Hope you loved the snack from Nagaland. Now it is time for us to move on to Odisha or formerly, Orissa. I identify Odisha from their dance form, Odissi and also the famous Puri Jagannath temple.
Their culture is very close to Bengali and Assamese and so they share a similar cuisine. Here this Buta Dali is also made in Bengal and Assam as I understand. I have also come across variations of Buta Dali and this one was favored at home.
While you check out if this version of Buta Dali works for you, I shall have to go to Pondicherry now to make sure all is well with that post! See you there!
