This is an authentic Bengali cuisine made on festive occasions like Durga Puja, weddings, etc. The Bengal gram or the Chana dal is first soaked, then baked and later tempered with whole garam masalas like cloves, cinnamon, cardamon and bay leaf and finally to add to the richness, coconut, cashews and raisins are added along with a tsp of ghee. Unlike other dals, the consistency of the cholar dal is slightly thick and is best enjoyed with luchis/puris( deep fried puffed tortillas).
