Punjabi lentil dish made with black urad dal and kidney beans, simmered in a luscious tomato-based gravy, and finished with butter and cream.
The original dal makhani which was made in the Western part of Punjab, which is now in Pakistan, was made by the Peshawaris.
The Punjabis sold this dal with a few flat unleavened breads called roti in Peshawar dhabas When they came across the border after partition, they brought this dal with them.
