Description

Dal makhani is a luxurious vegetarian dish from Punjab, made with black urad lentils and beans, slowly cooked with butter and cream. Traditionally cooked overnight over a low flame, nowadays the process can be sped up using a pressure cooker. The rich, creamy sauce with a hint of smoke (often added using the dhungar method) makes this dish incredibly satisfying. Dal makhani is proof that vegetarian cuisine can be just as sophisticated and hearty as meat-based dishes. Perfect with basmati rice and naan bread.

Mięso wyjmijcie z lodówki 30 min przed gotowaniem - lepiej się przyrumieni.
