Kafuli is a popular and delectable side dish from Uttarakhand cuisine. A rustic make, it is absolutely tasty and pairs well with steamed rice, chapati or parathas.

The cuisine of Uttarakhand is packed with nutrition, simple and makes use of local vegetables. It is mostly vegetarian. The two regions have different cuisine, thus they have Garhwali uisine and Kumaoni cuisine. They have a wide range of tasty dishes such as aloo tamatar ki jhol, kafuli, phaanu, baadi, chainsoo to name a few. I would love to try these delicacies sometime but for now, it is Kafuli and I am so happy that I made it.

Well, I am back again with  Shhhh Secretly Cooking Group after two month break and this month, the state we are deriving inspiration  is the one and only Uttarakhand. My partner is Shobha Keshwani of Shoba’s Food Maaza. Her blog has many dishes from different cuisines. Do check it out. The two ingredients that she gave me were fenugreek leaves and salt. I had given urad dal and onion and Shobha madeUrad Dal Ke Pakode.
