In all of Western Odisha, chaaul bara, also known as challa bara, is a well-known street snack. It has a crispy outside and a fluffy, soft interior. It pairs well with two varieties of specialty chutneys: Patalganta chutney (tomato chutney) and Tentel Jhol (Tentuli Jhola, or tamarind water). The combination of hot Baras dipped in tamarind water and tomato chutney is divine.

Ingredient for Chaula Bara Recipe

Regarding Chaula Bara:

• Rice, parboiled: 2 cups
• ½ a spoonful of urad dal
• ¼ teaspoon of carom seeds
• ½ teaspoon of cumin seeds
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3–4 chopped green chilies
• 1- inch of chopped ginger
• Diced coriander leaves: 2 teaspoons
• Curry leaves: 2 chopped springs
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

Procedure For Chaula Bara Recipe:

1. In boiling water, wash and soak the rice and urad dal for six to seven hours, or overnight.

3. Next, thoroughly mix in the chopped onion, cumin, carom, baking soda, salt, chopped green chili, ginger, coriander, and curry leaves.
4. In the meantime, warm up enough oil in a heavy-based pan for deep-frying. When the oil is hot, delicately drop a spoonful of batter into it with care. Proceed in the same manner with the leftover batter.
