Sweet-and-Sour Dal Bhat

“In Gujarat, India, the traditional meal is dal bhat with lentils, rice, bread, and chaat,” says chef Vivek Surti of Tailor in Nashville, No. 7 on 2019’s Hot Ten list. “If you walked into my mother’s house, this is the dal bhat you’d eat. The dal is a little sweet with jaggery, a little spicy with green chiles, and a little sour with lime juice.” Together, they make for one intense interplay of aggressive flavors. To make it your own, experiment with the balance of those three elements—you might make it more sour, or very, very spicy depending on your palate and preferences.
