Tāpaharī (तापहरी) refers to one of the miscellaneous dishes mentioned in the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā. Bhojanakutūhala states that tāpaharī is a very famous dish in northern India. The ingredients for cooking tāpaharī are black gram vaṭakas, rice grains, ghee, turmeric, wet ginger, asafoetida, water and salt. Prepare vaṭakas from black-gram flour. Mix them with turmeric and fry them in ghee. Add washed rice grains and pour adequate water to this mixture. Then add salt, wet ginger and asafoetida to it. This preparation is known as tāpaharī.
