@sukanya & swapna,
thank u girls:)

@sreelu,
even i was not aware that panch phoran is used in oriya cuisine. i am amazed with the similarities bengali and oriya cuisne have and came to know rasgulla is actually from orissa.

@vani,
thanks my dear. this was the first time i tried cooking oriya food and fell in love with it. its pity that we dont have enough recipes

"Orissa or Kalinga, as it was then called, is a western Indian state with an ethnic past that is still vibrant."

1. Orissa is not a western Indian state it's in the east.Please make that correction.

2. No blog about Oriya dishes is complete without "dalma" and "Chinguri Tarkari". Please post these recipes.

Thanks for writing about Oriya food.

Sia,

Such a beautiful pic and mouthwatering recipes, did not know that panch pooran is a native of Orissa, always thought it was used by bengalis.
And congratulations on your award, you always have a way to keep the readers engaged with your words,recipes and pictures.

2007-08-17T15:03:00.000+01:00

Hey Sups

I don't have a "Cholar Dal" recipe in my blog. While you used grated coconut, the original Bengali recipe calls for tiny coconut pieces but even i use grated cocnut because that is easily available here.
Rest is same
