Hello buddies. Today I am sharing with you a lip-smacking recipe of Urad Dal, Khandeshi Style. This recipe is from Jalgaon. It is spicy, flavorful and very simple to make. You don’t need any fancy ingredients or to go through a lengthy preparation procedure. The ingredients are simple and rustic. The main ingredient is the khandeshi garam masala. Each househild has their own recipe. You could also use kala masala that you usually have at home.

This urad dal recipe goes well with rice and rotis. I also had some fried chapati ribbons on the side. They taste great when dipped in dal.
