I don't recall from who or where this recipe came from. If anyone would happen to know, zmail me and I will credit. It is a bit thinner than the usual dal. It is to be served as a soup, rather than a side dish. The spice/heat is barely detectable. You can adjust yours to taste.

This dal was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add more water next time.

The dal was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was a good recipe. I think next time I'll use less chili pepper.

This dal was easy to make and turned out great! I used red lentils instead of yellow lentils, and it still came out perfectly. I served it with rice and a side of yogurt.

I'm not a big fan of lentils, but this dal was surprisingly delicious. The spices really elevated the flavor of the lentils and made them very enjoyable.

This Bengali dal was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the lentils were perfectly cooked. I will definitely be making this again.
