Dal is a ready source of proteins for a balanced diet. . Panch means five, and this recipe uses five daals. Its unique taste comes from the combination of five different daals. Add a dazzle of butter at the end to give better taste. The particular Daal is one of my favorites.
For Low fat substitute: Avoid butter and instead of ghee use oil for tadka.
