in bengali culture, only one name comes to mind when we need to serve an authentic veg breakfast. that is radha ballavi. this is an urad dal stuffed puri that is served with chana dal or any other veg potato dish like aloo dam. radha ballavi, also known as bestonika in sanskrit, were used to offer to the presiding deity of the house radha ballav ji and hence this name. some historians oppose this theory. however, radha ballavi has been able to maintain its steady popularity.
