I followed the recipe and the dalma turned out to be delicious .my brother in law is an oriya and he has brought Khnagaa sukhua (dry fish) can u please tell me the recipe to cook the same.
Soak the khaanga sukhua (dried fish)well in warm water and wash well.it should be softened also.Put ground ginger,garlic,finely cut onion
in a pan and fry well with oil till oil separates.Add finely cut tomatoes,further fry.Then add the sukhua and fry along with the masala
paste.After fully mixed with the spices,add little water to have a thick masala coating.goes well with rice or pakhala.
Nice recipe,it sounds tasty!
wash the sukhua ,soak it in water if it is too dry, but the best sukhua will be fleshy,soft and brownish red in colour, you can get them from all places near chilika, the best sukhua dish is fried sukhua in mustard oil and tastes wonderful with badi chura and pakhala bhata flavoured with lemon leaves and amba lasi
I made this last week, for a Oriya junior, far from home. It was nice, since he appreciated it a lot. Although I have a doubt. I followed your recipe almost exactly. Didn't have red pumpkin, skipped it
1) Are we supposed to peel the papaya? I have never cooked papaya before. I
2) I peeled the banana. We always peel banana in our Konkani cuisine. However I didn't find the banana in the curry after I was done cooking! Did it get alll musy and disappear in the curry because I peeled it?
Varsha - banana of course was supposed to be peeled, perhaps u can adjust the size of banana cubes. raw papaya should be peeled.
