Panchmel Dal (5 kinds of lentils mix)

panchmel_dal_main

Panchmel” means the mix of five. . As the name suggests it is a combination of five different dals flavourfully tempered. This recipe is traditionally made with the five very commonly used lentils in India. This is the protein-packed Rajasthani Dal recipe. Its texture is rich and creamy.  This healthy recipe is really easy to make.

I have used Mung, green whole Mung, Toor, Chana and whole Masoor dal. Green mung needs to be soaked overnight, alternately you can use Urad dal to replace Green mung too.

This lentil recipe is best served with roti/parantha/ nan and rice.
