This typical curry is very popular in my state Odisha.Mostly this traditional dish is prepared in marriage feasts, any functions /ceremonies or as we Odias call it "Bhoji".❤️ . It's preparation is quite unique where fish head is cooked with Channa Dal with some specific vegetables.Here I've even added some Moong Dal to make it more protein rich and flavourful.😋 . We Odias love our fish so much so that one can find lots of such unique fish recipes that goes very well with one pot hot steamed plain rice. 🍚😀  My detailed recipe given below: Ingredients : -Bengal gram/ chana dal : 1 cup  -Moong dal-1/2 cup - Fish head : 1 (big size) -Onion : 2 medium (finely chopped) -Ginger and garlic paste : 2 tbsp. -Tomato : 1 small (roughly chopped) -Potato-1 medium size(cut into cubes) -Pumpkin-medium size(cut into cubes) -Green Beans-Handful(roughly 11-12) -Carrot-1 medium size(cut into small cubes) -Turmeric...

And the three day long Odia festival, Raja(pronounced raw-jaw) parba is here. It's that time of the year when we celebrate Womanhood, the rains and the renewal of life with great pomp and pleasure. Various soul- treating Odia cuisines(mostly pitha of many types) and sweets(meetha) are made, enjoyed and happily relished with families and friends. After all food is the universal language of love that connects every heart all over the world.

  A special variety  of rice pancake which is offered to LORD JAGANNATH on Shravana Amavasya also known as Chitau Amavasya. This authentic Odia recipe is made with soaked rice and coconut which are ground together to make super delicious fluffy coconut pancakes. I always used to observe the process and certain techniques when Grandma, "Jejema" as I call her in Odia made these for puja offering. Once the puja was done everyone in my  family gets to have these pithas and these are one of my most loved delicacies. Varieties of pithas has always been a very integral part in every festival, occasion or puja in my state Odisha. These pancakes just make a super yummy and healthy breakfast when relished by dunking each piece into some warm milk/homemade kheer. The most interesting fact about Chitau Pitha is that it is never flipped and this method of cooking makes it soft, mushy and tender which just melts in the mouth with every bite. Detailed Recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup ric...
