    Dal varieties 

    Traditionally panchratna dal is prepared with an equal amount of 5 dal varieties. You can alter the quantity according to family preference

    Can I pressure cook onion, and tomato with dal

    Traditionally, onion, garlic, and tomatoes are sauteed, and then cooked dal is added, but for homestyle dal, to save time, you can cook everything together. Texture and flavor might vary slightly.

    can I skip onion and garlic?

    They help for digestion and also give Nice flavor so I recommend them but for no onion no garlic style Rajasthani Panchmel dal  skip

    Why Kashmiri chilli powder?

    it makes kids spice-friendly versions of dal and also gives amazing color to the dal. If you are using regular chilli powder, reduce spice accordingly 

    serving option

    Dal tastes best with jeera rice. You can also serve it with other pulao varieties. It also goes well with the chappati and paratha varieties.

    Instant pot dal

    Pressure cook for 10 minutes and follow the rest of the steps.

    tadka options

    • For lasooni dal, temper with garlic
    • Use red chilli or chilli powder
    • You can add curry leaves for homestyle dal
