Dahi Phulkian-Burns Road style
Dahi Phulkian or Dahi Bharay is a popular Street Food in Pakistan. In my opinion you can get the best Dahi Phulkian in Burns Road. The balance between sweet and savoury is perfect. The texture of the Dahi (yogurt) is silky smooth and the Phulkis are soft as ever.I have simplified this recipe as much as I could so that you can quickly prepare it and enjoy it with your friends and family.Another main element of the dish is the fragrant Masala which is used as a garnish. I have also put in the recipe for the Masala so that you can easily prepare it at home.
