🍲 Preparation Method
Step 1: Soak & Cook the Dal
Wash the urad dal and rajma thoroughly and soak them overnight (8–10 hours).
Pressure cook with salt and water for 6–8 whistles until the dal is soft and creamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Base Gravy
Heat butter in a heavy-bottom pan.
Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.
Now add tomato puree and cook on medium flame until butter starts releasing from the sides.
Step 3: Add the Star Ingredient
Add Sri Priya Foods Dal Makhani Masala, red chilli powder, and garam masala.
Mix well and cook for 2–3 minutes to release the aroma of the spices.
Step 4: Combine Dal & Slow Cook
Add the cooked dal to the gravy and mix gently.
Add water if needed to adjust consistency.
Simmer on low flame for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
This slow cooking is the secret to restaurant-style taste.
