1 cup moong dhuli dal ( yellow lentils)
oil for deep frying
1/2 kg curd
2-3 tbsp imli chutney
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cumin powder
1tsp kasuri meethi
1 tsp black salt
10-12 raisins (optional)
finely chopped coriander leaves
METHOD
Wash and soak dal overnight or for 3-4 hours. Remove the excess water and grind to make smooth paste,v make sure there is no water on it while grinding or it will become thin and will give poor results.
After grinding, transfer this in a food processor to whip it, or in stand mixer, or whisk with hand beater. If you don't have any of these gadgets to whisk, use hands to beat till fluffy.
As soon as it changes colour from bright yellow to pale yellow,
it's ready. Refer the pic below.
By the time you beat dal, keep oil for frying, the oil should be ready as soon as you finish whisking dal. Try not to keep whisked dal for long or the air that is incorporated will settle down.
Take small ball sized portion of batter, dig in one raisins, it's optional, if you wish you can skip adding raisins.
Deep fry in hot oil, flip and cook from both the sides. Remove in absorbent paper, now transfer this in bowl filled with lukewarm water.
Cover and keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, softly squeeze out the bhalle, and set in serving bowl, add curd over it, garnish and serve chilled.
Store remaining bhalle in a bowl filled with fresh water in the fridge, it can be stored for 1 week to 15 days, but make sure to change water every 2 days, squeeze bhalle only before using.

There is no need to add soda if batter is whisked well, in case you have kept the batter for long, add 1/2 tsp of soda, mix well and deep fry.
