Bengali Recipies
Here are two great recipes that a Bengali Friend of mine gave me.
The Lentil dish is actually a meal in itself.
Hanif's Beef Curry Recipe
In saucepan:	3 Tbs. vegetable oil
		1 med. onion (chopped)
		2 garlic cloves
While frying above, measure spices:
		1/4 tsp. tumeric
		1/4 tsp. red papper
		1 tsp. ginger
		1-1/2 tsp. coriander
		1 tsp cumin
Make sure that the onions don't burn; when slightly brown add spices and
1/2 cup of water; stir until throughly mixed.
Add 1 pound of stewing beef (trimmed of excess fat), and stir until
the spices tend to stick to the bottom of the pan.
With hot water ready, add 2 cups to beef.  Medium Heat. Cover Pan.
When beef is almost tender (this will take about and hour, check water
level if almost dry add 1/2 cup water) add:
		1 large potato
		1/2 tsp. salt
		2 cardamon seeds
		5 black peppercorns
		1/2 cinnamon stick
		1 large (or 2 small) bay leaves
		2 whole cloves.
Cook until beef and potatoes are done.  Eat with rice or Syrian bread.

Hanif's Lentils Recipe
3/4 c. lentils
6 c. hot water
1/2 med. chopped onion
1 tbs. vegetable oil
1/8 tsp tumeric.
Boil above for 30 min. over high heat.  Beat with an egg beater,
if the lentils are still too hard cook for another 15 min.
Next and 1 large tomato and 1 tsp. of salt.
In frying pan:
2 tbsp. oil, butter, or margarine
other 1/2 of med onion (chopped)
mushrooms (optional)
2 cloves of garlic
2 unbroken hot peppers
When onions are brown add 1/2 tsp of whole cumin.  Pour lentils
into  a frying pan and then replace into original pan.  Cook for 5 min.
Enjoy
