Dal Makhani
Dal Makhani is a classic North Indian lentil dish originating from Punjab, featuring slow-cooked black lentils and kidney beans in a spiced tomato-based sauce enriched with butter and cream. The dish is characterized by its velvety texture and complex flavor profile developed through prolonged simmering with aromatics like garlic, ginger, and garam masala. While providing substantial plant-based protein and dietary fiber from its legume base, the traditional preparation's dairy components contribute to its higher saturated fat content compared to simpler lentil preparations.
