\n\t\t\tWhat is the difference between dahi vada\/dahi baray and dahi phulki\/pakori?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Vada\/Baray are made from Urad\/White Lentils (Maash Daal) and\/or Moong\/Yellow Daal while phulki is made from baisan or chickpeas powder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Substitutions and Variations<\/h2>\n

The yogurt sauce is the simplest form I have made.<\/p>\n

You can add green chutney to it and temper with some curry leaves, cumin seeds, black sesame\/nigella seeds, whole red chili, mustard seeds to give it a hyderabadi twist.<\/p>\n

My mum makes whole red chili and garlic blended with water and added to yogurt.<\/p>\n

Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n

This is such a staple street food and along with chana chaat and homemade paapri, it can make a perfect chaat.<\/p>\n

Top with some chaat masala and tamarind chutney.<\/p>\n

You can also serve it with kaalay chanay<\/a>. It is delicious on its own too.<\/p>\n

Make Ahead and Storage<\/h2>\n

You can make phulkis ahead of time and freeze them in a airtight freezer bag. To use, soak in hot water for around 5-8 minutes and squeeze extra water out. Place them in yogurt sauce.<\/p>\n

You can keep the prepared dish in the fridge for up to one day.<\/p>\n

Yogurt sauce can be prepared a couple of days ahead. Note that if you are using frozen dahi phulki then it will be soaked in hot water first, in that case yogurt sauce will be quite thick.<\/p>\n
