Dall Makhni

Dal Makhani is a classic North Indian dish made from black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma), simmered in a creamy and flavorful tomato-based sauce. The lentils and beans are typically cooked slowly with aromatics like onions, garlic, and ginger, along with a blend of spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. Butter and cream are added towards the end of cooking to give the dish its rich and velvety texture. Dal Makhani is often garnished with cilantro and served with rice or Indian breads like naan or roti, making it a comforting and wholesome vegetarian dish.
