If you ever been to Punjab from Delhi you may see endless number of Dhabas where you can find typical Punjabi food like Dal Makhani , Matar Paneer , Chole Bahature , Rajma Chawal , Lassi Malai mar ke , Tandoori Roti etc . Out of all these dishes there is one famous dal recipe which I would like to mention in my post i.e Urad Dal . It’s one simple and delicious dal that is often served in Punjabi Thali with Poori , Paratha or Kulchas. Whenever we went to Jalandhar, Punjab, We would always stop at one famous Dhabha called Sukehdev da Dhabha in Murthal that is few km ahead from Panipat and always had our late night dinner there. We always bought some Pachranga Achaar and many other vadis and spices. Those late night long journeys , oh ! I missed them .
Coming back to our recipe , there are many variation of this dal in every other family. I decided to post this recipe from a cook book Good Mood Food . This is for alphabet “U” under Regional theme for the ABC cooking series of Blogging Marathon #32.So let’s start the recipe .yum
