Doi Bora vs Dahi Vada
As similar as they might sound, but there lies certain minute differences which make the two dishes apart from each other.
While the Delhi’s famous street food Dahi Vada or Dahi Bhalla chaat goes with a more elaborate topping of julienne Ginger and Pomegranate seeds among the rest, its Bengali version of is much humble and simple, appearance-wise. All you need to do is sprinkle a pinch of Rock Salt and dry roasted Cumin Seed powder on a dollop of Yogurt. And there you have your soul-filling serving of Doi Bora is ready to serve.
Though there isn’t anything of a recipe for this because all you need to do is to soak the lentils and grind them and deep fry the fritters, still I am going to document it for you guys to save or share it for later.
