How to Make Dal Makhani

  1. 1

    Rinse black lentils and kidney beans and soak overnight in plenty of water.

  2. 2

    Drain and transfer the beans and lentils to a pressure cooker. Add water, salt, and turmeric. Cook under pressure for 30-40 minutes or until soft.

  3. 3

    In a separate pan, heat butter. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add onions and garlic, sautéing until golden.

  4. 4

    Add chopped tomatoes, chili powder, and garam masala, cooking until oil separates from the masala.

  5. 5

    Add the cooked lentils and beans to the masala, adding water if necessary, to achieve the desired consistency. Bring to a boil.

  6. 6

    Simmer on low heat for at least 30 minutes. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes.

  7. 7

    Finish with cream and a swirl of butter before serving. Garnish with cilantro.

  8. 8

    Serve hot with naan or rice.
