DirectionsStep1Soak both the whole urad dal and rajma overnight in enough water for 8 to 9 hours or overnight. Later drain them well.Step2Rinse both the lentils a couple of times in water.Step3Drain again and then add them in a 3 litre pressure cooker. Add water and stir well.Step4Pressure cook for 18 to 20 whistles on a high flame, till both the urad dal and rajma have cooked thoroughly and softened. If they are undercooked, then add about 1⁄2 cup water again and pressure cook for 4 to 5 whistle…Step5The urad dal should melt in the mouth and should not give any bite or resistance when eaten. You can also just mash the urad dal with a spoon or with your fingers to check the doneness. The same rule applies for ki…Step6In a blender or mixer jar, take chopped tomatoes and blend to a fine and smooth puree. Set aside.Step7You can also add ready 1 cup tomato puree instead of blending the tomatoes. No need to blanch the tomatoes while pureeing.Step8In a pan, now heat butter. Keep heat to medium-low.Step9Add the whole spices - cumin seeds, cloves, green cardamoms, black cardamom, cinnamon and tej patta.Step10Fry for some seconds till the spices sputter and become aromatic.Step11Add finely chopped onions.Step12Stir and sauté the onions on a low or medium-low heat often till they become light golden.Step13Add the ginger garlic paste. Stir again and sauté for some seconds till the raw aroma of ginger-garlic goes away.Step14Add the chopped green chilies and sauté for a minute.Step15Add the prepared tomato puree and mix well.Step16Add red chili powder and 2 to 3 pinches of grated nutmeg or nutmeg powder.Step17Mix very well and sauté this mixture on a low to medium flame, till you see fat releasing from the sides.Step18Add the cooked lentils and kidney beans together with the stock. Also add 1 cup water or as needed.Step19Mix very well and simmer the dal makhani uncovered on a low heat.Step20Keep on stirring often, so that the lentils don't stuck to the bottom of the pan.Step21Once it has begun to thicken, add salt as required.Step22Stir very well and continue to simmer on a low heat. Keep on stirring when the lentils are simmering on low heat.Step23When simmering you can add more water if the consistency looks thick or dry. The longer you keep dal makhani to simmer, the better it tastes.Step24I kept it for about an overall 25 minutes on a low heat. Do keep on stirring at intervals.Step25When the consistency has thickened enough, add cream. Dal makhani is not too thick or too thin. It has a medium consistency.Step26Mix the cream very well. Then turn off the heat.Step27Add crushed dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi and mix again.Step28Cover with a lid and set the Dal Makhani aside, if you are proceeding to the dhungar method. Or else you can serve Dal Makhani straightaway.Step29Turn on the stovetop and set the flame to low or medium-low heat. Place a flameproof wire rack with a handle on the stove. I typically use a round metal rack as shown in the step-by-step image above.Step30Keep a small piece of charcoal on the rack and heat it directly over the flame until it becomes hot. Use steel tongs to rotate the charcoal, ensuring it burns evenly.Be cautious while doing this, and if you're uns…Step31Keep the red hot charcoal in a small bowl.Step32Pour 1⁄2 teaspoon oil on the hot charcoal.Step33Immediately keep this bowl on top of the dal makhani.Step34Cover for a minute and allow the charcoal to infuse its smoke in the dal makhni. Remove the bowl. Stir again.Step35Serve Punjabi Dal Makhani garnished with chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) and a few teaspoons of cream with naan, roti, paratha or steamed riceIngredientsIngredients¾ cupWhole Urad Dal (- 140 grams (whole black gram) )¼ cupRajma (40 grams, kidney beans)3 cupsWater (for pressure cooking)½ cupOnions (finely chopped, 50 grams)1 teaspoonGreen Chilies (chopped, or serrano peppers or 1 to 2 green chillies)2 teaspoonsGinger Garlic Paste2 Large Tomatoes (200 grams, pureed or 1 cup tomato puree)½ teaspoonCumin Seeds3 Cloves3 Green Cardamoms1 Black Cardamom1 inchCinnamon1 Medium Tej Patta (small to, Indian bay leaf)½ teaspoonRed Chili Powder (or cayenne pepper or smoked paprika)3 pinchesNutmeg (grated, or ground nutmeg powder)1 cupWater (or add as required)⅓ cupHalf & Half (or light cream, 25% to 30% fat, or 2 tablespoons whipping or heavy cream)¼ teaspoonDry Fenugreek Leaves (crushed, kasuri methi, optional)3 tablespoonsButter (salted or unsalted)add Salt (as required)1 small pieceCharcoal⅔ teaspoonOil (any neutral tasting oil)2 tablespoonsCoriander Leaves (chopped, cilantro)1 tablespoonLight Cream (25% to 30% fat, or few teaspoons of whipping cream - optional)1 inchGinger (julienne - optional)See moreNutritionalNutritional308 Calories13 gTotal Fat35 mgCholesterol35 gCarbohydrate433 mgSodium13 gProteinFrom vegrecipesofindia.comRecipeDirectionsIngredientsNutritionalFeedbackThanks!Tell us more
