- Put cooking oil in a deep frying pan or karahi on high heat. Once the oil gets hot, turn the heat to medium and drop a tablespoon of mixture at a time in the oil and fry until golden brown. Then remove from oil and put the baray on a paper towel to absorb any extra oil.
- In a separate dish, beat the plain yogurt by adding a little water to form a paste. Add salt, red chilli powder and cumin powder. And whip well.
- Then take cold water in a separate bowl and put the baray in the water for a minute or so or until they are soft. Then squeeze the baray with your palms to drain out the water and add them to the prepared yogurt mix. Repeat this process until all baray mix is gone.
- Garnish with chaat masala and Imli Chutney . (Refrigerate until cold for better taste.)

Add a little water at a time if it is difficult to grind, continue grinding, this will incorporate air and make the paste lighter in texture. Leave it to rest for 15 -20 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or karahi. Test the temperature by dropping a small piece of paste into the hot oil. It should rise to the top at once.
- Drop carefully a tablespoon full of paste into the hot fat. Fry to a golden colour, turning once or twice. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and place on absorbent kitchen paper. Fry 4-5 baray at a time.
- Ten minutes before serving soak the dumplings in warm water. Press the dumplings between the palms carefully to squeeze out the water.
- Whisk yogurt with 1/4 cup water, chili powder, salt, garam masala and garlic to make a smooth paste.
- Arrange the dumplings in a serving dish. Pour the seasoned yogurt over it.
