Daal Maash is white skinless urad dal  cooked in aromatic  spices. A delicious side dish which goes well with some butter naan, roti or parathas.

Daal Maash

Whenever ammi cooked urad daal, and all of our faces used to be not again. Though we all four were fan of her cooking but there were some dishes  , which we didn’t like at all. Daal Maash was one of them.  At home this daal was only cooked when the option in the pantry were limited to daal or when papa specially requested her to make it. He loved this Bhuni Daal.

.But now I have kind of developed a taste for this Daal Maash. For this I give the whole credit to my  neighbor Mehfooza Aunty. Her way of cooking daal  maash was completely different from Ammi’s way.  Today I am sharing her recipe. First of all , we need to soak the dal for at least  3 hours. Overnight soaking is also fine. Then we boil the urad daal with turmeric , green chilly paste and salt until three fourth cooked.And later cooked in spices. To the recipe

One thought on “Daal Maash/ Bhuni Urad Dal

  1. Once while wondering what to have for lunch, my Pakistani office boy suggested mash ki daal. I wondered what it was till I got it in my hand and I told her, "ye to urad daal hai!" We only use urad dal in our idlis, dosas and tempering, nothing else! So I was pleasantly surprised and even more regarding the taste of that dish. Seeing your recipe is making me want to try this at home soon... I am pinning this up...
