Recipe Summary Dal Makhani (Butter Lentils)
This is my adaptation of Dal Makhani. This is a slightly sweet and savory version compared to the tomato-based versions out there - it reminds me more of what you would get in a restaurant. I use sugar, cinnamon, and more butter than other offerings in my version. I always make my version of Coconut Chicken Curry when I make this recipe. This dish pairs well with a rice side; I prefer basmati rice, particularly as a pilaf. It also pairs well with naan bread.Ingredients | Rajma Dal Price In Bangladesh1 ½ cups lentils2 tablespoons ground cinnamon1 tablespoon chile powder1 tablespoon ground coriander1 tablespoon ground cumin1 tablespoon ground turmeric1 teaspoon nutmeg1 teaspoon paprika1 teaspoon ground black pepper1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper½ teaspoon ground cloves½ teaspoon ground allspice2 bay leaves2 tablespoons olive oil5 tomatoes, pureed2 tablespoons ginger paste3 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons white sugarsalt to taste1 cup heavy whipping cream6 tablespoons butter1 lime, cut into wedgesDirectionsSoak lentils in a saucepan of water for 1 hour.
