Dhokar Dalna - Fried Lentil cakes in a tomato gravy is an authentic Bengali dish. A pure Satvik dish, sans no Onions and no garlic. This was generally served on special occasions like weddings and festivals to the widows who were not allowed to take onions or garlic. I have never tasted a Bengali dish except for the famous Rasgullas. So this time for the Blogging Marathon, I decided to prepare one from the "Bengal State" and I landed on this one. A very delicious gravy with those lentil cakes, that goes well with the Rice. The "Dhokar" can be eaten alone as a snack. In fact I did gobble up pieces while frying them before I could put it in the gravy. Check out the recipes, the other marathoners have cooked here.
