Daal puri/ Flat bread with Bengal gram lentil stuffing by Sohini & Abhrajit Chatterjee
Daalpuri is, I believe a Bangladeshi speciality. Previously there used to be many a shops who would sell the Daal Puris, but now it’s almost rare to come by a shop selling these amazing puris, soft as butter and delicious. Thus here is the recipe for Daal Puris . I had learnt this from Sohini & Abhrajit Chatterjee. Sohini Chatterjee is a teacher and Abhrajit is an Engineer.
