About Dal makhni

Dal Makhni is a rich, creamy lentil dish originating from North Indian cuisine, widely celebrated for its robust flavors and hearty texture. It primarily features whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma) simmered with aromatic spices, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic. The dish is traditionally slow-cooked to develop deep flavors and enriched with butter and cream, giving it its signature indulgent taste. Dal Makhni is a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which supports digestion and helps in maintaining energy levels. However, the inclusion of butter and cream can increase its fat and calorie content, making it a more decadent choice compared to other lentil dishes. Often served with naan or rice, Dal Makhni is a flavorful indulgence that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced meal when consumed in moderation.
