Chef's Notes
Do not skip the chilling phase for the curd, as the stark temperature contrast between the warm environment and the icy yogurt is where the culinary magic happens.
Pro Tip
When squeezing the water out of the fried spheres in Step 6, press them gently using the flat of your palms rather than squeezing with your fingers to avoid tearing their delicate outer crust.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you squeeze the soaked spheres too aggressively like a wet dish sponge, you will end up with a sad, mashed pile of broken gram crumbs instead of glorious, intact bhallas.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Jester asks: Why do we spend hours soaking and grinding grams, only to drown them in curd and forget they were ever healthy to begin with?
The Culinary Science
Soaking the black gram softens the complex starches and breaks down anti-nutrients, while adding cooking soda introduces carbon dioxide micro-bubbles that trap air for an exceptionally fluffy texture.
