Dal Makhani is a famous North-Indian dish that is made from whole black lentils(Kala urad), red kidney beans (Rajma), butter and cream. The texture of this dal is very silky and it gets its richness from butter and cream hence the name dal Makhani. Slowly cooked lentils become very soft makkhan like along with Rajma. It goes very well with Jeera Rice or Butter Naan. Today we will learn about my style Dal Makhani recipe. Let's have a look at the ingredients and recipe step by step.
