A lost recipe and my childhood recipe for sure. My Late Mom used to cook Dorma or Dolma a lot and one of her and my favourite was with stuffing of Cholar Dal or Chana Dal. This is a very unique recipe in the sense that no curry is made after stuffing. Usually the practise is to make a curry with potatoes. Instead only fried and enjoyed best with rice.
