Langar wali Daal/ Punjabi Maa Choley Ki Daal- Mildly spiced and creamy daal made with bengal gram and white lentils-specialty from Punjab

Langar wali daal is the most popular daal from the state of Punjab.Its quite heavy due to the addition of lots of butter and cream so this daal cant be made on daily basis.

Maa /maah / kaali dal is made with whole white lentil /sabut urad daal . Ginger and asafoetida is added to make it easy to digest. I have also posted the recipe of making delicious- Maa ki daal/Daal Makhani

This Lungar wali daal/maa choley ki daal is made with split urad daal /urad daal chilka and chana daal. This is a mildly spiced daal with minimum spice and little ghee or butter,so its not as heavy as maa ki daal. You can easily make it on a regular basis, in fact in Punjab its a regular in every kitchen.

Maa choley ki daal is also popular by the name Amritsari daal and langar wali daal as it is regularly served in the lungars of all Gurudwars .

You can adjust the spice level and thickness of this daal according to the consistency of your preference. If you want to serve with rice make it slightly thin and if you want to serve along with naan,roti or kulcha then make it slightly thick,tastes great both ways.

You need not to soak it overnight like the whole urad ,1/2 or 1 hours are enough to soak it so no  need of pre planning to make this simple,mild but flavorful daal . Make sure you don’t over cook maa choley ki daal otherwise it may become like a paste while simmering.

Love making different daals then do try these-

  • Lucknawi Daal
  • Gujarati Tuvar Daal
  • Rajasthani Navratna Daal
  • Daal Panchwati
  • Daal Makhni with Jeera Rice
  • Suva Moong Daal

    Hi,

    You have very nice recipes here. This one really looks very nice. Nice pics. Can you tell me if you use standard US cup measurements ? I have the std cup measures like 1 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/4 cup…so for this one should I measure 1/4 cup thrice to make 3/4 cup ? I'm not sure. Please let me know.

    Regards,
    Doreen
