The most common deep-fried fritter used in this chaat is urad dal-based vada which can be tricky to prepare. Well, the alternative is to use other flour, and besan or chickpea flour can be ideal. One such popular recipe is dahi phulki chaat known for its softness.

I am a big fan of chaat recipes and I guess it is evident in my blog with the types of chaat recipes I have posted over the years. Particularly, any dahi-based chaat recipes are my personal favorite. The combination of sweet, savory and sourness makes it a perfect snack meal combo. As a matter of fact, most of the North Indian chaat recipes do come with the dahi topping. I do not like it that way, and I prefer dahi with these deep-fried fritters. I personally do not like to have yogurt sauce on my samosa chaat or masala puri, but dahi vada or dahi pakodi chaat is a great snack combo. Do try this variation and I am sure that, you would love it and prepare it often compared to the traditional dahi bhalla.

In addition, some more related and important tips, suggestions, and variations to the dahi phulki chaat recipe. Firstly, the shape of this pakoda is important. It comes in a round shape when deep-fried without disturbing it in the initial round. Also, you may need to deep fry them in small batches. Secondly, use thick and full creamy yogurt or curd to prepare the dahi base. As a matter of fact, you may use Greek or strained yogurt for its super creamy texture. Lastly, the deep-fried pakoda’s has to be soaked thoroughly in the dahi sauce. You may check the softness once it is ready to serve. You may extend the assembling by adding different types of chaat toppings.
