Dal Bukhara: The Exotica Of Indian Dals
How often have to seen Dal Bukhara on the menu of an Indian restaurant? Very rarely right. Actually, this dal recipe is more or less a part of the Indian cuisine. However, dal bukhara originates somewhere in the North West Frontier Province, now Uzbekistan. Bukhara is in fact the name of a town in Uzbekistan.
The look and feel of this dal recipe is very similar to our very own Dal Makhani. But there is a distinct difference between the Punjabi dish Dal Makhani and the exotic Dal Bukhara. The difference comes from the spices used in these two dal recipes.
If you are bored with the everyday dal recipes in the Indian cuisine, then dal bukhara gives you an interesting option to choose.
