Moti mahal dal (Urad rajmah mix dal)
Also called: moti mahal dal, moti mahal, urad rajmah mix dal, urad rajma dal, moti mahal dal mix, moti mahal dal, moti mahal (urad+rajma)
Moti Mahal dal is that rich, creamy urad-rajmah mix dal you often get with roti, naan, or jeera rice at a restaurant-style meal. It’s hearty, slightly smoky-spiced, and has that proper “dhaba + butter” comfort feel that makes you want one more bite.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 bowl)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This dal is actually quite gut-friendly because urad whole and rajmah bring a solid 6.8g fiber per bowl, which helps bulk up stools and keeps digestion moving. The ginger, garlic, tomato, and onion add prebiotic support, while curd brings a little probiotic goodness if it’s freshly mixed in. Since rajmah and urad can feel heavy for some people, soaking and cooking them really well makes a big difference — and a small serving with roti or rice is usually easier on the tummy than eating a huge bowl alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is moti mahal dal healthy?
Yes, it can be a filling, balanced dal because one 200g bowl gives around 206 kcal, 7.8g protein, and 6.8g fiber. The only catch is the 11.4g fat, mostly from cream and added fat, so it’s more of a rich dal than a light everyday one.
How many calories are in 1 bowl of moti mahal dal?
One bowl of 200g moti mahal dal has about 206 calories. It also gives 7.8g protein and 6.8g fiber, so it is quite satisfying for the portion size.
Can diabetics eat moti mahal dal?
Yes, in a sensible portion, because the 17.4g carbs per bowl come with 6.8g fiber, which slows down the sugar spike a bit. Pair it with roti, salad, or vegetables, and avoid adding extra cream or butter on top.
Is moti mahal dal good for weight loss?
It can fit a weight loss plan if you keep the portion to one bowl, because it is filling and gives decent protein plus fiber. But since it has 11.4g fat per bowl, it’s better as an occasional rich dal rather than a daily heavy curry.
