Radhaballavi is a special Bengali stuffed puri, the outer coverings being really crispy and golden-brown breads encasing a very flavorful filling of spice-laden urad dal or black gram. The real uniqueness lies in the stuffing-it is ground urad dal mixed with some aromatic spices like cumin, green chilies, and ginger. so it makes the puri-you can say-the thickest and a much more flavorful puri compared to the others. Now, here the dough is made carefully with all-purpose flour, rolled and filled with that spiced filling sealed, and deep-fried till it puffs up beautifully golden. Then, this very breakfast dish is relished complete with strong spices-aloo dum, spiced potatoes, or chickpeas-a really complete meal. It's special enough for special occasions and good enough for weekend brunch Radhaballavi. Take a little time and practice to master it, but in the end, it will imprint in your taste some fabulous memories related to this Bengali culinary heritage.
