Rathyatra is incomplete without this dish! But What if this most comforting dish was slowly disappearing?
In Episode 2 of Lost Recipes of India, we travel to Odisha to rediscover Dalma, a wholesome lentil and vegetable dish that’s deeply connected to Odia culture and the traditions of Lord Jagannath.
But this isn’t the Dalma you’ll usually find.
Together with food storyteller Biswajit, we cook Dalma using indigenous vegetables that are slowly disappearing from our kitchens – Manja (banana stem), Palua (arrowroot).
India is losing hundreds of traditional recipes every generation. Through Lost Recipes of India, we’re travelling across the country to document, preserve and celebrate these forgotten culinary treasures.
If this recipe reminds you of home or if your state has a forgotten dish that deserves to be remembered, tell us in the comments.
