Katte Masoor Dal Recipe
Like the rest of the country, Chhattisgarh cuisine is influenced by the cuisine of the neighbouring states. Though the staple food is wheat, jowar and maize, rice is also widely consumed. Rice is used to make food as well as savoury food and hence the name as the "Rice Bowl of India". In Chhattisgarh cuisine, the usage of spices and oil is sparing. However protein-rich lentils especially Toor dal also called Arhar Dal are enjoyed.
For January 2018, we are making recipes from Chhattisgarh cuisine for “Ssshhhh Secretly Cooking.” Amrita Iyer is my partner, who choose masoor and rice as my secret ingredients.
I choose to make Khatte Massor Dal with rice crepes but finally had to settle for steamed rice. This recipe I copied from here.
Curds used to make the masoor to make it more flavourful, tasty, and tangy. The masoor dal is so delicious, flavourful and filling and the dal does not need any side dish to complete it.
In the past, I made Fara (Phara) for Blogging Marathon and I had a list of the dishes that I wanted to make but unfortunately, I cannot find it now. Anyway will get down to what I want to try later.
I do have a collection of dals that may interest Everyday Dal Recipes| Collection of Dal Recipes
The other dishes using masoor you may want to look at are
Right now let us enjoy Khatte Masoor Dal with Steamed rice ...
So the main ingredients are whole masoor, curds. The rest you can add or reduce as you wish.
You can use tamarind also to make the dal but then it tastes different from this one. Trust me I make the tamarind one on a regular basis.

That looks delicious. I love masoor dal and gravies that are curd based so this dish is just right for me. Mildly spiced and full of flavours as I can see from the recipe. A Great share.

Dal looks lovely.. I love any kind of dal preparation.

I make masoor dal often but definitely will have to try the khatta version. Must be so tasty... but then I love yogurt in anything.

I often make khatta mag(moong) Gujarati style. Will have to give this katte masoor dal a try. Sounds so flavourful.

Thanks, Mayuri.
Neha says
This Katte masoor dal must be so flavorful. I love to give twists to regular dal recipes for a change. Will try your version too. I will pair it with paratha or rumali roti. Rice too would go well as you rightly mentioned.
ArchanaPotdar says
Hmm! I didi not think of Rumali roti but yes that will be lovely too. Thanks.
Seema Sriram says
This is a delicious recipe. I love a bit of sourness to the dal with the yogurt added. It also makes it creamy.
ArchanaPotdar says
😀 Thanks.
