Rajasthani Panchmel Dal, also known as Panchratna Dal, is a traditional lentil dish from Rajasthan. It is made using five different types of lentils—moong, masoor, chana, toor, and urad dal—cooked together with aromatic spices. The dal is tempered with ghee, garlic, cumin seeds, and dried red chilies for added flavor. It is a rich, nutritious, and hearty dish, commonly served with roti or rice. The dish is known for its robust and earthy taste, often enjoyed during special occasions and meals.
