Varanfal

Varanfal is a traditional Maharashtrian dish, also known as Chakolya.[1][2] It consists of wheat dumplings cooked in a toor dal curry which is sweet and spicy.[3][1] Prepared with less oil than other recipes, it is a healthy option during the festival and monsoon seasons.[3][1] It is similar to dal dhokli in Gujarati cuisine.[1][4]

It is often served with Ghee (Clarified butter) and chopped fresh Coriander leaves. It may be eaten by sprinkling some fresh Lime juice over it or with Dahi (Curd).
