Cook the dal...(washed and soaked overnight)add chopped garlic and hing...you can also add a tbsp of mustard oil while boiling..it gives a different flavour....I cook it on high flame for 2 whistles and then on low flame for 30 minute.

Once the dal is cooked...open the pressure cooker and add the milk or cream whatever you want...(I personally add milk as it is not heavy for the children's as well as elder's) and let the dal simmer on low flame for around 10 minutes...keep on stirring in between.

For the tadka....in a pan take butter and oil or desi ghee...let it heat...add the sabut masala..let the aroma come and then add the chopped onions and ginger...saute them till they become golden and mushy....

Now add the tomatoes chopped or pureed and the green chillies.
Saute the tadka till the oil separates...add the haldi powder, jeera powder, dhania powder and red chilli powder...when the oil separates..add the tadka to the dal...add salt...check for seasoning....

Let it simmer for around 10 minutes on low flame so that the flavours combine...

Add chopped Coriander and cream to garnish..I didn't added cream as my kids don't like it.
Your dal Makhni is ready...
Serve it with rice or tandoori roti...the recipe for which is..
