I am amazed at the variety of dal recipes that we Indians come up with. We make dal just using one lentil, combination of 2 lentils and combination of many and final the variety which comes up is numerous like dal tadka, hyderabadi khatti dal, sai bhaji, dal maharani.So the search for other variety of dals continued and I saw the recipe of Khandeshi dal on Tarla dalal’s page. Intrigued by the name, I looked at the recipe and instantly loved it as it was way different from the regular dals.

This dal is said to have its origin in Jalgaon. It predominantly uses urad dal and is spicy with the overpowering flavour of dessicated coconut that is used. The masala that is used here is called as khandeshi masala and is very flavourful. Here we use, urad dal, green moong , masoor dal and channa dal and i have used sprouted moong since I had it in my fridge .

Except my daughter who is a great fan of dal makhni, we do not prefer urad dal and I was skeptical when I cooked this but both KK and anantha (my other daughter) loved it and enjoyed it thoroughly. This recipe is a keeper for sure
