Fish Gravy with Black Lentils | Northeast Indian Recipes

Описание: Black gram/lentil, also known as kalai or mati mah or kalo dal, is probably the only lentil that tribals from North East India have been growing since times unknown and is highly valued.
A traditional platter is incomplete without a black lentil recipe with fish/meat (fried or dry fish) be it with khar or tempered with onions.
The dish has a very strong earthy flavor and simple to cook however roasting and pounding definitely plays a vital role on how the entire dish eventually tastes .
