Dalma is one of the most comfort and
staple recipe of Orissa region. On every auspicious day, dalma must be include
in menu and served with rice. It’s a simply and delicious recipe with
combination of vegetables and lentil which enhance the taste more.
Traditionally, they used raw papaya and raw banana in this recipe but I made
this recipe with regular vegetables. Compare to other Indian cuisine, Odia
cuisine used less oil and is less spicy but of great taste.
