Khatta Moong (soured Lentils) Recipe
Yield: 3 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2/3 cup: Yogurt,
2/3 cup: Mung dal,
3 cup: Water,
1/2 tsp: Turmeric, ground
1 tsp: Salt,
3 3/4 cup: Water,
2 tbsp: Gram flour,
4: Chiles, green
1: Ginger, fresh, 1/2" knob
2 tsp: Ghee,
1: Cinnamon stick, 1"
1/2 tsp: Cumin, whole
1 pinch: Hing,
1/2 tsp: Sugar,
2 tbsp: Cilantro leaves, chopped
Directions:
Let the yogurt sit for 24 hours at room temperature so
that it has a slightly sour taste.
Wash the dal thoroughly. Place the dal, 3 cups water,
a pinch of turmeric and 1/2 tsp salt in a saucepan and
bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover loosely, and
simmer until the dal has split open but is still
whole. (It should not become mushy.) Drain and put
aside. Whisk together the yogurt, 3 3/4 cups water and
gram flour. [Add the water gradually, and quit when a
good-looking consistency is reached.]
Grind two of the chilies and the ginger to a paste.
Heat the ghee in a large saucepan. Add the remaining
two chilies, broken in half, cinnamon, cumin, and hing
and let them sizzle for 5 or 6 seconds.
Add the yogurt mixture, the remaining turmeric and
salt, sugar and the chili and ginger paste. Stirring
constantly, cook for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the drained dal and cook for a further 5 minutes
until thick. Garnish with the chopped cilantro leaves.
