About Mixed Vegetable Dal

Ingredients

Nutrient values

This irresistible Mixed Vegetable Dal is a chock-full of nutritious vegetables like kaddu, gavarfali and baingan along with a combination of toovar and masoor dals, which makes a wholesome meal in its own right. Instead of cooking the vegetables in oddles of oil, we have cooked them in water to reduce the use of oil, and to retain more of the nutrients. The amount of jaggery used in this recipe is also less as compared to other sweet dals.

It's a dal but due to the addition of loads of fibre rich veggies, when it's paired with whole wheat chapatis, a small portion of brown rice and raita makes a healthy meal by itself.
