Ingredients

Method

Step 1

Soak the whole urad and chana dal for at least 8 to 9 hours. Drain them and rinse them in water many times. Drain once again.

Step 2

In a pan over medium heat, melt the Rani Refined Oil. Once melted, stir in the ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, and salt. Saute for 2 minutes before adding tomato puree. Cook for around 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the mixture over low heat until the oil separates. Then, in the pan, add the soaked urad and chana dal. Mix well before adding the kasoori methi powder and cumin powder. Then, add the butter and thoroughly mix it up. Cook the dal for around 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

When the gravy has thickened, mix in the fresh cream. The consistency of the dal makhani should be medium. Remove from the heat and garnish with butter and coriander leaves. Serve with rice, roti, or naan, as desired.

Step 5

Place a little piece of charcoal in a small basin and heat it. Pour half a teaspoon of oil over it. Place the bowl on top of the dal makhani and set aside. Allow the charcoal to infuse its smoke into the dal for a minute after covering the makhani. After a minute, remove the cover and charcoal. Garnish with parsley and serve.
