The picture seems to look like chana dal.<br />I too thought shrimp for 'jhinge' till I read further and found it was another name for good old tori! I am always looking for new ways to cook tori. Not too long ago I came upon a recipe of tori with masoor dal in the Hyderabadi style; very good!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002754872631420601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-85956004137220810272012-09-24T23:53:39.160-04:002012-09-24T23:53:39.160-04:00Way to go Soma...Really very good recipe.

Thanks for your inspiration. It means a lot to me. <br /><br />@Vani and Lubna:You are right, as Sandeepa said, Jhinga is shrimp and Jhinge is ridge gourd. A long time ago, somebody was really offended to see a 'jhinge' recipe on the vegetarian column in the Sunday Telegraph magazine.
