Dal Bukhara Recipe - Dal Bhukara Recipe with step wise pictures.
This creamy indulgent dal bukhara recipe is popular in ITC hotel menu. This is similar to dal makhani and infact more delicious.
This is a great dish for parties because it is so rich and creamy. This is a perfect dish to make your kids eat dal,since this one don’t taste like the usual dal recipe. I cooked this in ghee. If you want it to be very rich you could cook this entirely in butter. You could even skip the cream with milk..
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
