Daal Makhni

Dal Makhani is a rich and creamy lentil dish from North India, made with whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma), slow-cooked to perfection. The lentils are simmered in a flavorful blend of spices, including cumin, garam masala, ginger, and garlic, and are then enriched with butter and cream, giving the dish its signature smooth, velvety texture. Often garnished with fresh cilantro, Dal Makhani is a hearty, indulgent dish that is typically served with naan, roti, or steamed rice, and is a popular choice in Indian cuisine, especially for festive meals and special occasions.
