A very interesting way of preparing dal, learnt from the Bengalis, the Dal Chenchki has a really mouth-watering flavour and appetizing aroma.
Typically, most Bengali dishes are tempered with a mix of seeds including mustard, fenugreek and nigella. The Dal Chenchki too derives much of its flavour from this mix of seeds, as well as a range of spice powders.
Shallots also give the dal a nice crunch and pungent taste. This everyday dal recipe is pressure-cooked, and is therefore not very time consuming.
It can also be enjoyed by diabetics, people with heart problems and weight-watchers as it is quite healthy, with a good dose of protein and iron too.
