In my beautiful and eventful state Odisha. Dalma is a traditional and all time favorite recipe . Dalma is prepared with any types of dals (mostly Moong dal) vegetables , grated coconut and/or Sag (green leafy vegetable). I have taken the veggies for Dalma ,those were available in my kitchen. You can choose any veggies you like. In many households Dalma and Roti/Paratha/Poori/Chudaghasha is common and long lasting nutritious pair of recipes.
