This is a simple traditional Bong style Red Lentils Curry and this happens to be one of my favorite dal recipe. I relish having it with steamed rice and some aloo bhaja (potato fry) on the side. It is nutritious as it contains lot of proteins and there is minimum use of spices. Have it with a tsp. of ghee or a dash of lime for added flavor. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare my version of this homemade style Masoor Dal.
- 1/2 cup masoor dal (red lentil), soaked for 30 minutes
- 1 tbsp. oil
- 2-3 dry red chilies
- 1 tsp. panch phoron
- 1 onion, chopped
- salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp. roasted cumin powder
- 1 tbsp. coriander leaves. chopped
- 1 tsp. ghee
Boil the dal in 2 cups water for 3-4 whistles or till it is soft and mushy. Give it a whisk and keep aside.
Heat oil in a pan and temper with dry red chilies and panch phoron. Allow it to splutter.
Add the chopped onion and sauté till light brown. Then add the boiled dal, salt turmeric powder and cumin powder.
Mix well and simmer on a low flame for 2-3 minutes. When done, switch off the flame.
Add chopped coriander leaves and ghee and serve with hot steamed rice, accompanied with aloo bhaja (potato fry) for a great comfort meal.
