the recipe for dal pakwan can be time-consuming, given the fact that you have to begin with deep fried puri and dal preparation. also, you may extend if you do not have the store bought chutney recipes like imli chutney and green chutney. but certainly once prepared, it will justify the energy spent on preparing it with your first bite. but if you still feel it is over-work, than there is a workaround for it. basically, you can prepare the fried puri’s, chutneys and dal separately. in other words, prepare the puri’s and chutney’s well ahead in advance and prepare the chana dal when you wish to serve or consume. alternatively, you can opt for store-bought puri and chutney, but i would discourage it for obvious reasons of preservatives.
