Bengali Dhokar Dalna Recipe

Dhokar Dalna is a signature Bengali vegetarian dish. It is lentil cake made using chana dal which is traditionally fried and simmered in a satvic gravy i.e. a gravy without onion and garlic. I have learnt the recipe from my mother. She makes amazing dhokar dalna.

I have baked the dhoka instead of frying them to make it healthy and they taste as good as ever. The process is little time consuming but it is worth all the effort. 

Serve Bengali Dhokar Dalna Recipe with Bengali Luchi Recipe or Methi Lachha Paratha Recipe for lunch.
