Hariyanvi mixed dal is a tasty accompaniment with any meal. One can serve it with hot phulkas or parathas. Serve it with hot steamed rice and you have a soul food.
I recently joined Shhhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge Group on Facebook led by Mayuri Patel. Every month a particular regional cuisine is selected as the theme. Participants are in pairs and they give two secret ingredients to their partner, thus, it seems an interesting challenge here. The theme for this month is the Hariyanvi cuisine and my partner is Jagruti of Jagruti’s Cooking Odyssey She has a huge variety of vegetarian dishes on her blog, do check it. She had given me mixed dal (tur, moong and masoor) and ghee. And here is my recipe, doesn’t that sound good?

Mixed dal is a favourite weekday meal at our place. Adding curd is a new and interesting idea for me. Next time will cook it with your recipe.

Addition of curd to dal, I have never heard of. It must have imparted desirous tanginess to dal.
Yes, Ritu. It did taste good.
A bowl of protein rich goodness. Love the colour you have got for the dal!
