Dahi Bondi Chaat – Indian Snack

Step 1: Prepare the Bondi

Measure out 1.5 cups of bondi. Soak the bondi in lukewarm water for 15 minutes until it softens. After 15 minutes, strain the bondi to remove excess water.

Step 2: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

In a large bowl, take 4 cups of yogurt. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk well until smooth. Then, add 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of chaat masala. Whisk again until all the spices are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

To the seasoned yogurt mixture, add 1 cup of boiled chickpeas, 2 medium-sized boiled and diced potatoes, and the soaked and strained bondi. Next, add 1 medium-sized sliced onion, 4 chopped green chilies, chopped coriander leaves, and 1 chopped tomato.

Step 4: Mix and Serve

Gently mix all the ingredients together until everything is well coated with the yogurt mixture. Transfer the Dahi Bondi Chaat to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of chaat masala, some additional sliced onion, and papdi or slims for extra crunch. Serve immediately or chill before serving.

• Adjust sugar and salt according to your taste preferences.

• For best results, chill the chaat for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

• Ensure bondi is properly strained to avoid a watery chaat.

• Add a drizzle of tamarind chutney or green chutney for extra flavor.

• Include other chopped vegetables like cucumber or bell peppers.

• Garnish with sev or crushed papdi for added crunch.
