Did you make it to Dishoom when you were in London? yummy! I’m not the OP here, but I am of North Indian ethnic origin, so I just wanted to interject and say that ‘kaali dal’, literally, black lentils, is a good catch-all term here, because it refers to the colour of the finished dish, rather than the colour, or type, of what went into the making of it. I picked up some whole black lentils add an Indian grocer, also called Urad on the package. I’m going to try this but with earth balance instead of butter. Many thanks for the recipe. I know I will have to soak the black beans first…. use the small bowl of the food processor and process equal amounts of garlic and ginger, emulsified with a little olive oil drizzled in. Easy to find. Set aside to soak for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours. I also didn’t have any pureed tomatoes, so subbed 2 tablespoons of tomato paste in 1 c of water. Next time, I would only add 3 cups of water to start. Love a good, spicy, hearty dal. Dr Pramod We just moved to a new area and while looking around, found an Indian grocery. SO yummy!

4.5 Years Ago: Baked Orzo with Eggplant and Mozzarella. I had to cook at a higher heat and add some cornstarch to cook it down. They’re sturdy and cook quickly, with an earthy flavor that pairs well with simple roasted vegetables and fresh herbs. And when you’re comfortable with the batter, you can customize it (I’ve added fenugreek leaves, used brown rice instead of white, whole mung beans instead of husked urad, used a similar process to ferment buckwheat etc etc), I love it sooooo much when you post Indian recipes! Delicious recipe! An accumulation of these kind of comments are what shutter blogs. I will definitely be making this again. It's rich and creamy, just like the dal makhani from your fav Indian restaurant. Or is this a myth? You need to use a pressure cooker or instant pot.

I have to say however that the water to daal ratio is completely off. This looks delicious! Which type of common lentil are the black ones closer to? Kasuri methi ( Kasur is a town in Pakistan that is famous for this, but now it also grown in other parts of India. The photo is totally melt-in-your-mouth! . Maybe it would help if you add a bit of oil to the mixture before adding to the pan – I discovered a couple of years ago that this little trick helps when adding pressed garlic or garlic and ginger to a dish. I LOVE the quart jars of ginger-garlic paste I get at the Indian market! The flavors were subtle, but delicious. we really enjoyed this! Kaali means black. Very delicious! I learned from the Artisan Bread in Five minutes per Day cookbook. Nope … a full 2″ piece. In the process of making this… with red lentils, tomato paste instead of chopped tomato, and vegetable broth instead of water. haha…don’t ruin a good thing! The antecedent of this question is that I have a lentil soup recipe in my next cookbook finished with a “chaunk” and the husband of the person who tested is from India and neither of them had ever heard of chaunk, only tarka, which sent me into a tailspin of research. Also, after heating a second time, the lentils get plenty creamy on their own. I think it’s serendipitous that you posted this at the same time that I was on my first trip to Delhi. It was sublime. This looks so good! Which…er…is often at the stove. With two small kids, no less. I also added dried fenugreek leaves and asafoetida. They are such a great ingredient to work with….hold their shape and have nice texture. I’d go for a lentil that stays intact well while cooking, such as French green lentils de puy or Italian brown lentils (lenticchie). That’s awesome! I just had to after reading this recipe. I commented when I saw this recipe and forgot to come back and say how it turned out. This recipe is phenomenal! Thanks :). It says to add the ginger and garlic, then “the rest of the spices, cook, tomato cook for three minutes more…”. Your fan, nervous illustrator MacKenzie . not sure but was very disappointed. Delicious!! Thank you so much.

Austrian comfort food in a very cozy setting. if you make a purchase using these links. I skipped the butter on top, and this was still one of the best things I’ve ever cooked. I thought they might be simple to make, but I found a NYT recipe that seems kind of scary. (I adore my Instant Pot and use it far more than I’d have imagined.). Nice and gingery. This was a perfect accompaniment! As someone who doesn’t eat much meat at all, I rely on beans a lot for protein which really puts me in a pinch.
Deb – I really want to appreciate your attention to detail about finishing off with butter versus cooking in butter. Don’t you just love it when that happens?!! Yes, I’m familiar with ginger-garlic paste, but somehow when reading the post I could have sworn I read “chile-garlic” paste. Would it be better to just used one of the other varieties I can get dried? This time, I've made us a vegan dal makhani. To soak or not to soak — THAT is the question ;-). I have the utmost respect for , the toughest job on earth ( being a mom/parent), being a one woman show and doing everything yourself. Lots of love! If you are of a vegan persuasion, may I suggest a little coconut cream to replace the heavy cream? Do you soak the beans overnight? It wasn’t too hard to make (although it did require some planning because I had to soak the beans and buy some ingredients I didn’t have on hand). I usually pour out one cup at a time on a white soup bowl (flat wide bowl) and sort carefully before adding to the pot. It turns out I mistaked the Urad beans for beluga lentils, and I followed this recipe with beluga lentils instead of urad beans I skipped the chickpeas because I forgot to soak them, but otherwise the recipe works great with black beluga lentils as well, I just creamed it up a bit with stand blender in the end.

In a bag, not in the bulk section. They're also brown.

