Another summer special favourite dish for Oriyas, to such an extent that if you are throwing a party in summer and menu doesn’t include any masaledar parwal/potala dish … it’s honestly incomplete feast.

It’s a recipe created with roasted potala and regular Indian spices. Tastes amazing with a combination of rice and daal.
