About Dahl makhani

Dahl Makhani is a creamy and flavorful dish originating from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in the northern regions. Made primarily with whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans, it is slow-cooked with aromatic spices, garlic, ginger, and tomatoes, then enriched with butter or cream for its signature velvety texture. Packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium and iron, it can be a nutritious choice for vegetarians. However, its indulgent use of butter or cream makes it higher in saturated fat and calories, so moderation is key for those watching their intake. Served traditionally with naan or rice, Dahl Makhani is a beloved staple that balances comfort and nourishment in every bite.
