The only substitution that I made was 1/2 a can of black beans instead of the dry kidney beans. Thanks for a great recipe Meenakshi! ♥ Julie I tried this recipe in a slow cooker instead of a pressure cooker and it worked great.

I didn't have ginger garlic paste so I just mashed up my own ginger and garlic in a mortar and pestle. The texture is also very nice; I like it better than the completely soupy dals. But I would love to try the "loaded with cream and butter" variety someday. ;) I just made this today and it’s really delicious.

I always wanted to make daal makhani as my husband loves it, but used to think it would be difficult. But this recipe is pretty simple and tasty. I have made it 2 times and it has turned out really good each time. I will be making this again for my potluck dinner tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing it with everyone!

Taste of India in Minneapolis has a black lentil dal that comes close - but this is the cats pajamas! This is by far THE BEST dal we have ever tasted, much less made ourselves!
