Dahi Phulki (Gram Flour Dumplings in Yoghurt)

Serves : 8

Dahi phulki is the perfect accompaniment to any South Asian meal. It’s that side dish that makes the meal complete. It can be served with chicken tikka, biryani or eaten on its own. Some people want yoghurt with all their Indian/Pakistani meals and this is what you can make to satisfy their cravings.

What you Need:

For the yogurt:
3 cups 2% yoghurt whipped
Salt to taste
2 tbsps sugar
½ tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
1.5 cups water

For the dumplings (phulki):
2 cups gram flour
Salt to taste
¼ tsp baking soda
Water as needed to make batter
Vegetable oil in a wok for deep frying

How To:

1.       Prepare the yoghurt by whisking all of the yoghurt ingredients together.
2.       Add water and whisk again.
3.       Pour into the serving dish that you will be using.
4.       Make a smooth batter out of all the ingredients for the dumplings. It should not be runny or very thick. If it’s too thick, the dumplings will be hard.
5.       Using a tablespoon, pour a tbsp at a time into hot oil and fry all the dumplings.
6.       Take out a few at a time from the oil and add to the yoghurt.
7.       Let them sit in the yoghurt for about 2 hrs before serving. This will give them a chance to absorb some of the liquid and soften.
8.       Garnish with chaat masala seasoning and tamarind chutney.

ENJOY!
