After tasting the rich Lucknowi Dahi Vade, it is the turn for this traditional dish from Uttarakhand, formerly Uttaranchal. It is a relatively new state, carved out of Uttar Pradesh in 2000. Uttarakhand is also known as the 'Land of the Gods' due to the various pilgrim centers and temples. Visiting Badrinath and Kedarnath are considered very auspicious by Hindus.
It is also known for its natural beauty and many tourist spots like Dehradun and Nainital. The state is divided into two provinces, Garhwal and Kumaon.
Coming to the recipe for today. I understand that this is made during weddings and other festive occasions. This is a typical Garhwali dish.

I see your version uses very little ghee. The fennel and cardamom must have added a really nice flavor. They looks great.
this is new to me... love the addition of saunf should be so flavorful..
Fennel and cardamom that surely makes a flavourful roat, looks absolutely delicious.
