#detox - This healthy steamed delicacy is from the State of Chhattisgarh. It is a lentil based snack recipe that is basically prepared with chana dal. However, I dished out this yummy appetizer with a mix of lentils. It turned out real yum.

It is a very easy and a quick recipe and can be relished with tomato sauce or green chutney. It is also a great tea time snack. You may stir fry it with some tempering too, as an alternative. Both ways it tastes simply awesome.

Not much is know about this particular dish. It is almost a lost recipe. This protein rich snack is a great alternative to any fried pakoras. Hence, it is a must try healthy snack recipe.
