Step 1
【Amritsari Khatte Laddu Ki Chaat】Dilute tamarind pulp with water, bring to a brief boil, and strain into a large bowl to prepare the tamarind water base.
Step 2
【Amritsari Khatte Laddu Ki Chaat】Season the tamarind water with sugar, salt, black salt, red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, chaat masala, and raw hing.
Step 3
【Amritsari Khatte Laddu Ki Chaat】Add thinly sliced onions, julienned beetroot, and julienned carrots along with chopped coriander into the tamarind water. Stir well and let it chill in the refrigerator.
Step 4
【Amritsari Khatte Laddu Ki Chaat】Grind the drained soaked chana dal and moong dal with ginger, green chillies, and minimal water into a thick, smooth paste.
Step 5
【Amritsari Khatte Laddu Ki Chaat】Transfer the batter to a bowl, add salt, ginger, green chillies, coriander, and optional baking soda. Whisk vigorously in one direction to incorporate air until light and fluffy.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
【Amritsari Khatte Laddu Ki Chaat】Whipping the dal batter in a single direction is crucial for incorporating air, ensuring the fried laddus are soft, spongy, and soak up the tangy liquid thoroughly.
【Amritsari Khatte Laddu Ki Chaat】The lentil dumplings should be added warm into cold or room-temperature khatta paani so they absorb the liquid like a sponge without falling apart.
【Crispy Makai Ke Pakore】Make sure the cooked corn kees mixture cools completely before shaping into balls, otherwise it will become sticky and deform in the hot oil.
【Crispy Makai Ke Pakore】When deep-frying, gently rotate the oil rather than piercing the pakoras immediately to prevent the wet besan coating from tearing.
