    Aloo Phulkopir Dalna | Phulkopi Aloor Dalna

    December 16, 2012 By Debjani 1 Comment

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Bongs love their Luchi along with a bowl full of Phulkopi Aloor Dalna aka Aloo Phulkopir Dalna and this dish is completely different from the famous North Indian "Aloo Gobhi". "DALNA" is a typical Bengali vegetarian gravy dish. "CHANAR DALNA", "DHOKAR DALNA" etc are also equally famous and both the recipes are already there on my blog. Dalna is a subtle curry cooked with a tempering of asafoetida and ginger. The cut of the veggies makes it different from other Bengali curries.

    A rich gravy prepared with no onion and no garlic, loaded with the aroma of Ginger and asafoetida and with big chunks of Potatoes and fried Cauliflower is equal to Aloo Phulkopir Dalna. This is a quintessential Bengali side dish prepared with cauliflower and Potato and is a signature dish considered among vegetarian Bengali side dishes.
