Dahi Bhalla is one of North India's most beloved chaat dishes, and at The Samosa Club in Edmonton,
we prepare this refreshing delicacy with authentic techniques and the finest ingredients. Our bhalla
(lentil fritters) are made from urad dal (black gram lentils) that are soaked, ground, and shaped
into soft, fluffy fritters. These are then deep-fried until golden and crisp, before being soaked
in water to achieve that signature soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
What makes our Dahi Bhalla truly special is the careful layering of flavors and textures. After
soaking the fritters to perfection, we generously drizzle them with creamy, slightly tangy yogurt
that provides a cooling contrast. Then comes the flavor explosion - sweet date chutney adds richness,
tangy tamarind chutney brings the perfect zing, and a sprinkle of aromatic spices including chaat
masala, roasted cumin powder, and red chili powder complete the dish. Fresh cilantro and sometimes
pomegranate seeds add the final touch of freshness and color.
A Refreshing Street Food Classic
Dahi Bhalla is the perfect balance of cool and warm, sweet and tangy, creamy and textured. It's
particularly popular during hot weather as the yogurt provides a cooling effect, while the spices
add warmth and depth. This dish has been a street food staple across North India for generations,
and at The Samosa Club, we prepare it fresh daily with traditional techniques. Each serving delivers
the authentic taste of Indian street markets - a perfect harmony of flavors that's both satisfying
and refreshing.
