About
Dahi Bada is a popular Indian snack made from deep-fried lentil dumplings soaked in a spiced yogurt sauce. The dumplings are usually made from a mixture of urad dal (split black gram) and mung dal (split green gram) that is soaked and ground into a paste and then shaped into small balls and fried. The fried balls are soaked in water, squeezed and then added to beaten yogurt. The yogurt is usually flavored with cumin, ginger, chili powder, and other spices. Dahi Bada is often served as a snack or appetizer, but it can also be served as a side dish or as part of a larger meal.
