Dal Makhani is a beloved North Indian comfort food that represents the heart of vegetarian
Indian cuisine at Green Chili Fine Indian Cuisine. Our authentic recipe begins with a carefully
selected blend of black lentils (urad dal), kidney beans (rajma), and chickpeas (chana),
soaked overnight to ensure perfect texture and digestibility.
What makes our Dal Makhani special is the slow-cooking process – the lentils and beans are
simmered for hours with whole spices including bay leaves, cardamom, and cloves until they
become incredibly creamy and smooth. The dish is finished with a rich tempering of onions,
tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, and a generous dollop of cream and butter, creating a
luxurious, comforting dish that's perfect with rice or naan bread.
