    Lachko Dal | Mag ni Dal

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Lachko Dal is a dal typically prepared to eat with Gujarati Kadhi and Rice. Traditionally made with Tur dal, I like to make this dal using yellow moong dal. It is a super easy, simple, and uber delicious recipe

    Lachko Dal

    What is Lachko Dal?

    Lachko Dal are boiled lentils with turmeric and salt. This dal is enjoyed with Kadhi Bhaat in Gujarati Culture. While Maharashtrians call this dal preparation Varan and enjoy it with Rice and ghee. My recipe is slightly different. I use Moong Dal instead of Tur Dal in this recipe and temper it with lots garlic. It gives a splendid kick to this dal and you will absolutely love it.

    Why Do I prefer to use Moong Dal instead of Tur Dal?

    Being a vegetarian, I like to include lentils in my everyday diet. For this reason I love to have a variety of lentils throughout the week. Gujarati dal is prepared using Tur Dal, so on days, when I make kadhi, I prefer to use moong dal.

    Is this Recipe Vegan?

    Abslutely. I use groundnut oil (peanut oil) for tempering this dal. If you are not vegan and prefer using ghee for tadka, you definitely can.

    Is Mag ni Dal Gluten Free?

    Yes, Mag ni dal is naturally Gluten-Free. If you want to make this recipe Gluten-Free, skip adding asafetida in the tempering.

    Ingredients to make Lachko Dal

    To start with, you need lentils. You can either use petit yellow lentils (yellow moong dal) as I have or you can use the Yellow Split Pigeon Peas (Tur Dal). You will need Turmeric and Salt to boil the dal. And for tempering, I prefer to use Groundnut oil, but you can use any oil of your choice. The tempering includes basic whole spices like cumin seeds, hing, dried red chilies, fresh green chilies, curry leaves, ginger-garlic and green chili paste, and a little bit of Kashmiri Red Chili Powder. Finally, Garnish with cilantro!

    Step By Step Recipe To Make Moong Dal

    Lachko Dal
    Add Moong dal to a bowl or directly in the pressure cooker. Wash and drain until the water is clear.
    Lachko Dal
    Now add water and turmeric.
    Lachko Dal
    Next goes in the salt. Secure the pressure cooker lid and cook it for 3 whistles. Let the pressure release naturally.
    Lachko Dal
    Prepare the tempering as per the instructions below in the recipe card and add it to the boiled dal.

      • 📌Air Fried Idlis📌

So many of you requested me to show you how I make air fried crispy idlis. Here’s how. But before that, my biggest tip to make these idlis is to use leftover idlis. 

I am using 6 leftover idlis, and for it I used 1 Tbsp oil. Lay them in a single layer in the air fryer, this will help them crisp up evenly. 

1. Cut the leftover idlis into equal sized wedges. 
2. Add them to a mixing bowl and add oil. Mix it with your hands. 
3. Preheat the Air Fryer on Roast setting for 400F for 1 minute.
4. Air fry the idlis in 2 batches, Add the idlis in a single layer and roast them at 400F for 12 mins. Give it a shake at 6 mins mark to make sure idlis crisp evenly.

      • Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story. 

I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side. 

I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU. 

So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten  better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

      • Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious! 

📌Recipe📌

🌱 For the Curry Base

• 1 Tbsp Oil
• 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
• 2 Green Cardamoms
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
• 1 Dried Red Chili
• 1 Medium Onion Sliced
• 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
• 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
• 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
• 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
• 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 8-10 Cashews

For The Curry

• 2 Tbsp Butter
• 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder 
• 1 Tsp Salt
• 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
• 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
• 1 Tsp Garam Masala
• 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
• Adjust Salt if needed

📌 step by step📌

1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown. 
3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften. 
4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base. 
5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency. 
6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt. 
7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft. 
8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
9. Serve hot!

      • Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again. 

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“ 

If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.

Add oil and create a marinade. To this add the plantain wedges. Coat them well in the marinade using your hands. Now preheat the airfryer for 1-2 minutes at 400F or 200C. Add the fries to the air fryer basket and air fry for 12 mins. Give these a quick shake at 6 mins to make sure they cook evenly. Enjoy!

