I am Barnika. "DALMA" is typical Oriya recipe from the state of Orissa, which is located in the eastern part of India. The people of Orissa like this item of food very much with steam rice and all the Oriya people love to eat this in their principal meal. The nutrient value of this item is very high because, most of the ingredients are green vegetables and dal which rich in protein. There are verities of "Dalma" from different parts of Orissa. The ingredients differ from one to the other.
