🍲 The food
Dalma - A comforting lentil cooked with vegetables and roasted spices, tempered with cumin — the everyday soul food of Odisha
A thali is the full local plate - a ring of small bowls over one tray of rice and bread, and the fastest way to taste the whole kitchen in one order.
Odia food is quiet, rice-led cooking with the seafood turn on the coast - simpler on the plate than its neighbours and no worse for it.
