Dal Makhani

by Arpit, Published: December 1, 2011

Dal Makhni a popular delicacy of Punjab has a smooth velvety texture and lovely flavour. But I bet very few of us know that Dal Makhni is traditionally cooked on a low flame overnight and allowed to thicken.

Every Punjabi restaurant, roadside eating place and food stall vendor makes the claim that this is a delicacy that they alone can make to perfection but how many of them allow Dal to cook overnight? I saw on a Television show that there is a small Dhaba in Chandigardh who prepares authentic Dal Makhani. They start cooking Dal Makhani early morning at 5.00 AM and Serve them to customers in the Night. I am waiting my turn to taste that Dal.

Few Pictures of Dhaba preparing Dal Makhani I would like to share with my readers:

Anyways, we could not wait for such a long time in our Kitchen. So, I am using a pressure cooker to survive and reproduce almost similar taste when I am in hurry.

Serve hot with Garlic naans.

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 40 mins
Total time: 55 mins

3/4 cup urad(उडद दाल) (whole black lentils)
