Bhubaneswar: It’s the day to celebrate dahibara aloodum, the quintessential street food of Odisha and staple food of Katakis, a name synonymous with the people of Cuttack.

Dahibara Aloodum Dibasa is being observed every year on March 1 since 2019 when a bunch of young foodies from the state floated this idea to make it a popular snack, which is believed to have been first made and sold in Bidanasi (old Cuttack) near Barabati Fort, world over.

A year later, the mouth watering street food, which is a spicy combination of soft spongy dahibara covered with aloodum and ghuguni garnished with small bits of chopped onion, coriander leaves, cucumber, chutney and sev, won the first award at the 11th National Street Food Festival in New Delhi.

Here is how people, who swear by the tangy flavour of dahibara aloodum, reacted on social media platforms:
