Dal Makhani is a North Indian vegetarian dish that hails from the Punjab region of India. This is creamy or buttery dal, a consistency which is achieved by simmering whole urad dal on low heat for a long period of time. In most good restaurants, this dal is slow-cooked and I also tried the method and result is amazing. Everyone in my home liked this dal very much.
