Dal Makhani is a rich and flavorful dish from North Indian cuisine, known for its creamy texture and aromatic spices. Made primarily with whole black lentils (urad dal) and red kidney beans (rajma), it is slow-cooked to perfection with tomatoes, butter, and cream, creating its signature velvety consistency. Spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala enhance its robust flavor profile. While traditionally a decadent dish due to its buttery base, Dal Makhani is also a good source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron and potassium. To make it healthier, the cream and butter portions can be reduced. Typically served with naan or rice, Dal Makhani is a comforting and satisfying meal, celebrated as a staple in festive Indian feasts.
