Dal Makhni Recipe || Restaurant Style Dal Makhni Recipe || Kitchen Delicious Dal Makhani is a rich and flavorful North Indian dish made with whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma), cooked in a creamy, spiced tomato-based gravy. Here’s a simple recipe to make Dal Makhani at home: Ingredients: 1 cup whole black urad dal (black lentils) 1/4 cup kidney beans (rajma) 4 cups water (for soaking and cooking) 1/3 cup ghee or butter 3 tomatoes, pureed 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste 1/2  teaspoon garam masala 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder Salt to taste 1/2 cup fresh cream 1 tablespoon kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish Instructions: Soak the Lentils and Beans: Wash and soak the urad dal and rajma in water for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. This helps in softening them for cooking. Cook the Lentils and Beans: In a pressure cooker, add the soaked dal and rajma with enough water (about 4 cups). Cook for 4-5 whistles or until soft and well-cooked. If using a stovetop pot, cook the lentils and beans for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender. Prepare the Masala: In a large pan or kadhai, heat ghee or butter over medium heat. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the oil begins to separate from the masala. Add Spices: Add the red chili powder, garam masala and salt. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Combine Dal with the Masala: Add the cooked dal and rajma to the masala mixture. Stir to combine, and add a little water if the dal is too thick. Let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes so the flavors can meld together. Add Cream and Kasuri Methi: Stir in the fresh cream and kasuri methi, and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until creamy and well-blended. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and a drizzle of cream, if desired. Serving Suggestions: Serve Dal Makhani with naan, roti, or steamed rice. Enjoy this rich, creamy, and comforting dish! #food #cooking #dalmakhani #vegetablerecipe
