In Western Odisha, chaaul bara, or 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.

Here’s the mouthwatering Chaula Bara Recipe,

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

Warm water

Add salt to taste.

Deep-frying oil

Procedure For Chaula Bara Recipe:

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

Add a small amount of water and grind to a thick, smooth batter. Stir it for a while until the batter becomes light.

Next, thoroughly mix in the chopped onion, cumin, carom, baking soda, salt, chopped green chili, ginger, coriander, and curry leaves.

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.

Continue to fry until the color turns golden. Cook the opposite side after flipping. After all of the Baras have turned a light golden color, remove them to absorbent paper to drain any remaining oil.

Regarding Tomato Chutney:

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

2 green chilies.

Ginger: ½ inch

2 cloves of garlic

Chopped leaves of coriander: 1 tablespoon

Observation:

Rice that has been parboiled is often used to make challa bara. You can also prepare with any type of rice if you don’t have par-boiled rice.

In tentuli jhol, tadka is not required. It tastes fine without tadka as well.

It is possible to fry the chaula bara again to give them extra crunch and color.