Lol – I also just bought that giant bag of beluga lentils from kalustyan’s, except I spilled them all over the floor when opening. Stir in the coconut milk and heat through. Dal makhani would be the Indian name, but for clarity (so readers know it’s made with black, French-style lentils instead of yellow dry dal) I think your title is just fine. Thank you. I made this in my instant pot tonight, following Melissa Clark’s (NYT Cooking) guide to cooking with an instant pot. If the latter, what do you suggest? Perhaps you should link some of the videos that inspired this recipe.

Deb, this looks great, but you’ve put “2 tablespoons teaspoons heavy cream” in the recipe! I asked the same thing as above, was that I thought it was both lentils and a way to prepare them and asked how people felt about “Punjabi-Style Black Lentils” as a English title instead. Yes, I would like to know about using yogurt instead too…I don’t have to worry about salted butter because I never quit using that…glad to see it is coming back in style!

Which do you prefer? As always, thanks Deb. posted by Kristen Stevens on February 24, 2017, Hi, I'm Kristen! Phone:+2349075565949 That’s the first place I thought of after eating these devine lentils with some roasted garlic pilaf…..delicious!! I don’t call the resulting dal – dal makhni, but just “maa ki daal”. Not sure a pressure cooker is necessary. ), In like Flynn.. Errol Flynn, Actor and notorious womanizer…. (from a fan of Indian descent). He was a great “ladies’ man” – legendary in classic Hollywood. I can’t have dairy (touchy nursing baby) so I finished it with canned coconut milk and earth balance.

Thank you for this! Julie. Thank you!! I made this last night and found it to be just ok. The lentils I used were possibly French green lentils (who knows because they were in a plastic baggie) instead of black. I used green lentils (what I had) and diced tomatoes. You are generous with those of us who would have you blog every damn day if we were in charge of the world. This bring back memories for me of my one and only trip to New Zealand. Could you please advise the best type of lentils/beans to match this recipe, especially one that might be found in an Indian market…they have a wall of beans and lentils..I just don’t know which to get. Mine turned out a bit looser than I expected but still very very good. When you're looking for them, you may find that they are called Sabut Urad dal, Kaali dal, or Black Gram. Actually, the timing of your comment is relevant.
I am in the midst of making this but also didn’t have tomatoes on hand, just tomato paste. Go to an asian store – they have garlic and ginger in jars….

Like you, I was wary of all the butter and cream that seemed required; I love the idea of adding it at the end. Their creators would probably appreciate attribution and additional views, like any other source. Properly speaking we would call a daal made with Black Lentils and black lentils themselves “Kali Daal” i.e. thanks for sharing this. The rest cooked beautifully as expected. I understand that not all readers may be familiar with “dal”, but maybe dal could be explained in the blog, instead of changing its traditional ethnic name. We did think it need some acid at the end, so we added juice from half a lemon. And for the record: I used to follow a lot of ‘celebrity’ food bloggers whose phoniness put me off after a while. Love your blog, hope you are there forever. I would say both Kaali Dal and Punjabi-Style Black Lentils are good/more accurate names for the dish. I didn’t notice your comment until now, and it was helpful and very informative. Garlic and ginger paste is used in all Indian restaurants. You might want to check out the comment guidelines before chiming in. FWIW, I research a lot of recipes this way — as well as pulling books off my shelf and flipping through articles — and only usually call out the ones that end up influencing the way I write my own, or of course if I use another’s recipe all or in part. I’d say the small green/gray French ones because they stay more intact when cooked. Thank you. An extra measure is to rinse the legume after cooking if your stomach is sensitive. I cooked on HP for 15 minutes with a natural release (did not pre-soak lentils). Absolutely delicious recipe! also I used the canned fire roasted tomatoes. You can do it fresh with a food processor. Well, my personal case, for what it’s worth. And I didn’t know ginger-garlic paste is a thing. I also made the yogurt flatbreads from Ottolenghi’s Plenty. Thanks for this note – I made a special trip for black lentils but don’t have cumin SEEDs….I’ll go ahead with some ground cumin. Deb is kind enough and generous enough to share her recipes and her wonderful writing with us. It cracks me up to see the director, Gurinder Chadha, cooking aloo gobi with her mom and aunt. what are black beluga lentils. Please don’t. It is actually far easier than it sounds and even if your first attempts don’t turn out perfectly, you will still have something delicious that comes out of it, at relatively low cost and the experience to boot. Hi.. just came across this post, so chances are that you might not benefit from it but here are my 2 cents as a Punjabi who cooks this often…. Toss the asparagus with oil, then spread onto the second parchment lined baking sheet. Very soon. That works well, but I always find that the mixture catches a lot on the bottom of the pan and so needs to be stirred vigorously. We ate it with homemade garlic herb bread, sopping the bowl for the last bits of lentils and sauce. I asked for a recommendation and the concierge suggested a restaurant on the main street of Christchurch. These are definitely not the same as beluga lentils. My fella is usually the cooker of Indian cuisine but this seems to hit me in my Mexican/Indian fusion desire so I’m going to do it.

I serve it with rice or quinoa and my family, including 2 kids, love it. However, if anyone else makes this and has any tips (I would say use less water) I would love to hear about it. I just wanted to note that black beluga lentils are not urad dal. I tried this recipe and it was delish.
