Masor Tenga

Masor Tenga is a traditional Assamese dish from India, featuring lentils cooked in a tangy, sour flavor. It typically uses split red lentils (masoor dal), treated with ingredients like sour mango, lemon, or tamarind to create a balanced taste. The dish is seasoned with spices such as turmeric and sometimes tomatoes, resulting in a flavorful, nutritious stew. Often enjoyed with rice, Masor Tenga highlights the region’s love for sour flavors and simple ingredients, offering a comforting, palate-refreshing experience rooted in Assamese culinary tradition.
