7. Prepare the hung curd dip. Take hung curd, onions, capsicum, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and mix well.

8. Take the waffle pieces and cut them all into 4 equal parts. Spread the dip on half of the cut pieces. Cover it with another waffle piece.

Tips:
1. Hung curd can be prepared by tying the curd in a cloth and keep it hanging for about 3-4 hours so that all the water from the curd comes out.
2. You can serve the waffles as it is with hung curd dip, if you do not want to make the small bites.
