i have been working on my dal makhni recipe since la long time, people ask me all the time ” when are you going to post dal makhni” “were is the dal restaurant style recipe” and my point has always been quality over quantity yes things take time… while working on the video I realised that the creaminess in the gravy is never due a ton of butter or cream its always because of cooking the starch present in the dal and at home people dont have such a long time to cook dal and yes its actually a 4 hours process, but in this vide I have tried to reduce the cooking time and make things much easier.. I know it will still take you 1.5 hors atleast but the results will be worth it trust me on that So I hope you like the recipe lease do comment 🙂
