Mokali dal is a traditional authentic Maharashtrian recipe. Mokali Dal is distributed as Prasad on the day of Ganapati visarjan, Anant chaturdashi or on the evening of Mangalagauri. It is a nice side dish too.
During Ganpati festival we generally offered sweet Prasad to Ganpati Bappa, but at the last day of festival, according to our tradition we offer spicy and tasty dal Prasad with Modak to Lord Ganesha. Today I am sharing this traditional spicy and tasty Mokali Dal.
