To prepare the dhal, rinse lentils and place in medium saucepan. Add 2½ cups water, cumin and turmeric and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until lentils are tender, about 35 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid. Mash lentils to a coarse sauce, adding reserved cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if very thick. Season with coarse salt and pepper. Set aside. While the dhal is cooking, make the raita. Combine all the raita ingredients and mix well. Set aside for 30 minutes. Arrange buns or bread on plates. Top each with grilled hot dog, dhal and raita. Serve with lemon wedges. |
