Langarwali dal is a delicious, protein packed dal served at the Langar in the Golden temple in Amritsar. Since this dal is served regularly in Langars or in Dhabas in Gurudwaras, this dal is called as Langarwali dal.This ultimate dal dish calls for Whole urad dal aka whole black gram and channa dal cooked with simple spice powders. Definitely a fabulous dal to give a try without any fail if you love dal based dishes in your weekly menu. This thick flavourful Maa choley ki dal is quite a different from the popular Punjabi Dal Makhni. Both Whole urad dal and channa dal are slow cooked for making this lipsmacking dal. Soaked dals cooked in a open deep pan with usual spice powders makes this delicious dal. But still for easy cooking, i used pressure cooker method which helps a lot to dish out this extremely delicious dal with less efforts.
Am running this week's blogging marathon with Dazzling dals as theme, after two delicious dals from Punjabi and Awadh cuisine, am taking you all again to Punjab. This Langarwali dal is served in Gurudwara temples for the meal along with hot rotis. This lipsmacking dal is just prefect to enjoy with hot piping rice served along with papads or pickles. However we enjoyed having this nutritious dal with rotis for our dinner and we loved it completely. I bookmarked this dal dish from Priya's Space during the last Mega marathon, obviously when i picked dazzling dals as theme, the first dish i dished out was this delicious Maa Choley ki dal aka Langarwali Dal.
1/2cup Whole black grams/Whole urad dal
1/4cup Channa dal/Bengal gram
1no Tomato (chopped)
1tsp Ginger (grated)
1/4tsp Chilly powder
1/2tsp Coriander powder
1/2tsp Cumin seeds
2 Green chillies (slit opened)
Salt
Oil
Soak the urad dal overnite and the channa dal for an hour. Wash the dals thoroughly and pressure cooker both together for 3-4 whistles.
Heat a pan, let crack the cumin seeds, add the slit opened green chillies and saute for a while.
Add the grated ginger and saute until a nice aroma comes from.
Add immediately the tomatoes and cook until they turns mushy, now add the chilly powder, coriander powder, salt.
Add the cooked dal, enough water and bring everything to boil.
Once the dal turns thicks put off the stove.
Serve hot with rice or rotis.

This is one dal that I make regularly as hubby and I just love it. Love your preparation. Looks so delicious.
I have never used whole urad for dal preparation. But paired with channa dal this must be delicious. Bookmarked.
Never heard about it and this is absolutely delicious. SImple and rich, as Valli mentions Awadhi cuisine is unique in its own.
