Rajasthani Panchmel daal- Mixed lentils cooked with select vegetables and spices with wheat and gram flour flat bread – from Uttar Pradesh (India)
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.

Notes
Note-

2-You can also make this without adding vegetables but addition of vegetables make it more healthy and delicious.

Bookmarked. Want to have this right now, even though I have finished dinner…
thank you very much. i will use lemon.
@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
if we don't have karonda what can we use?
Looks very tempting.. about your comment on fennel seeds in cutlet, its quite common in Kerala to add fennel to cutlet, channa dal vada (called masala vada) etc
healthy..delicous n perfect meals….lov d combo!
Healthy daal and love the use of karonda if I am not wrong in Bengali it is called karomcha and it gives a little tangy taste! Very delicious and super combo!
