About Our Dal Makhani

Dal Makhani is one of Punjab's most beloved lentil dishes and a signature specialty at The Punjab Parantha Hut. Our authentic recipe begins with black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans that are soaked overnight and then slow-cooked for hours until they become perfectly tender and creamy. The lentils are then simmered in a rich sauce made with butter, cream, ginger-garlic paste, and a carefully balanced blend of aromatic spices.

What makes our Dal Makhani special is the slow-cooking process that allows the flavors to develop and the lentils to become incredibly creamy. We finish the dish with a generous amount of butter and cream, creating that characteristic rich and velvety texture. We serve our Dal Makhani hot and fresh, making it the perfect accompaniment to any bread, rice, or as a satisfying main course on its own.
