From ages there is a natural instinct of human being to preserve food for future. I have seen my grandmother drying and storing different seasonal items in the containers. I still remember the shelves where the containers were kept. And whenever we kids cried for something, parents failed to manage us my grandmother used to open the container and gifted me something from her stores which makes me smile. One such item was Daler Bori or Sundried Lentil Dumpings.
She used to paste the soaked Dal, shaped the dough into small dumps with her special touch and dry out in the sun. Not just any sun but the soft and mellow rays of the sun which nurtured the dumplings and made it crunchy, tasty and offcourse nutritious when fried. A rich source of protein as it is made of Dal.
Ahhh... I can still smell the flavour of the Bories which used to spread all over the house with the special touch of grandmother.
