Split urad dal is cooked until until about 80% ready. Then it&#8217;s added to a delicious masala to continue cooking until rish and creamy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve never made urad dal mash before, prepare to discover your new favourite dal recipe.About<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-what-is-urad-daal-mash-mash-ki-dal\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Urad Daal Mash &#8211; <em>Mash Ki Dal<\/em>?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urad dal mash is a traditional Pakistani lentil dish made using split and skinned black gram lentils, often referred to as white urad dal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The word &#8220;mash&#8221; refers to the type of lentil used rather than the texture of the finished dish. Although the lentils soften beautifully during cooking, they retain enough structure to provide body and character. I liken the finished texture to being similar to cooked rice. It has some bite but it is still very soft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike dal makhani, which is often enriched with cream and butter, urad dal mash relies on slow cooking and a simple masala base or sometimes a tarka poured over the top at the end to develop its flavour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is commonly served alongside rice, chapatis, naan or other curries and is enjoyed both as an everyday family meal and at special gatherings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"h-want-to-try-daal-mash-before-you-make-it\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to try Daal Mash before you make it?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the UK, you&#8217;re more likely to encounter urad daal mash in Pakistani restaurants than in traditional British Indian curry houses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Pakistani caf\u00e9s, restaurants and takeaways serve it as part of a daily special alongside dishes such as <a href=\"https:\/\/greatcurryrecipes.net\/2022\/11\/06\/beef-nihari\/\">nihari<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/greatcurryrecipes.net\/2023\/10\/19\/beef-haleem\/\">haleem<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/greatcurryrecipes.net\/2023\/03\/31\/chicken-karahi\/\">chicken karahi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s also popular in areas with large South Asian communities and can often be found at community events and family celebrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in North America, look for Pakistani-owned restaurants rather than generic Indian buffets, where <a href=\"https:\/\/greatcurryrecipes.net\/2011\/11\/21\/dal-makhani-recipe\/\">dal makhani<\/a> tends to dominate the menu.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh ingredients are key to getting the best flavour from this <strong>daal mash<\/strong> recipe.

At Pakistani restaurants, you will see a lot more ghee floating at the top because they use about twice as much as I did. You can reduce the amount of ghee even more if you like but the ghee makes this dal perfect for soaking up with naans and chapattis so I recommend using as much as I do or going all out and doubling it for the full experience.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"mv-create-times mv-create-times-3\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"mv-create-time-label mv-create-uppercase mv-create-strong\">Prep Time<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-time-format\"><span class=\"mv-time-part mv-time-minutes\">10 minutes<\/span> <\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"mv-create-time-label mv-create-uppercase mv-create-strong\">Cook Time<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-time-format\"><span class=\"mv-time-part mv-time-hours\">1 hour<\/span> <\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t<strong class=\"mv-create-time-label mv-create-uppercase mv-create-strong\">Total Time<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-time-format\"><span class=\"mv-time-part mv-time-hours\">1 hour<\/span> <span class=\"mv-time-part mv-time-minutes\">10 minutes<\/span> <\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-ingredients\">\n<h3 class=\"mv-create-ingredients-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n<div class=\"mv-create-ingredient-group\" data-ingredient-group=\"0\">\n<ul class=\"mv-create-ingredient-list\">\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"0\" data-ingredient-id=\"334418\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t125ml (1\/2 cup) ghee \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"1\" data-ingredient-id=\"334419\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t10 garlic cloves, skinned and sliced in half through the centre\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"2\" data-ingredient-id=\"334420\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00bd tsp ground turmeric\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"3\" data-ingredient-id=\"334421\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1L (4 cups) water\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"4\" data-ingredient-id=\"334422\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp salt\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"5\" data-ingredient-id=\"334423\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 cup white split urad lentil\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"6\" data-ingredient-id=\"334424\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 green bullet chillies, thinly sliced\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"7\" data-ingredient-id=\"334425\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFOR THE BASE MASALA\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"8\" data-ingredient-id=\"334426\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 cloves\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"9\" data-ingredient-id=\"334427\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t10 black peppercorns\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"10\" data-ingredient-id=\"334428\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 medium red onions\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"11\" data-ingredient-id=\"334429\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp salt\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"12\" data-ingredient-id=\"334430\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"13\" data-ingredient-id=\"334431\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp red chilli flakes\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"14\" data-ingredient-id=\"334432\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp ground cumin\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"15\" data-ingredient-id=\"334433\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp ground