HOW TO MAKE RAJASTHANI PANCHMEL DAL?

RAJASTHANI PANCHMEL DAL- A HEARTY DAL WITH A MEDLEY OF 5 LENTILS. PART OF DAL, BAATI, CHURMA

Rajasthani Panchmel Dal, as the name suggests, is a dish from Rajasthan. This Panchmel dal is a hearty protein rich recipe that involves five types of lentils or dals. This is typically a part of the Dal, Baati and Churma platter.

I had visited a Marwari friend’s house for lunch a few months back. And she had made this delicious platter along with a lip smacking tangy tomato chutney. We gorged on several helpings of baati dripping in ghee along with this luscious Panchmel dal and the churma. The tanginess of the chutney lent a fine balance to the meal.

I was so smitten by the meal that i recreated it at home. And this Panchmel dal appeared on the menu too. I m including the short video clip that i posted on Instagram for making this dal.
