Panchmel daal / mixed daal is a specialty of the state of Rajasthan, though Daal is a favorite of every Indian family.Every state have their special favorites and different way of making daal.
Panchmel daal- is again a very popular combination of mix daal and missi roti (tik-kar) which is very popular in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan .It is also a very favorite combo meal of my Chaturvedi community usually served with baati or missi roti.
To make panchmel daal Selected five lentils are cooked with few vegetables and spices and served with a dry potato subzi,pickle, green chutney and missi roti / tikkar(tik-kar).Addition of five lentils gives it the name panchratna. This Panchmel daal goes well with missi roti ,roti, baati, litti and steamed or jeera rice.

Maayeka says
@Anonymous-Karonda give sourness,so if you don't have,then can use starfruit(kamrakh),if you don't have both then no problem,just adjust the amount of lemon juice according to your taste
