How to Make Dal Makhani step by step

Before beginning to make the dal makhani recipe, wash and soak the whole urad (black lintel) and kidney beans overnight.

Drain, add water and salt, and pressure cook for 7/8 whistles, or until the dal is soft.

Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid and whisking the dal until it is nearly mashed.

To temper, melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the cumin seeds.

Add the onion, green chilies, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom when the cumin seeds start to pop. Continue cooking until the onion turns a golden brown color.

Add ginger, garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric powder, and tomato puree and cook over a medium flame till the mixture leaves oil.

Cook for 10 to 15 minutes after adding the dal and salt.

Add cream and mix well

Garnish the dal makhani with coriander and fresh cream and serve hot.
