In fact, the combination of dal puri with aloo chorchori is an all-time favourite in Kar’s family. “It is such a perfect combination because dal puri and aloo chorchori are specialities passed down by my maternal and paternal grandmothers, respectively. Over the years, it became comfort food for us. And after my marriage, it has now become a favourite in my husband’s family, too,” Kar shared. Now Kar adds her own tweaks to this family favourite. “I add extra spice or two like hing (asafoetida powder) for a distinctive smell. And asafoetida powder is a great digestive agent too.”
