Dhal Makhani / Dal Makhani

This is one of the dish must have whenever I dine out in Indian restaurant. But after kids they always wanted something with Paneer. So ended up compromising even though they encourage me to order either additional or in place of Paneer. I had some whole urad dhal left for quite sometime and had little bit of cream left. So decided to try out the Dhal Makhani at home. Everyone liked it and kids said they can try this out next time when we dine out

Ingredients:
Whole Black Urad Dhal – 1/2 Cup
Rajma (Red Beans) – 1/4 Cup

Salt per taste
