is known for its sweet, spicy and salty taste combination.

Curd based snacks have always been my favorite recipe. It probably gives a soothing and satisfying feeling when served with a combination of spicy and salty snacks. Urad Dal Vada is one such salty and spicy snack, which becomes soft and tender when dipped in creamy and sweet curd. Having said that, even before dipping it in curd, I have dipped it in hot water so that it softens instantly and also removes excess oil. The same technique is followed in street style and hotels, which helps in making it even softer.

  Moreover

Another advantage of soaking in hot water is to speed up the softening process of the vada. For example, vada takes twice the time to soak in creamy curd and become soft because it is thicker than water. Soaking or serving creamy curd dipped in hot water is an ideal solution for Dahi Bhalla recipe . 

furthermore, I  would like to add some more additional tips, suggestions and variations to dahi vada recipe . firstly, for street style variant i would recommend preparing round or ball shaped vada. A  doughnut Don’ts bother making V-shaped vadas as it doesn’t really help the taste. Secondly, if you feel that you are not able to shape the vada into a ball with your fingers, then you can use a round spoon.

You may sometimes have to dip it in water and clean it before further use so that the batter can easily slide into the hot oil. finally, I have served it directly with creamy, spicy and sweet curd after dipping it in hot water. I have not specifically soaked it in curd but there is no harm in doing so. But this is not required as it becomes super soft after soaking in warm water.
