    This is another bengali recipe which I cooked recently. The aromatic flavour of lentils with spices and coconut will have your family asking for more.

    Ingredients: Sufficient For Four People

    1 Cup chana dal
    4 Cups of water
    1 Tblsp oil
    1 Tblsp cumin seeds
    ½ Turmeric powder
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon dry mango powder/amchoor
    2 Dry red chilies
    2 Tblsp grated coconut
    2 bay leaves
    A pinch of asafoetida
    3-4 Raisins/kishmish (optional)
    salt as per taste

    Method: Wash and soak dal for ½ an hour. Pressure cook this dal by adding salt and turmeric powder. One whistle is enough to make dal soft. Keep this aside and prepare for tempering.

    Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Once they start spluttering add bay leaves, red chilies, and a pinch of asafoetida. saute it for a minute, and add grated coconut. Fry this for another 1-2 min and than add bolied dal. Stir it well and add sugar, dry mango powder, raisins and adjust salt as per taste. Cook this for 4-5 min on low flame. Serve hot with boiled rice and chutney.
