about our bori

Boris are traditionally hand-made involving a somewhat labour intensive process that demands skill and experience. These ones are made with chalkumro (ash gourd) mixed into the kolai daal batter to have a somewhat of a dried vegetable lentil dumpling.

what you can cook with it

Bori is quite versatile and can be added to most savoury dishes. They just need to be lightly fried before being softly crushed to be sprinkled on top of dishes. They are quite delectable simply fried and can be had just like that.
