Restaurant Style Dal Makhni Recipe - One of the most popular recipes of North India cuisine is Dal Makhni. It tastes best when you cook it on a low flame for hours. The more you simmer this dal on low flame, the tastier it turns out. "Makhni" means creamy. Lots of butter and cream makes this dal yummy and rich in texture. But here we have used fresh whisked curd instead of cream, to make it healthy.
