Dalcha / Dal Ghosht

34
Dal is the integral part of Indian cooking. I think we will be lost if there were no dals. Lunch is an incomplete affair without dal.

Dalcha

Today, I am sharing you the recipe of Dalcha from our region Amravati, maharashtra. Previously  known as Berar region, Amravati  had been under the rule of nizam for many years. Due to this region's cuisine has lots of influence of hyderabadi  cuisine. 

Dalcha 2

But the recipe which I am sharing today is different then Hyderabadi dalcha. We are not adding any souring agent in our recipe  This recipe uses minimum of masalas so the overall flavor is of Chana Dal & ghosht. Dalcha is served with bhagare chawal/ tempered rice. I will share that recipe later.
