Mah Di Dal

on

We are all facing a lot of problems due to the COVID outbreak. Most of us are living with their families and are at ease but this post is dedicated to those people who could not get back home. This is a crucial time for independent people facing difficulties in preparing their own meal. This is a very easy step by step recipe for Mah ki Dal. It will revive your taste buds and set aside your craving for Ghar ka Khana.
NOTE: 

  1. You must not confuse Mah ki Dal with Dal Makhni as Maa ki Dak or Kali dal is made from Urad dal only. It is not a heavy dish as it has no extra cream or butter added to it whereas, Dal Makhni is made from a mix of whole urad dal, kidney beans (rajma). It is a heavy dish as it is made with butter and cream (Makhan). 
  2. The taste of pressure cooked Maa ki Dal is not compromised as it tastes the same as the traditional style Maa ki Dal, which is simmered overnight to get the unique flavour. Maa ki dal tastes best with Paranthas, Jeera rice, Butter naan and Lachcha Pranthas.
