If you want to make it on your house then you have all these things available in the house like rice, daal, rajma, curd, etc. You also have to buy special spices for cooking these things and these all things are available to you in nearby stores.
2.Tudkiya Bath
The Himachalis own style food. The origin of this food is from Himachal. This dish is an upgraded style of Dham. As to make a tudkiya bath you have to add all the things in one thing only salty. Then take some mustard oil in the utensil and add some Cuminum to it. Then left it for some time until the Cuminum starts giving a crisping sound. Then add Dham to it then mix it well and finally, you are ready to enjoy the Bath. This is invented by Himachalis to reduce the wastage of food. To make Bath more awesome you can add externals to it like lemon, raw onions, etc. These things are also helpful in enhancing the taste of the food.
