Odias are best in making Dalma. I have seen it from my childhood at Odia bones different types of Dalma is cooked. It may be of many vegetables with lentils or it may be of few vegetables with lentils. It may be of without onion and garlic or it may be of onion and garlic. All depends on festival and mood. 1-2 month back So today I thought of posting Dalma with onion and garlic.
