About Dahi Bhalla
Dahi bhalla is fried lentil dumplings soaked in water, then covered in sweetened yogurt, tamarind and mint chutney and chaat masala. The soaking squeezes out some frying oil, so a plate of three is a moderate 300 kcal.
Tip: Ask for plain rather than sweetened yogurt; the sugar in the dahi is an easy 50 kcal to drop.
