Vegetarian Dhansak Dal Recipe

Hello friends,

I have been getting many requests from my vegetarian foodie friends to share a veg version of the dhansak daal. So here I am today to cook up an equally tasty vegetarian masala dhansaak dal you can savour with brown rice and cacchumber.

There is alot of nutrition value in the dal due to the added vegetables so don't  strain out the dal after boiling to retain all the fibre.



Ingredients

For Dal 

1 cup tuvar dal
1/2 cup masoor dal
1/2 cup channa dal
1 potato
1/4 doodhi ( bottle gourd)
1 meduim sized brinjal
