About Daal makhani

Daal Makhani is a classic Indian dish originating from Punjab, known for its rich, creamy texture and deep, earthy flavors. It is made primarily from black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans, slow-cooked with butter, cream, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, and garam masala. A staple of North Indian cuisine, it is typically enjoyed with rice, naan, or roti. Black lentils and kidney beans provide protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, supporting digestion and heart health. However, its creamy consistency often comes from generous amounts of butter and cream, making it high in saturated fat and calories. Opting for lighter versions with reduced butter or cream can maintain its nutritional benefits while moderating calorie intake. Still, Daal Makhani remains a comforting and flavorful dish celebrated across the globe.
