Recipe Instructions

To make Dal Makhani: 1. To the dal, add water, 1 Tbsp salt, and ginger. Cook until the dal becomes tender. 2. In a heavy-based pan, heat butter and oil. Add shahi jeera and kasoori methi. When they begin to splutter, add tomato puree, remaining salt, chili powder, and sugar. 3. Stir-fry over high flame until the oil separates. 4. Add cooked dal and bring to a boil. The consistency should be such that the dal should move around freely when stirred; otherwise, add a little water. 5. Leave to simmer, uncovered, till well blended.
