Watli dal or Watali Dal this simple and delicious vegan dish, a bit on the dry side but when served with Aam Panhe it is a combo you will love. Hello, and welcome to The Mad Scientist’s Kitchen, Reinventing the Foodie in you! Looking for delicious and easy dishes to serve as a snack? Come with me for today I have twisted a traditional recipe to suit our needs. I urge you to subscribe to our newsletter so that you get all our posts. We will not spam you, promise and the subscribe link is below or on the sidebar too!
Watli dal is a Maharashtrian snack made by grinding soaked Bengal Gram lentil with some basic spices and then frying/ roasting it till it is quite dry. This yummy dal though I found a bit dry I loved it when my Mother-in-law made it. It had a different taste I will never be able to duplicate.
This dal is served warm for Haldi Kumkum with Aam Panhe. Haldi Kumkum is a ceremony where married ladies are greeted with haldi and vermilion, offered all the auspicious symbols of a married woman.
As different as chalk and cheese will be my first thought.
Though I have used the word Chana dal or Bengal Gram Dal through out the recipe today I have used moong dal or Split Yellow Lentil. The rest of the procedure is the same. This recipe I had posted on 5th of Oct, 2017 today I am updating it with new pictures and making it with moong dal.
These are the ingredients you will need the measures I have detailed in the recipe card. These are the traditional ingredients.
Today I have used moong dal or split yellow lentil for making my Watli dal. The method of making the recipe is the same. So shall we jump into steps of the recipe?

Watli dal what an amazing name for a dish.. but yes it translates as ground dal. Interesting snack option and healthy too. With coconut added to it, am sure it tastes delicious. I'm going to try this recipe out for my evening snack.

Very similar to Paruppu Usli, yet deliciously different. I like that ginger hit and coconut here and that it is made with Moong dal... yum...
