Blogging Marathon# 39 – Indian States: Day 12
State: Jharkhand
Dish: Dhuska & Ghugni
Jharkand is a state located in eastern India. It was carved out of the southern part of Bihar in the year 2000. The name Jharkhand means The land of forests, Jharkand accounts for 40% of the mineral resources of India.
Cuisine: Jharkhand’s cuisine is very similar to Bihari cuisine. Jharkhandis use different types of flowers as vegetables like the flowers of drumstick etc., Use of Saag, i.e., leaves of different shrubs and other small plants, is perhaps another peculiarity of Jharkhani food.
Staple Food: Urad dal, Rice, Vegetables.
Today’s Dish(es): I made a traditional dish from Jharkhand and Bihar. Dhuska is made with unfermented rice & lentil batter and is usually deep fried. I followed Vaishali’s tip and cooked them like dosas instead. I had some batter leftover after making dhuskas which I left to ferment for about 10~12 hours and then made dosas with the batter. Dosas turned out crisp and perfect. Dhuska is served with ghugni traditionally and that’s what I made.
Recipe adapted from Vaishali’s RibbonstoPastas:
Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 39.

I was skeptical about dhuska because my little one does not appreciate a thick bread …he does not prefer bhakris or uttapams as well…but looking at your recipe , i have a strong urge to dig in, looks nice
