Wonderful dish,looks so creamy ,i have never prepared this looks so tempting.
ReplyDeleteYumm.. Dal makhni is my favourite Sush :-)
ReplyDeleteI discovered how red beans can be another ingredient for this lentil dish. I have always been using only the one variety, mostly the yellow or masoor dhal. I think I have the red beans in my pantry and will try out for this weekend. My other half's fav dish is something similar to this inviting lentil dish. Ok, the other ingredient is tomato puree. I always use the fresh tomatoes. Therefore, I am quite excited to try out your version.
