ABOUT Badeel RECIPE

A lost recipe from the kitchens of kumaon. Something which isnt available at the restaurants and has almost negligible written literature. This is one of those recipes which is passed over from the mothers to their daughters, or as in my case from my mother in law to a non kumaoni bride. Enjoy it as a starter or an accompaniment to the main inidan course
