About Maa ki dal

Maa Ki Dal, also known as Kali Dal or Punjabi Dal Makhani, is a creamy and comforting lentil dish rooted in North Indian cuisine. Its primary ingredients include whole black gram (urad dal) and red kidney beans, slow-cooked to perfection with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and garam masala. The dish is enriched with tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and butter or cream, giving it its signature velvety texture. Maa Ki Dal is a great source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and iron, making it a nutritious option for vegetarians. However, its richness in butter or cream can contribute to higher calorie and saturated fat content, so moderation is advised for those watching their fat intake. Typically enjoyed with rice or naan, this wholesome dish is a perfect balance of flavor and nourishment, celebrating the hearty, indulgent essence of Punjabi cooking.
