Dhokar Dalna is basically a spiced and steamed chana dal cake cooked in a simple slurry of spices, potato and coriander leaves. This classic Bengali dish is often enjoyed with steamed rice
Dhoka'r dalna is a typical Bengali niramish (without onion and garlic) delicacy. The word 'dhoka' means 'betrayal', so this dish is common on days when families eat a vegetarian fare, and trick themselves into believing the lentil cake, made flavourful with spices, coconut, peanuts, etc., is actually meat!
This is an very traditional bengali curry which is named “Dhokar Dalna” - Dhokar means Lentil cakes and Dalna means the gravy.
