   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry spoonfuls of the batter until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
2. Prepare the Yogurt Sauce:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt and add Shan Dahi Bara Spice Mix to it. You may also add a little sugar to balance the tanginess and adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Assemble the Dahi Bara:
   • Soak the fried bara in warm water for a few minutes until they soften.
   • Once softened, place the bara on a serving platter and pour the spiced yogurt mixture over them.
