#dals - This is a signature dish of Rajasthan. It is basically chickpea flour dumplings boiled in water and then cooked in a spicy yoghurt based gravy. There are many variations to this simple delicacy. This yummy preparation can be enjoyed with Rajasthani khoba roti or with any type of Indian flat bread or rice.

Rajasthani cuisine is known for its spiciness, simplicity and the use of yoghurt in most of the gravies. Traditionally this curry is purely vegetarian. Onion, garlic and tomatoes are sometimes added in few homes according to individual preference and in some restaurants.

I made use of some onion and garlic, but omitted tomatoes. I also added some garam masala and almond paste for some richness but it is purely optional.
