11- When the bhallas become golden brown in colour, remove them from oil.
12- Now put all the bhallas in water immediately and let them stay for half an hour.
13- Now prepare yoghurt mix for the bhallas. For this, add powdered sugar to the curd.
14- Now to serve, lightly press the bhallas and remove them from the water.
15- Now place the bhallas in the bowl, add yoghurt, cumin powder, black pepper powder, black salt, red and green chutney on the top.
