Healthier Dal Makhani
  1. Soak all dals overnight (if you forgot, don’t worry, soak it in hot water for 3-4 hours). Drain, add fresh water, and pressure cook with chili, bay leaf, turmeric, ginger, and salt for 6–7 whistles until completely soft. Remove bay leaf and chilli.

  2. Heat ghee, add cumin seeds. Add Kashmiri chili powder and ginger-garlic paste, cook until fragrant.

  3. Add tomato puree, cook until oil separates. Add garam masala, fold in the cooked dals, add hot water, season with salt, cover and simmer 8–10 minutes.

  4. Blend paneer with warm water until completely smooth. Pour into the dal, simmer 2–3 minutes.

  5. For tadka: heat ghee, switch off flame, add powdered kasuri methi and Kashmiri chili powder. Pour straight over the dal.
