Mixed vegetable dal, a simple, everyday meal that can be served for lunch/dinner. Dal is an everyday dish in many Indian homes. It is one of the easiest way to include protein into our diet. For a vegetarian, it is one of the main protein source.

Apart from the nutrient part, it is one of the easiest dishes to make in your kitchen. With the variety of dals available in Indian cuisine, we can make a dal dish everyday, and not repeat the lentils used.

Mixed vegetable dal

I include variety of dals in my kitchen, Masoor dal, Chana dal, Moong dal, Chilke wali moong, Whole masoor dal, Whole moong, tuvar dal and the list goes on.

I like to mix and match dals whenever possible, particularly moong and masoor dal as they give a nice aroma and also the required creaminess to the final dish.

Vegetables used in the recipe

Today's recipe is a combined dal recipe with some mixed vegetables. I have used potato, carrots, cauliflower along with equal amounts of masoor and moong dal.

This dal recipe is my kids favorite. Whenever i don't have mood to cook an elaborate meal, i just make them this dal and serve it with rice. My elder one loves this dal and can eat it with almost everything , rice, roti even idly/dosa.

I served the above mixed vegetable dal with rice and dal lucknowi as a soup for a weekday lunch, a simple, yet comforting meal.

Try this simple, mixed vegetable dal and serve it with rice/roti, or even both. While serving with rice, add a generous drizzle of ghee for a divine taste.

    Mixed vegetable dal is one of the most fav dish of mine. use of masoor dal to make this is a lovely idea. Sambar powder addition must be adding extra flavor to the dal
