Steps

1

First, wash the whole urad dal and kidney beans and soak them overnight.
Then, drain the water from the lentils, wash them, put them in a pressure cooker, add salt, and boil with 2 1/2 cups of water (three times the amount of lentils). After the first whistle in the cooker, reduce the heat and let the lentils cook on low heat for 5-6 minutes, then turn off the heat.
2

Now, peel and wash the tomatoes, green chilies, and half of the ginger, and grind them finely in a blender. Heat ghee in a pan, add cumin seeds. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder, and stir with a spoon. Then add the tomato and green chili paste and cream to this spice mix. Stir with a spoon and sauté until oil starts to float on top of the spices.
3

Add the cooked lentils to these sautéed spices once the pressure cooker is opened. Add water to the lentils as needed. After it comes to a boil, cook for 3-4 minutes. Add garam masala and half of the cilantro and mix. Dal Makhani is ready.
