“Dhungar”- Dhungar is a technique of imparting a smoky flavour to a dish, when a particular dish has finished cooking, a live coal is taken and it is put into a small bowl then ghee and other spices are poured on it, when it starts to smoke this is put in the middle of the pot, the smoke from the coal must be trapped in the pot by tightly closing the lid.
