Zero Oil Steamed Dahi Bhalla

This Zero Oil steamed Dahi Bhalla is BeatO chef’s signature recipe. It is a fantastic alternative to the fried version and is, in fact, softer than a traditional fried Bhalla. Steaming the Bhallas helps retain their softness. This, along with sugar-free chutney, also reduces calories drastically compared to a Dahi Bhalla from the store. Tried and tested by our expert chefs and nutritionists, this recipe is so delicious you won’t believe these Bhallas have no oil and are sugar-free.
