Chana Dal Halwa: Split Bengal Gram Halwa

Chana Dal Halwa

Green Peas Kachori with Dum Aloo / Koraishuttir Kachuri & Alur Dom

Happy that I could use this winter recipe from Bengal, and cater to a little nostalgia from a recent trip

• Part of the   South Vs. North Challenge created by  Divya Pramil of  You Can Cook Indian Food
• Recipe challenge by Sanoli's Kitchen Koraishuttir Kachori with Spicy Dam Aloo.

I found several  versions of Bengali Dum Aloo/ Alur Dom  in the blogosphere. Though similar to the Adraki Aloo Tamatar, this has  a roasted flavour. Everyone has a favourite with variations in spicing. I have used Sanoli's recipe but have also adapted Sangeeta's Mottorshuttir Kachuri and Alur Dom recipe. Had bookmarked it for sometime and finally got an opportunity to make it. Her tip on making the green peas filling is specially appreciated. Thank you!
