Panchmel Dal

Week 4 Day 2  of BM #57 -

Today check out this ever so popular dal from the Western part of India. My brother boasts that this is one dal which he can cook to perfection. I had prepared this meal as part of a Maharashtrian meal.

Ingredients - 

Toor Dal 3 Tbsp
Chana Dal 3 Tbsp
Moong Dal 3 Tbsp
Masoor Dal 3 Tbsp
Urad Dal 3 Tbsp
Salt, Green chilies, Turmeric as needed
Coriander Cumin Powder 1 tsp, Garam Masala 1/4 tsp mixed in 2 Tbsp of water
Lemon Juice as needed
Seasoning(Cooking Oil 2 tsp, Mustard Seeds 1/2 tsp, Cumin Seeds 1/2 tsp, Asafoetida 1/4 tsp)


Maharashtrian Thali

Method Of Preparation -


Wash all the Dals and pressure cook adding about 2 cups of water.

After the pressure is released from the cooker, mash the dal.

In a heated pan, add oil and add the rest of the seasoning ingredients.

After the mustard seeds pop, add the coriander-cumin powder and garam masala mixed in water to the seasoning.

Allow it to sizzle for a few seconds and pour it into the dal.

Sprinkle salt and let the dal simmer for a few minutes.

Remove from heat and squeeze in some lemon juice.

Serve it with Rice for a comforting meal.
