Versatile Delight

Whether served as an appetizer, iftar snack, or at picnic potlucks, Meethi Dahi Phulki always wins hearts. You can also transform the same recipe into a Mix Chaat by adding chutneys and boiled potatoes — a definite crowd-pleaser for your guests!

So traditionally these phulkian or dumplings are made of gram flour (baisan) but I add all purpose flour (maida)  as well, and add two leavening agents baking powder and baking soda.  Two of these additional ingredients makes phulkian soft, tender and melt in your mouth.
