Instructions
Soak the Dal
Rinse 1 cup urad dal, place in a bowl, cover with water and let soak overnight (or at least 8‑10 hours).
Time: PT0M
Grind the Batter
Drain the soaked dal and transfer to a mixer grinder. Add ½ cup fresh water, 1 tsp salt, ¼ tsp fenugreek seeds, ½ tsp cumin seeds, and 1 tsp dried red chili powder. Grind to a smooth, thick batter with no grainy bits.
Time: PT10M
Rest the Batter
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes; this helps the spices infuse and the batter to settle.

Heat Oil for Frying
Pour 2 cups vegetable oil into a deep frying pan and heat over medium‑high heat until a small drop of batter sizzles and rises to the surface (about 350°F).
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 350°F
Fry the Bora
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, gently flatten with the back of the spoon, and fry until golden brown and puffed, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper‑towel‑lined plate.
Time: PT10M
Temperature: 350°F
Soak Fried Bora
In a bowl, mix 1 cup lukewarm water with a pinch of salt. Submerge the fried bora for 2‑3 minutes to soften slightly.

Prepare Yogurt Sauce
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp sugar, and ¼ tsp salt until smooth.
Time: PT5M
Assemble the Dish
