"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
Khatti dal is the quintessential comfort food in our household. Khatti dal is a must have with rice after a long trip away from home or with my favorite Aloo-methi sabzi.
Khatti is Hindi for sour, but don't worry, you can adjust the sour flavor to your taste.
