Dahi bhalla · Delhi

Soft lentil dumplings soaked in water, then served under chilled whipped yoghurt with sweet tamarind and green chutneys, roasted cumin and chilli.

Dahi vada is eaten across India, and the Delhi version is known as dahi bhalla. A recipe for lentil dumplings in curd appears in the Manasollasa, a twelfth-century Sanskrit encyclopedia, and today the dish is prepared for festivals such as Holi. In Chandni Chowk it is sold at chaat counters that specialise in almost nothing else.
