Whether it’s a basic dal or lentil soup that makes a comforting dinner when served with rice, or our favorite dal chawal, an Indian meal isn’t complete without dal. In India, dals and lentils can be used in countless different ways and cuisines. DhokarDalna is a classic traditional Bengali recipe that is typically prepared on special occasions. In Kolkata, Mother’s Recipe, a well-known Indian cuisine company, launched their original and meticulously made Dhoka Instant Mix.

As part of “niramish” (without onion or garlic), this tasty traditional Bengali dish was cooked. However, through time, individuals have incorporated it into regular meals. Dhoka is a cake made from the finest chana dal that has been spiced and then fried before being put into a curry or “Dalna”. It is usually served with rice, pulao, luchi, parathas, dhoka or dhokar dalna. The nutritional needs of a vegetarian lunch are met by this protein-rich treat. The lengthy method of preparation begins with soaking the dal overnight.

Today’s homemakers and working women balance many responsibilities while still attempting to feed their families home-cooked meals. Mother’s Recipe uses the traditional recipe without the addition of preservatives, artificial colors, or flavors and blends convenience with tradition.

The product is available in all local retail stores across Kolkata. Mother’s Recipe Dhoka Instant Mix is available in two SKUs – 100g at Rs. 35 and 200g at Rs. 65.
