Jhinge diye Bhaja Muger Dal
#dalcurry - This is no restaurant style dish. It is just a simple Bengali homemade style moong dal recipe with turai / ridge gourd thrown in. This is a 'no-onion-no garlic' recipe. I just did a tempering of ginger, bay leaves, whole garam masala and panch phoron and finished off with coriander leaves and ghee for some flavour. You can enjoy it with plain steamed rice and papad as accompaniment.
