About Two bowls of dal makhani

Dal Makhani, a beloved dish from North Indian cuisine, is a creamy and flavorful lentil curry made from black gram lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma) simmered with tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices. Traditionally slow-cooked, it is finished with a rich addition of cream and butter for its signature velvety texture. Packed with plant-based protein and fiber from the lentils and beans, Dal Makhani provides nourishment and supports digestion. The tomatoes and spices contribute vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote overall health. However, the inclusion of butter and cream increases its saturated fat content, making portion control important for those monitoring their calorie intake. Served with rice or Indian bread, two bowls of Dal Makhani offer a hearty, satisfying, and nutrient-rich meal that’s perfect for indulging in moderation.
