Masoor Dal Makhani is creamy, flavorful gravy cooked with Masoor dal.Traditionally dal makhani is cooked with urad dal.
I grew up eating only south Indian food and sea foods. Lucky to be on coastal side, we always had fresh fish, prawns, crab and what not :).
Unlike now ,We rarely used to go out to have food, it used to be for a very very special occasion only.Once I stepped out of home for studies, job I started eating in restaurants. From then I started loving north Indian dishes as much as south Indian dishes.
I got to taste this masoor dal makhani/traditional dal makhani in my north Indian friend home.It is so flavorful, so creamy. I really liked it. I will be posting traditional urad dal Makhani soon. Till then enjoy this creamy Masoor dal makhani...
