Everyone loves Punjabi Dhaba Style Dal Makhani ... full on butter, cream and onion-garlic that's call Punjabi khana. But this time I tried Dal Makhani without onion and garlic, so don’t worry about taste or consistency.
Dal Makhani is a very popular dish from Punjabi region in India. This dal made with whole black lentil, kidney beans and chana dal. This dish gets richness and thick consistency from the use of cream but if you want to skip cream, they you can use whipped yogurt or skip dairy products.
In India, so many people are there who eat everyday meal without onion and garlic, like Jain community and many more like us. I always cook my routine gravies, vegetables and all other recipes without onion and garlic. It's a myth between us that without onion... taste not good.
To get richness in dal, I used cashew powder, cream and tomatoes. If you are beginner and want perfect taste, try to use dal makhani masala.
