About One cup of dal makhani

Dal Makhani is a rich and flavorful dish originating from Punjabi cuisine in India. Made with whole black lentils (urad dal), kidney beans (rajma), butter, and cream, it delivers a creamy texture and robust taste. Spiced with ingredients like ginger, garlic, tomatoes, and a blend of traditional Indian spices, Dal Makhani is slow-cooked to enhance its depth of flavor. While the lentils and beans provide plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and important minerals like iron and potassium, the use of butter and cream can make this dish relatively high in calories and saturated fats. Moderation is key when enjoying Dal Makhani, as it offers both nutritional benefits and indulgence. Pairing it with whole-grain bread or brown rice can create a balanced meal.
