Any input from someone who knows better is very welcome</b><br /><br />Jhaal in Bengali actually means hot, as in chili hot.<br /><br />But when used for a dish it takes on a different meaning<br /><br />Jhol -- usually a soupy light gravy <br /><br />Jhaal -- a spicy gravy which is thicker than the Jhol BUT does not use whole Garam Masala and most of the time no onions. Often a little mustard paste is used to make a jhaal but this might differ between family traditions<br /><br />Dalna -- a thicker gravy that uses whole Garam masala and also onions/garlic etc.Bong Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15407918137263251235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-8903315292990889232010-05-20T08:59:42.591-04:002010-05-20T08:59:42.591-04:00Your Mom sounds cute! :D In Bengali does jhol mean...Your Mom sounds cute! :D In Bengali does jhol mean gravy and jhaal mean spicy or hot?
