6 Places For The Best Dahi Bhalle
Streaked with laces of sweet-sour tamarind chutney, the white creamy crumbly dahi bhalle is reduced to a minor dessert at every occasion. Our taste buds dulled by too many dishes barely register the sweet subtlety of these deep-fried urad dal dumplings put in whipped curd. However, there are eateries in Delhi, which serve the dahi bhalla as their principal dish.

Natraj Dahi Bhalla is in Old Delhi’s Chandni Chowk. Situated at the entrance of a very narrow lane that sneaks to the Metro station, this establishment has been serving dahi whale since 1940. Outstretched arms take over the counter as the crowd increases in the evening.
