Chawli dal
Chawli Dal is a cremish colored lentil with a prominent black mark in its inner curve. They may be cooked as dal or just boiled to a thick consistency and mixed with diced tomatoes, onions and salt for a snack. This is due to its taste even without addition of any spices. It needs to be soaked for 4-5 hours and then pressure cooked. It turns brown on cooking.
