I attempted to cook "dalca" the other day. Not sure of the recipe, I just made it all up ~ a bit in a hurry (and a bit "lazy") to look for it in the mags or recipe books or to switch on the computer and be online :-).
..and so I gathered the ingredients that I thought should be in it..hehehe..
My made up recipe :
~ A small bowl of beef - cubed
~ Potatoes
~ Carrots
~ Dhal
~ Celery
~ Long Beans
~ Tomatoes
~ A bowl of coconut cream
~ Curry powder/chilli paste
~ Onions/garlic/ginger ~ to blend
~ Salt to taste.
I confidently cooked it like I normally would in making curry,..and whilst it simmered, called up my eldest sister in K.T...but she said I should use dalca powder instead of curry powder...aaahh??..there's special powder or paste for dalca eh?..that's the first time I heard...hehehehe...
my dalca/veggies curry :-)

Cheqna dearie,
We usually use bones too, apart from just meat, lamb instead of beef, for that strong Indian smell. I think this dalca powder is new, in the old days people will just use curry powder. Looks yummy though, your concoction. OK, pass the paratha please! purrr....meow!
Cheqna,
I normally use curry powder too, but somebody gave us dalca powder(i think made in India/pakistan) a few mths back. I mixed with curry powder coz it was too hot to use on its own and it turned out quite well, the smell was sure yummy :)
Tqvm Cat n I.a...so I'm not totally in d wrong eh..hehehe..
I luv veggies, so i dont mind making it again, may be d next time will use dalca powder..serve with pratha or home made roti canai?..come on down!...che waaah..
