Steps:
- Soak both the whole urad dal and rajma overnight in enough water for 8 to 9 hours or overnight. Later drain them well.
- Rinse both the lentils a couple of times in water.
- Drain again and then add them in a 3 litre pressure cooker. Add water and stir well.
- Pressure cook for 18 to 20 whistles on a high flame, till both the urad dal and rajma have cooked thoroughly and softened. If they are not cooked, then add about ½ cup water again and pressure cook for 4 to 5 whistles more.
- The urad dal should melt in the mouth and should not give any bite or resistance when eaten. You can also just mash the urad dal with a spoon or with your fingers to check the doneness. The same rule applies for rajma too. Keep the cooked beans aside.
- In a blender or mixer jar, take chopped tomatoes and blend to a smooth puree. Set aside.
- You can also add ready 1 cup tomato puree instead of blending the tomatoes. No need to blanch the tomatoes while pureeing.
- In a pan, now heat butter. You can use salted butter or unsalted butter.
- Add the whole spices - cumin seeds, cloves, green cardamoms, black cardamom, 1 inch cinnamon, 1 small to medium tej patta.
- Fry for some seconds till the spices sputter and become aromatic.
- Add finely chopped onions.
- Stir and sauté the onions on a low or medium-low heat often till they become light golden.
- Add the ginger garlic paste. Stir again and sauté for some seconds till the raw aroma of ginger-garlic goes away.
- Add the chopped green chilies and sauté for a minute.
- Add the prepared tomato puree and mix well.
- Add red chili powder and 2 to 3 pinches of grated nutmeg or nutmeg powder.
- Stir very well and sauté this mixture on a low to medium flame, till you see fat releasing from the sides.
- Then add the cooked urad dal and rajma beans along with the stock. Also add 1 cup water or as required.
- Stir very well and simmer the dal makhani uncovered on a low flame.
- Keep on stirring often, so that the lentils don't stuck to the bottom of the pan.
- Once it has begun to thicken, add salt as required.
- Stir very well and continue to simmer on a low flame. Keep on stirring when the lentils are simmered on low heat.
- When simmering you can add more water if the gravy looks thick or dry. The longer you keep dal makhani to simmer, the better it tastes.
- I kept it for about an overall 25 minutes on a low flame. Do keep on stirring at intervals.
- When the gravy has thickened enough, then add cream. Dal makhani is not too thick or too thin. It has a medium consistency.
- Mix the cream very well. Then switch off the heat.
- Add crushed kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves). Mix again.
- Cover and set dal makhani aside, if you are proceeding to the dhungar method. Or else you can serve dal makhni straight away.
- Heat a small piece of charcoal on flame till it becomes red hot. With the help of tongs, keep on turning the charcoal piece so that it evenly burns.
- Keep the red hot charcoal in a small bowl.
- Pour ½ teaspoon oil on the hot charcoal.
- Immediately keep this bowl on top of the dal makhani.
- Cover for a minute and allow the charcoal to infuse its smoke in the dal makhni. Remove the bowl. Stir again.
- Serve punjabi dal makhani garnished with chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) and a few teaspoons of cream with naan, roti, paratha or steamed rice.

Steps:
- Pick the sabut urad dal and rinse in water for 2 to 3 times and soak it in water for 30 to 40 minutes. You can also soak the lentils for 4 to 5 hours or overnight, depending on the quality of dal. If the lentils are old or near expiry date, then soak overnight.
- Later drain the soaked sabut urad dal.
- Heat ghee or oil in a 3 litre stovetop pressure cooker. Instead of ghee you can also use butter. Keep the heat to low. Add the cumin seeds. When they sizzle and crackle, then add chopped onions.
- Fry the onions stirring often till light brown or golden on low to medium-low heat.
- Add the pureed tomatoes. Stir and mix well.
- Next add the crushed ginger-garlic or ginger-garlic paste.
- Add the all the dry spice powders - coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder and garam masala powder. Stir the spice powders and mix well.
- Add chopped green chilies.
- Saute the masala on a low to medium-low heat till the oil starts to leave or separate at the sides. Ensure that the masala does not burn while sauteing.
- Add the soaked sabut urad dal (black gram). Add water and salt as needed. Stir and mix well.
- Cover the pressure cook for about 15 to 18 whistles or 18 to 20 minutes or till the lentils have become soft and buttery. If still they are not cooked well, then continue to pressure cook for a few more whistles.
- When the pressure falls down naturally in the cooker then only open the lid.
- If the dal looks thin, then simmer without the lid, till it reaches the desired consistency.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
- Serve maa ki dal hot with naan, kulcha, rotis, plain paratha or plain boiled rice.

KALI DAL (DAHL, DHAL, DAAL)
Matt makes this yummy dal from a book called A Little Taste of India. It is similar to Dal Makhani, so if you like that you should like this, too. It has great authentic flavour. We use ghee for the oil, but we'll leave it up to you.

Steps:
- Tip the dhal into a sieve and rinse under cold water several times until the water runs clear. Put in a large bowl or pot and cover in double their volume of warm water. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda and leave to soak at room temperature for at least 12 hrs.
- Drain the dhal (but don't rinse), tip into a pan and cover with 1.5 litres water. Add the sliced ginger, whole chilli and turmeric, then bring to the boil, skim off any scum that rises to the top and reduce the heat. Simmer uncovered for 1 hr until very tender, or cook in a pressure cooker for 20 mins. Remove the ginger and chilli.
- Heat the butter in a separate pan over a medium-high heat until it has foamed up and turned nut-brown. Pour half into a small container and set aside. Return the pan and remaining butter to the heat and add the cumin seeds, fenugreek leaves, ground coriander, garlic, grated ginger and tomato purée and cook for 2 mins more. Stir the spice mixture into the cooked dhal, then add the kidney beans along with the liquid from the can and season generously with salt.
- Roughly mash the dhal mixture with a potato masher until some of the pulses are crushed. Cook, stirring, over a very low heat for 15-20 mins until the dhal is thick and creamy. Stir through most of the reserved brown butter, the garam marsala and half the cream. Tip the dhal into a serving dish and drizzle over the remaining cream and brown butter. Scatter over the chopped chilli and ginger matchsticks and serve.
