Unlike other lentil preparations which usually have a soup-like consistency, today’s lentil recipe is dry and a very common dish in Punjabi homes. Not only is it incredibly delicious and nutritious but it is super easy to make! This recipe uses dhuli urad. It is the white version of skinless and split black lentils or sabut (whole) Urad.
This recipe makes a perfect side dish with any gravy, salad, and chapatti.

It can be eaten alone as a hot soup, or piled on rice, with some salad and vegetable dish on the side to make it a complete meal.
