Mix Daal Makhani




Today I am sharing recipe of Mix Daal Makhani. It is one of the most popular Punjabi recipes. The dish differs from other popular Punjabi dal dishes, such as dal tadka, in that the primary ingredients in dal makhani are whole black lentil (urad) and red kidney beans (rajma), rather than red lentil (masoor). Dal makhani is now universally recognized as a quintessentially Indian dish, and variations of the fare are served in a wide variety of eateries and restaurants internationally. Dal Makhani’s popularity is due in part to its versatility and the rich vegetarian dish can be served as a main meal, included in a buffet (thali) or as an accompaniment to a principal meal. Do try making Daal Makhani with these ingredients and you will find new flavors in your usual Daal Makhani.
