    Dal Mixture Recipe | Bombay Mixture recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Dal mixture is made with combination of masoor dal and green gram dal. It is also called as Bombay mixture or dal moth mixture. I love this dal mixture more than South Indian Mixture. Process of preparation is also simple and less time consuming. One of the most common mixture made during Diwali. You can also make it as jar snacks and enjoy with evening Tea/Coffee.

    Planning to share Diwali recipes all through this month and next month. Monday again and theme for this week in FoodieMondayBloghop group is #267LusciousLentils suggested by Poonam who blogs at Annapurna. I made this mixture for Diwali series and it also perfectly matched with the theme. Check out the Moong dal halwa and many traditional recipes from Poonam's blog.  Stay tuned for more exciting recipes. Now let's check out how to make this Bombay Mixture.

      Interesting how you've fried both the moong and masoor dal together and also how you've used the split masoor instead of the whole one. A different version of the classic dal moth. It reminds me of my Father in law as he use to love dal moth with loads of cashew nuts.
