Our Authentic Indian Dal Makhani

Dal Makhani is a popular Punjabi dish renowned for its rich, creamy texture & comforting flavors. Made with black lentils and kidney beans, it’s a dish that has become a staple at family dinners and festive gatherings.

The secret to our recipe lies in the slow cooking. We simmer black lentils and kidney beans with tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a special blend of Indian spices until they develop a deep, smoky flavor. The classic dal makhani, with its ingredients of butter, cream, and a touch of spice, creates a silky, indulgent finish. For those who love cooking at home, this dish can also be adapted to a dal makhani instant pot version for quicker preparation without losing flavor.

We can prepare Dal Makhani with plant-based alternatives while keeping all the richness intact. No matter how it’s prepared, the ingredients in dal makhani ensure a wholesome and hearty experience.
