Hot Dogs with Dal and Red-Onion Raita Recipe | Epicurious - 万博官网,万博亚洲正规品牌,manbetx苹果下载

An all-new version of franks and beans: The dogs are topped with lentils and an innovative take onraita, India's ubiquitous yogurt-based condiment. If youd like to use naan (tandoor-baked flatbread) instead of hot dog buns, look for it at Trader Joe's stores—in both the bakery and the frozen foods aisle—or at Indian markets.

Dal:

1/2 cup green or brown lentils

2 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Surprisingly good! I followed the advice of another reviewer and made a more complex dal (more spices, onion, also jalepeno pepper and bay leaf). I also substituted low-fat yogurt for whole milk yogurt in the raita, and just left out the lemon juice since it was a thinner consistency already. Also used chicken sausages instead of beef hot dogs. Turned out great!

Sounds odd but this was really good. I altered it slightly because this dal recipe is a bit too simple (I started by sauteeing a bit of onion in oil, then added garam masala, cayenne, the turmeric, whole cumin seeds - I then made added the lentils and water to simmer as directed). I also added more yogurt than called for. Very yummy!

Seriously? I made the raita and dal which were just ok but I refuse to waste them by putting them on a hot dog. WTF Bon Appetit?? I'd expect this from BH&G but not YOU!
