Dal Pakwan recipe (दाल पकवान) by Arpit , Published: March 25, 2014





Dal Pakwan an easy and mouthwatering breakfast recipe. Dal pakwan can be described in English something like Crispy savoury bread with sweet and sour lentil soup.

My grandfather and dad often tells us that today’s breakfast usually consists of toasts, bread butter jam or kellogs with tea or coffee. Where as they are fond of Fafda, Jalebi, Dal Pakwan, etc. I had Dal Pakwan many times outside with my friends and I really love them. Today when my Grandpa and my dad visited us, thought of cooking them one of our favourite breakfast Dal Pakwan.

The main magical ingredient which I used in my Dal Pakwan is “Tari” what we call it as a Tomato chutney with lots of Red chillies in it.
