Today we are going to start second week of Mega Blogging Marathon. This week in Buffet on Table we are going to present recipes from Indian States. In this theme we have to cook one dish or a thali from each state and each day a state for six days.
For this second week My first two recipes are Breakfast recipes. The first recipe is from Bengal, Radha Vallabhi .. This is a very popular and favorite breakfast in Bengal. Which you can find any sweet shops in breakfast time. Radha Vallabhi Beautiful name right I don't know why this name given to this delicious dish. Radha Vallabhi almost looks like a poori but the recipe is different. This is a stuffed puri with dal mixture, you can stuff this puri with channa dal or urad dal mixture. Some places this is known as Hinger Kochuri may be because of the flavor of asafoetida in the stuffing. Radha Vallabhi is usually served with Cholar dal and Dum Aloo. This is consider as a festive breakfast.
Not only in Bengal this a special breakfast in Orissa also. Particularly in Puri Jagannath Temple this will be served in chappan bhog as Maha prasad..
I used urad dall for stuffing btu you cam make with channadal also, I tried both but we liked urad dall stuffing.
