Daal Makhni Receipe

 Ingredients:

  • 1 cup black gram lentils (whole urad dal)
  • 1/4 cup red kidney beans (rajma)
  • 3 cups water (for soaking)
  • 4 cups water (for cooking)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, pureed
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 2-3 green chilies, slit
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • Ghee or oil for cooking

Instructions:

  1. Wash the lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma) thoroughly. Soak them in 3 cups of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. Drain the soaked water and rinse the lentils and beans. Transfer them to a pressure cooker, add 4 cups of water, and cook until they are soft and well-cooked. This may take about 15-20 minutes after the pressure cooker reaches full pressure. You can also cook them in a regular pot, but it will take longer.

  3. In a separate pan, heat ghee or oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

  4. Add minced ginger, garlic, and slit green chilies. Sauté for another couple of minutes until the raw smell disappears.

  5. Add tomato puree and cook until the mixture thickens and the oil starts to separate from the masala.

  6. Add all the dry spices - turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Cook the masala for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.

  7. Add the cooked lentils and kidney beans to the masala. Mix well and let them simmer together for about 15-20 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally.

  8. Mash some of the lentils and beans with the back of a spoon to thicken the gravy. Add salt and adjust the spices according to your taste.

  9. Stir in heavy cream or butter to make the daal makhni rich and creamy. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes.

  10. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a drizzle of cream, if desired.

  11. Your Daal Makhni is ready to be served! Enjoy it with rice, naan, or roti.
