Armu

Armu is a traditional dish originating from the northern regions of India, particularly in the states of Jammu and Kashmir.

The primary ingredients are soaked overnight and then cooked with a blend of spices, which may include cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. The dish is typically prepared during the winter months and is often served with a side of yogurt or raita, which helps to balance the spiciness of the stew.
