Lauki Chana Dal
Lauki Chana ki dal ki sabzi originated in India and is a simple meal that is exotic in flavours and popular throughout different parts of the country. If you’re trying to keep your lauki chana dal recipe more traditional, you can make it using just the lauki and chana dal. But these days, households get creative with their cooking by adding potatoes and a variety of vegetables to enhance the flavo ... ur. The recipe is made by first soaking the dal overnight to reduce the cooking time. Vegetables are sautéed on high flame with tomato, garlic cloves and other Indian spices mixed in. The dal and vegetables are poured into a pressure cooker where it is cooked to completion. A typical portion of our lauki chana dal recipe will serve around two to three people but you can cook in batches and make more if you want. We recommend garnishing the dal using chopped coriander leaves and red chilli powder. Make sure you cook the dal until the tomatoes turn soft in the cooker. You can serve it as a part of your main course on the menu or pair it with brown rice and fresh salads for a filling meal. For the garnish, you can also use mint leaves instead of coriander for a fresh taste. Bon appetit!
