Urad daal- Stir fried white lentil in mild spices

Urad Daal- Punjabi cuisine is very popular for the variety of thick and creamy lentils .Though all the lentils are used in Punjab but the most popular is chana daal and urad daal, all forms of WHITE LENTIL  is used in their cuisine,whole lentil ,split and washed one are cooked to make different varieties.

Daal makhni  is the most popular daal world wide now, Tadka daal , Daal fry and Maa choley ki daal are  my favourite daal.
To make perfect punjabi sookhi urad daal ,the daal should be boiled Al dent then it is tempered in tomato and spices .

Don,t over cook the daal while boiling else it will become mushy while adding in the tempering.It is best served with hot tandoori roti or parathas.
