Mix Dal tadka

#mixdaltadkadifferentversion#

Mix Dal tadka is nothing but different kinds of Dal mixed in different proportions and cooked with adding masalas.

Dal is good for health, helps in digestion, rich in fibre, and is a very good source of protein especially for vegetarians.

We include Dal everyday in our meal. On daily basis, I make plane tur Dal.
So, sometimes to bring a change in my menu and provide different varieties and taste I keep on making mix Dal which gives a special look to my lunch/dinner.
It's very easy to make. Sharing the recipe:

-1/4 cup black Urad Dal (split)
