Authentic and Delicious Dal Makhani Recipe: Ingredients for Dal Makhani

Here we’ve taken 1 cup of Black gram lentils, and in that, we’ve added a handful of Kidney Beans. If you don’t like Rajma, you can add Split Chickpea instead. Now in this, I’ll add 1 tsp Salt.

Cooking the Dal

Now I will keep this on the gas and will turn on the flame. We will pressure cook this dal. After 1 whistle we’ll lower the flame and will pressure cook for another 2-3 whistles.

Authentic and Delicious Dal Makhani Recipe: Preparing the Tempering

Till the dal pressure cooks, we’ll make the tempering for it. In that, we’ll add 2 tbsp Ghee (Clarified Butter). 2 Onions, finely chopped. Sauté this well. And now we’ll let this become nice and red.

Adding Spices and Tomatoes

Now as you can see, the Onions have changed their color and it’s become nice and pink. But we have to sauté this some more time. Now our Onion is nicely done. Add 2 tbsp of Ginger-Garlic Paste. Sauté this nicely. Add 3-4 Tomatoes, ground. 1/2 tsp Salt. 1/2 tsp Red Chilli powder. We’ll give this a nice mix. So as you can see the Tomatoes are cooked nicely. This is now ready. For some flavor, we’ll add Coriander Leaves. This mixture is now ready, we’ll now add the Dal.

The dal has become nice and thick. If you like the Dal thick, you can have it like this.

Final Cooking

We’ll let this dal come to a boil, and then we’ll cook this on low flame for 5-7 minutes. I added 1 cup of hot water later, that is because, when we add hot water, the dal and the water mix nicely. We cannot add cold water because then the Dal and water separate. Now our Dal is all ready.

We’ll now add… 2 tsp Coriander powder. 1 tsp Cumin Powder. 1 tsp Garam Masala. We’ll mix this well. The Dal is ready, we’ll keep this aside.

Garnishing

We’ll now add Coriander Leaves. Lastly, we’ll add 2-3 tbsp of Fresh Cream. And if you don’t want to add the Cream because you’re calorie-conscious, your dal will still be that delicious.
