Daal Makhani

This is how I make Daal Makhani which is adapted from Sanjeev Kapoor's recipe and is a favourite with the 2Bs and even at the parties everyone asks me the recipe for this !

Whole urad dal - 1 cup

rajma ( kidney beans) - 1/4 cup

Butter- 2 tbsp

onion finely chopped- 1

ginger garlic paste- 3 tsp

tomato paste- 2 tbsp or two chopped tomatoes

cream - 50ml

red chilli pdr- 1 to 2 tsp

garam masala pdr- 1 tsp

Soak daal and rajma overnight and pressure cook till soft. Mash it and keep aside. In a pan heat the butter and add chopped onions. Fry till golden brown, add ginger garlic paste and stir for a couple of minutes. Then add the tomotoes or tomato paste, red chilli pdr and let it cook untill the fat seperates. Keep stiring from time to time to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom. Then add the cooked daal, add some water if it is too thick. And bring it to a boil. Add cream and garam masala pdr and simmer for 5 mins.

We had it with hot rotis for dinner :-)
