Mutton ka Dalcha is a combination of chana dal with mutton. The recipe is different from the usual hyderabadi Dalcha as no souring agent added.
Dal is the integral part of Indian cooking. I think we will be lost if there were no dals. Lunch is an incomplete affair without dal.
Today, I am sharing you the recipe of Dalcha from our region Amravati, maharashtra. Previously known as Berar region, Amravati had been under the rule of nizam for many years. Due to this region’s cuisine has lots of influence of hyderabadi cuisine.But the recipe which I am sharing today is different then Hyderabadi dalcha. We are not adding any souring agent in our recipe This recipe uses minimum of masalas so the overall flavor is of Chana Dal & ghosht. Dalcha is served with bhagare chawal/ tempered rice. I will share that recipe later.
