Dhuska (Jharkand Street Food)


          Dhuska is a traditional and a very popular breakfast of Jharkand State that is also enjoyed as a snack. These are deep fried mini pancakes, almost similar to mini dosa, prepared out of ground rice, chana dal and urad dal. They are also sold as street food along with ghugni (chickpeas). It is very easy to prepare and goes well as a kitty party or a picnic recipe. So check the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this yummy delicacy.








  • 1 cup rice
  • 1/2 cup chana dal (Bengal Gram)
  • 1/4 cup urad dal (split black gram)
  • 2 green chilies
  • 1" ginger
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin seeds
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. asafoetida
  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 2-3 tbsp. coriander leaves
  • oil to deep fry





         Soak the rice, chana dal, urad dal and cumin seeds overnight. Grind along with green chilies, ginger, salt and required quantity of water into a paste. (The batter should be of pouring consistency).

          Add turmeric powder, asafoetida and coriander leaves. Mix well and whisk for 1-2 minutes.

          Heat oil in a pan and drop a small ladleful of the batter in batches. Cook on one side, then carefully flip it over. When done, drain on a kitchen towel. 

          Make similar dhuska with the remaining batter and serve with ghugni (chickpeas curry) or any side dish. I enjoyed with chana madra.