      Sabr (patience) something that I never knew existed in me. Sabr is hard, yet it is beautiful. Beautiful when you get to tell your story.

      I never questioned once why me, when I went through losses, failed infertility treatments, bleeding disorders, and declining health. Until Inaaya was taken to the NICU to a completely different hospital. That’s when I asked why her. There is still so much that I haven’t shared. But, yet the only thing that helped me sail through everything was patience, my will to take one day at a time. Through all the downfalls, I have risen stronger, wiser, more confident, but most of all grateful for the ones who truly never left my side.

      I am glad I shared my infertility and IVF journey. It has helped so many of you and me. It is a true honor for me to read your stories, to see the photos to your miracle babies, and so many of you messaged me encouraging words with your own experiences with NICU.

      So if you are going through any hard times, things get better. Have faith in time. It is easy to say than do, but I have been there on the path of grief a couple of times now. Time will bring you the things you deserve. If you are grieving, time will help you teach to live with it, channel it. It might take some help from an outsider. I am proud of myself to seek therapy when I needed it. It has helped me channel my big emotions and very big feelings in the right way. I still have my days, when I spend all my time in bed, watching tv endlessly, eating in bed, tears rolling out for reasons I can’t explain. But I am have gotten better since past couple years. My two girls, Luna and Inaaya never fail to show me love, kindness and grace.

      Matar Paneer and Garam Garam Tandoori Roti! A meal that will always be my favorite and nostalgic. My mom used to make matar paneer, whenever I would invite my friends over, or she wants to treat us for a restaurant style dinner at home. This matar paneer is so easy to make and so delicious!

      📌Recipe📌

      🌱 For the Curry Base

      • 1 Tbsp Oil
      • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
      • 2 Green Cardamoms
      • 1 Bay Leaf
      • 1 Small Cinnamon Stick
      • 1 Dried Red Chili
      • 1 Medium Onion Sliced
      • 1 Big RomaTomato Sliced
      • 4-5 Garlic cloves chopped
      • 1/2 Inch ginger chopped
      • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
      • 1/2 Tsp Dhanyajeera Powder
      • 1/4 Tsp Turmeric
      • 1 Tsp Salt
      • 8-10 Cashews

      For The Curry

      • 2 Tbsp Butter
      • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Ted Chili Powder
      • 1 Tsp Salt
      • 250 Gms Paneer Cubed
      • 1/2 Cup Fresh/ Frozen Green Peas
      • 1 Tsp Garam Masala
      • 1 Tsp Crushed Kasuri Methi
      • Adjust Salt if needed

      📌 step by step📌

      1. To a frying pan add oil, cumin seeds, dried red chili, green cardamom, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Let the cumin seeds splutter and add sliced onions. 2. Saute the onions until they soften and add ginger garlic. Saute everything until golden brown.
      3. Add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, dhanyajeera turmeric, salt and cashews. Cook until tomatoes soften.
      4. Let it cool down. Take the bay leaf out. And now add the prepared masala to a blender. Blend into a curry base.
      5. Add butter to the pan. To this add kashmiri red chili powder, and add the preppared curry base. Add splash of water to adjust the consistency.
      6. Add a tsp of sugar to balance the flavors. And adjust the salt.
      7. Let it cook for a minute and add cubed paneer and peas. I like to soak store bought paneer in hot water for 10-15 mins before adding it to the curries. This makes the paneer very soft.
      8. Add garam masala and kasuri methi. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and cream.
      9. Serve hot!

      Life isn’t easy on any of us. We all battle our own struggles and this was mine. Inaaya is my fierce and warrior child. She was worth the wait. She came into my life when I needed her the most. When I was broken to the point where healing didn’t seem to be in the horizon. She knows to constantly remind of the love I craved for years. Inaaya means gift of god. She is the light of our lives, she is my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Someone has rightly said, a quote I go back to again and again.

      “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option“

      If you are in a similar situation as I was, know that there is light at the end of tunnel, and everything happens for a reason.
