Bethica DasDal Chingri Lentil with Prawns Bengali Style
#dinner - Dal means lentil and Chingri means prawns in the Bengali lingo. So this is a simple and a traditional recipe that is so easy to prepare. Here I have used masoor dal (red lentils) to prepare this delicacy. But you can also cook with roasted moong dal. It is enjoyed with only hot steamed rice or chapati.
Ingredient
1/2 cup
masoor dal soaked for an hour
1/2 cup
prawns
3 tbsp
oil
1/2 tsp
cumin seeds
1 tsp
garlic chopped
1 tsp
ginger chopped
to taste
salt
1/2 tsp
turmeric powder
1 tsp
cumin powder
1 tsp
coriander powder
1/2 tsp
red chilli powder
1 tsp
coriander leaves chopped
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Marinate the prawns with a pinch of salt and turmeric powder for 5 minutes. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a pan and fry them till light golden in colour. Keep aside.
* Step 2
Temper the same oil with cumin seeds and bay leaves. Add the onion, ginger, garlic and green chilies. Saute till light brown.
* Step 3
Add the soaked & drained dal & saute for 2 minutes. Now add all the dry spices (except salt) and mix well.
* Step 4
Add 1 & 1/2 cups water, salt & the fried prawns. Cover and simmer till it turns thick and done. Switch off the flame.
