🍳 Method:

Step 1: Soak & Grind the Dal

• Wash and soak both dals for 4–6 hours.

• Drain the water and grind coarsely (not too smooth) without adding much water.

Step 2: Mix the Spices

• In a mixing bowl, add the ground dal paste.

• Mix in chopped green chili, ginger, hing, turmeric, salt, chili powder, and coriander.

• Add your premium ingredients if you’re making Premium Dalbari.

Step 3: Shape the Dalbari

• Wet your hands and take small portions of the mixture.

• Shape them into small discs or balls — not too thick, not too thin.

Step 4: Cook It

• Deep Frying: Heat oil and fry till golden brown and crispy.

• Air Frying (Healthy Option): Brush with oil and air fry at 180°C for 12–15 minutes.
