Dal makhani is a popular North Indian dish made with black lentils and kidney beans. It is a rich and creamy dish that is perfect for special occasions.
Here is a some-point guide on how to make the perfect dal makhani
Soak the lentils and kidney beans overnight. This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
Rinse the lentils and kidney beans thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any impurities.
Cook the lentils and kidney beans in a pressure cooker for 2-3 whistles. This should take around 15-20 minutes.
While the lentils and kidney beans are cooking, prepare the tadka. Heat some butter or ghee
Once the lentils and kidney beans are cooked, mash them slightly with a spoon. This will help to create a creamy texture.
Add the mashed lentils and kidney beans to the tadka. Also add tomato puree, salt, and garam masala
Cook the dal makhani for 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches the desired consistency.
Add a dollop of butter or ghee and some cream to the dal makhani before serving. This will give it a rich and creamy flavor.
