Dhaba Style Mixed Dal

The mixed Dal is creamy, spicy and flavored. Mostly served in restaurants and Punjabi Dhabas. The mixed dal has five different dals or lentils. The dhaba or roadside hotels usually make this with chana dal, tuvar dal and urad dal. I have included two more dals , moong dal, masoor dal. This dal is tastier and goes well with Roti, Poori and steamed rice as well.
