Begin with the bowl
Soft lentil fritters in yogurt meet a spicy potato curry: Incredible India describes the combination that gives dahibara-aloodum its contrast. Notice the softer pieces, then the potato and its gravy. Ask how the cook builds their serving; proportions and toppings can change from one kitchen to another.

Make a little tasting game
Try a small taste of each part before mixing the bowl. Notice softness, spice and contrast, then find the combination you like. Ask for a smaller serving or less chilli if that suits you. These are tasting prompts, not a recipe or a claim that every vendor serves the same preparation.
Leave a little room
Choose your kitchen.
Ask about ingredients, preparation, dietary needs and the price before ordering. Choose a serving and a place to eat that suit you; arrange drinking water and a pause in the day. We have not inspected food stalls, ranked vendors or checked their current menus.
