Dal Makhani
Recipe Source:Vahrehvah.com
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..Dal makhani means dals cooked in butter.(since makhani means butter)….But I used less butter and added some oil in this..If you want it to be very rich you could cook this entirely in butter..You could even skip the cream with milk..I hope you will make this now and tell me how it came…

Ingrediants:

Black Urad Dal-1 cup Dried Beans or use 1 can of dal
Tomato Puree-2 cup
Ginger Garlic Paste-1 tblspn
Cumin seeds / Jeera – 1 tsp
Chilli powder-2 tsp
Coriander powder / Malli podi-1 tblspn
Garam masala powder-1 tsp
Kasuri Methi leaves(Dried Fenugreek leaves)-1 tblspn
Heavy Cream-3 tblspn
Salt to taste
Sugar-1 tsp
Butter-2 tblspn
Oil-1 tblspn
Method:
Wash urad dal in lots of water..Soak this over night.Drain it and pressure cook with a little bit of salt for 3 whistles and simmer it for 20 min.Drain it and keep it aside.
Heat oil and butter in kadai and crackle some cumin seeds.
Add in ginger garlic paste and sauté for 30 sec.
Add in tomato puree and mix well.Throw in red chilli powder,coriander powder,salt,sugar and cook this for 5-7 min.
Add in the drained beans and some of the cooking water and mix well.

    @Anonymousu can use onions. And black dal is what gives the taste. Green gram will change the recipe. U can use that. but it is not dal makhani