coriander\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"16\" data-ingredient-id=\"334434\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t200g chopped tomatoes or passata\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"17\" data-ingredient-id=\"334435\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t70ml (1\/4 cup) water\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"18\" data-ingredient-id=\"334436\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp kasoori methi\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"19\" data-ingredient-id=\"334437\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 tsp garam masala\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"20\" data-ingredient-id=\"334438\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSalt and pepper to taste\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"21\" data-ingredient-id=\"334439\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTO GARNISH\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"22\" data-ingredient-id=\"334440\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJulienned ginger\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"23\" data-ingredient-id=\"334441\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChopped chillies\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li data-ingredient-index=\"24\" data-ingredient-id=\"334442\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCoriander\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-instructions mv-create-instructions-slot-v2\">\n<h3 class=\"mv-create-instructions-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Instructions<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li data-step-index=\"0\" id=\"mv_create_1430_1\">Melt 4 tbsl of the ghee in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and fry it gently in the ghee until golden brown. Be careful not to burn the garlic. If it is getting too dark, take the pan off the heat.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"1\" id=\"mv_create_1430_2\">Add one litre (4 cups) of water and the turmeric and bring to a rolling simmer. Wash your urad dal in several changes of water and then add it to the simmering water with the salt and chillies. Bring back to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium and cook it gently for about 50 minutes or until almost cooked through.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"2\" id=\"mv_create_1430_3\">While the lentils are cooking, you can start preparing the base masala. In a high sided frying pan, Heat the remaining ghee over a medium-high heat. When the ghee begins to shimmer, stir in the cloves and black peppercorns. Let these spices flavour the ghee for about 30 seconds and then add the chopped onions and salt.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"3\" id=\"mv_create_1430_4\">Fry the onions in the ghee for about 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and soft. Then stir in the chilli powder, dried chilli flakes, cumin and ground coriander. Stir well to combine and then add the chopped tomatoes or passata.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"4\" id=\"mv_create_1430_5\">Stir in about 70ml (1\/4 cup) water to thin the sauce some. The base masala should be thick but soupy. When the lentils are about 80% cooked, strain them and add the lentils and all the other solids to the base masala and stir it all well to combine.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"5\" id=\"mv_create_1430_6\">Continue simmering over a medium heat until the lentils are soft like rice and creamy. You can add a drop more water to help do this but not too much.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"6\" id=\"mv_create_1430_7\">When the ghee begins to separate and rise to the top of the dal, add the kasoori methi by rubbing it between your fingers. Then sprinkle in the garam masala and season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"7\" id=\"mv_create_1430_8\">To serve, garnish with julienned ginger, chopped chillies, fresh coriander squeeze in lemon or lime juice at the table to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-products\">\n<h3 class=\"mv-create-products-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Recommended Products<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mv-create-affiliate-disclaimer\">As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-nutrition\">\n<p><h4 class=\"mv-create-nutrition-title mv-create-strong\"><span>Nutrition Information:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-yield\"><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase mv-create-strong\">Yield:<\/h4>\n<p> 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-serving-size \"><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase mv-create-strong\">Serving Size:<\/h4>\n<p> 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-amount\"><em>Amount Per Serving:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-calories\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Calories:<\/span> 128<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-total-fat\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Total Fat:<\/span> 3g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-saturated-fat mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Saturated Fat:<\/span> 2g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-unsaturated-fat mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Unsaturated Fat:<\/span> 2g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-cholesterol\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Cholesterol:<\/span> 6mg<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-sodium\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Sodium:<\/span> 848mg<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-carbohydrates\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Carbohydrates:<\/span> 22g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-fiber mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Fiber:<\/span> 7g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-sugar mv-create-nutrition-indent\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Sugar:<\/span> 4g<\/span><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-item mv-create-nutrition-protein\"><span class=\"mv-create-nutrition-label mv-create-uppercase\">Protein:<\/span> 6g<\/span>\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-social\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@TheCurryGuy\" title=\"Facebook Page: @TheCurryGuy\" class=\"mv-create-social-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><br \/>\n<\/a>\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"mv-create-social-content\">\n<h3 class=\"mv-create-social-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Did you like this recipe?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mv-create-social-body\">Please join me on Facebook where I share all my latest recipes and videos.
