Alaori/ अलौरी

 

The sweet puri made from Alaori chana dal is called this.

In Uttar Pradesh, it is prepared during the Vat Savitri puja, but in our home, we often make it whenever we feel like eating something sweet.

At our place, savory puris or parathas made from chana dal are also prepared and eaten with potato curry..
