Dal makhani

Dal Makhani

Ingredients:
2 cups of whole urid dal
1 small cup of rajma
2 tsp oil
4-5 tsp butter
3-4 tomatoes
Coriander leaves
Cumin seeds
Garam masala
Red chilli powder
Coarsed ginger, garlic and green chillies
Salt as per taste

Method:
Soak whole urid dal and rajma overnight. Cook these dals in pressure cooker for over 5-6 whistles. Heat oil and butter in wok, add cumin seeds, once they crackle, add coarsed ginger, garlic and green chillies. Saute till golden brown and then throw in chopped tomatoes. Saute for while and cook for 5 mins with lid on. Once tomatoes are tender, add garam masala and red chilli powder. Salt if needed, since we cook the dal in pressure cooker with salt, so go easy on salt. Once all the masala is blended well with tomatoes, add cooked dal and smash with churner. Cook for 5 mins with lid on. Garnish with coriander leaves. Dal makhani is ready to be served.
Add a dop of white or yellow butter while serving for rich flavour.
P.S: Cook dal in pressure cooker or pour the soaked dal in pan with lid and cook for 3 hrs. Pressure cooker saves time and effort.
Also add coriander leaves while cooking, tastes better. You guys might be knowing it but still.
Happy cooking!
