🇮🇳 Indian

Soft urad bhalle drowned in chilled yogurt, the Delhi chaat that opens every wedding buffet. Sweet, sour, spicy, crunchy and cold in the same mouthful — chaat logic. Serve immediately with small plates and no judgement.

Prep 20 min Cook 6 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

Yogurt2 cups, whisked
Saltto taste
Urad Dal2 cups, chopped
Tamarind Paste2 tbsp
Chaat Masala1 tsp
Red Chili Powder1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped
Pomegranate Seeds1/2 cup

Instructions

1
Boil, fry or toast the base component until the texture is right; cool what needs cooling so the yogurt doesn't slump.
2
Beat the yogurt till pourable and gloss-free; lumpy yogurt ruins an otherwise perfect chaat.
3
Spread the base out flat and drag both chutneys across it in ribbons.
4
Flood the plate with yogurt, then season hard — masala from a height falls evenly.
5
Bury it under the yogurt, add the jewelled garnish, and get it to the table while everything still crackles.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
