As a kid I don't like dal that much. My mom used to have very hard time to make me eat. To make me eat dal she tried her mom's (my grand mom's) recipe of this sweet and sour dal. That became my favourite dal. It is still my most favourite. This is a very authentic Odia recipe which runs in my maternal family.
