MAH-CHANE KI DAL/PUNJABI MA-CHOLE KI DAL/पंजाबी मां-छोलयां दी दाल

This Punjabi specialty MA-CHOLE ki dal is a regular everyday lentil preparation in common households. This dal is a combination of two dals..chana dal and the split black urad dal.

Urad dal is called ma or mah dal in Punjabi kitchens. A tadka of some aromatics like ginger, garlic, onions, and green chilly is a must to lift its flavour and aroma. This dal is prepared with an extra quantity to eat in the next morning breakfast with ghee-loaded parathas. MA-CHOLE ki dal and the plain lachha parathas make a great combination (my Punjabi geans😋). Feeling pleasure to share the easy pressure-cooked recipe with all my readers. Hope you would definitely give a try to this extraordinary tasty dal and yes! one more thing.. a dollop of homemade white butter in the bowl of piping hot dal is just incredible😍
