A classic Rampuri style, Dahi Phulki is prepared with besan. This recipe is a variation of dahi bhalla that uses besan as an ingredient; it calls for dipping pakodas in the batter and serving them with sweetened curd. This snack is ideal for Ramadan because it doesn't need any grinding or extra preparation, and the batter is ready in a flash.
