Zubereitung von Bengali Sweet And Sour Lentils

  1. Rinse 1 cup red lentils thoroughly under running water, removing any debris.
  2. In a large pot, combine the lentils with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
  3. Once the foaming subsides, add 2 bay leaves, 2-3 green chilies (slit lengthwise), 1 tsp turmeric powder, and a pinch of asafoetida.
  4. Partially cover the pot and simmer gently for 40 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the water is absorbed.
  5. While the lentils simmer, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  6. Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped) and 1 inch ginger (grated). Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup grated creamed coconut, 1 green chili (finely chopped), 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste), 2 tbsp tamarind paste, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp cumin powder, and 1/2 tsp coriander powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  8. Once the lentils are cooked, add the sautéed coconut and spice mixture. Stir well to combine.
  9. Season with salt to taste. Add more sugar or tamarind paste as needed to balance the sweetness and sourness.
  10. Transfer the dal to a serving bowl. Drizzle with 1 tbsp hot ghee (clarified butter), sprinkle with extra garam masala and chopped cilantro for garnish.
