Dal Makhani Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup whole black lentils (urad dal) (wash & soaked)
1/4 cup kidney beans (rajma) (wash & soaked)
1/4 cup split chickpeas (chana dal) (wash & soaked)
Water
2 bay leaves
1 cinnamon stick
1 black cardamom
Salt (to taste)
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
2 green chilies, finely chopped
1-inch piece of ginger, finely chopped
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
2 tomatoes, pureed
1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons fresh cream
Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine urad dal and rajma. Add water and wash them by rubbing them between your palms 3-4 times until the water runs clear. Let them soak for 7-8 hours.
In another bowl, add chana dal, wash, and soak for 2-3 hours.
Cooking the Lentils:
After soaking, add the soaked urad dal, rajma, and chana dal into a pressure cooker.
Add water, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, black cardamom, and salt to taste.
Pressure cook the dal over high flame for 4-5 whistles.
Switch off the flame and let the cooker depressurize naturally.
Preparing the Dal Makhani:
Heat a copper kadhai or any deep-bottomed pan. Add oil and ghee.
Add chopped green chilies, ginger, and garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
Add tomato puree, Kashmiri red chili powder, and salt to taste. Cook until the rawness of the tomatoes disappears.
Add the boiled lentils and simmer for at least 10-15 minutes.
Add milk. The creamy texture of the dal comes from the milk.
Crush the kasuri methi between your palms and add it to the dal. Cook on low flame for half an hour.
Final Touches:
Once the dal has thickened after simmering for 25 minutes, add butter and fresh cream.
Cook for another 5-10 minutes.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish the dal makhani with a dollop of butter, fresh cream, and chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with roti or naan.
Enjoy your delicious Dal Makhani!
