Dalma is a popular Oriya<\/a> comfort food, and prepared with dal-vegetable combination. In dalma, the demure dal becomes dashing, due to a special spice-mix called chari phutana. You know how sunshine can cure winter blues<\/a>? The chari phutana is the sunshine for this dal-dalma. While preparing Dalma, I realized the reason for the recent negative<\/a> outburst on my website. Winter blues! No wonder people are cranky. I can’t wait for the spring and sunshine to get here.<\/p>\n

Dalma recipe is courtesy of doctor, food writer and nutritional expert, the lovely Nandita of Saffron Trial<\/a>. You can find her recipe and my photos in January edition of Men’s Health India<\/a> magazine. I would like to thank Nandita<\/a>, and Tithi Sarkar, the sub-editor of Men’s Health India<\/a> for contacting and giving me this photo opportunity. <\/p>\n
