Dahi puri: does the curd make it healthy?

A plate of dahi puri is about 367 kcal, and the cool white curd is only a small, kind part of that. The real load comes from the deep-fried puris, the fried sev, and the sweet chutney - not the dahi.

Dahi puri is a diet food because it has curd.

mostly false

Mostly false. The curd itself is fine - it gives you protein, calcium, and good bugs for your gut. But one plate is about 367 kcal, and most of that comes from deep-fried puris, fried sev, and sweet chutney. The curd is the smallest, kindest part of the plate. It does not cancel out the fried stuff around it.
