Jharkand Dhuska & Aloo Rasa

We are now in Jharkhan state for the BM#39 Indian states cuisine and will explore the cuisine of Jharkhand.
Traditional Jharkhand cuisine is equally vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian. These traditional dishes are not available at the restaurants as they have not been commercialised. However on a visit to a tribal village or a tribal wedding in a remote area one can get a chance to taste such exotic food. All preparation except the pickles and festive ones are low on oil and spices.
The famous recipes are Dal Bhaat , Chilka roti , Dhuska , Aloo Chop , Aloo Rasa . Puttu , Baasi Bhaat etc.
I forgot to make any recipe for Jharkand and scheduled Uttranchal recipe for the state . Luckily yesterday when I was checking the post Irealise my mistake and remove the schedule.
