An Indian dal of urad and chitra rajma with tomato, butter and cream.
About Dal Makhani
Dal makhani is an Indian dal made with urad and kidney beans. Kunal Kapur's version combines these pulses with tomato, butter and cream.
Tomato gives a tangy counterpoint to the dairy richness. Ginger, garlic, Kashmiri chilli and dried fenugreek provide aromatic seasoning, with garlic also used in the tempering.
The cooked pulses form a thick base enriched with butter and cream. Browned garlic and dried fenugreek finish this creamy version, which is served hot.
