  • What is that kastori methi powder ? Is it mint ?

  • @PurePoison1981 Its 'Kasuri Methi' and it is dried fenugreek leaves. There are two kinds regular methi and Kasuri methi. So be sure to ask for it specifically. Mint is called 'Podina'.

  • i like the way you cook it inspires me cooking :D

  • Chef it would be nice if you list out the ingredients in the beginning or in the end with quantity. Love your work and positive energy!!!

  • SORRY SHEF

  • superb

    

  • hii, can we use simple urad daal in place of black urad daal? does it change the taste???

  • @pdoeoe25 Black urad dal is what makes dal makhni and look good with white cream on top, not sure if white dal will look or taste that good with red kidney beans . .

  • @pdoeoe25 No. You have to use whole black urad for Dal Makhani.

  • Indians consume too much ghee and sugar. Two deadly killers. Heart attack and diabetes.

  • @jogi1957 this is for restaurants

    not for everyday cooking

  • awesome recipe, great chef...have followed this countless times, spinach works very well in this and also you can borrow the cashew paste part from the Murgh Makhani to make the sauce even yummier ;)

  • There is no doubt that Vahchef is a professional chef - it certainly shows in his style of cooking and the manner that he teaches. I do cook, but there are certain dishes which I do not cook on regularly basis and have to jog my memory about the method and the maslas to put in the dish.. However, I shall inform you how the dal makhani turned out. Regards

  • Why does every chef cook in different ways and add different masalas. I have been watching the receipe of dal makani and the lady doess not add butter and other ingredients. So it is totally confusing for someone who is new to cooking. What is going on???

  • @nadia76284 Yeah you are right that recipes do change with different chefs. These recipes change region wise in India and they are modified according to taste. He is a professional chef and his recipes are very good and I have tried many of his recipes. so don't worry, go ahead and try this recipe :)

  • Can you specify the quantities of the contents you add?

  • omg !!! is that 1 tsp or 1 cup coriander ??

  • @shalini13784 It is 1 tsp and not 1 cup corriandor - one cup will be far too much. believe me and trust me.

  • Yummy dalmakhani.

    Please prepare a video for Keema Samosa. thanks you

  • Yummm !! I love your tutorial, you are great chef.

  • good one chef can u upload some gravy special video for indian cuisine. like how to make gr8 gravy for shahi paneer or rajma curry etc. or one for all use like tips for best gravy..Thanks a lot for inspiring us to cook & making cooking our passion.

  • i hv a doubt!!! its kastoori methi or kasuri methi??? and can we make it with only chana dal???

  • Awesome video thank you sooo much.

  • Please tell us the measure of tomato puree? I must've have added too much because my daal tasted like tomato ketchup with daal :-x

  • it is possible that we shall be use milk accept that cream

  • thanks chef

  • tu bolta jyada hai sikhata kam.

  • I love when he says a Pint ....good food though I wanna steel what you made and devavour it

  • Thanks

  • How much tomatoes pureed you're adding? I checked the Ingredient and it saying number 5. It means how much?

  • makhni means buttery. And butter is makhan in hindi..!!

  • I love your videos! Your energy is infectious! Thanks so much!

  • Billu uk

  • hi sanjay this is nilesh from welcom group baroda what u making today

  • You keep talking about cooking for a long time, this recipe cries out for adaptation to a crock pot.

  • i like your presentation skills.you r the best.good luck.

    

  • add.... the... coriander pooder..... then... chili pooder. LMAO

  • wow..! U r really super...! My mouth watered as I as u prepared this dish....am going to surprose my husband by doing this..!

  • how about Vah Chef android app in market place.

  • i always wonder what dal do they cook in restaurents. now i know. i cooked without butter- i cooked with milk and it tastes great!!!

    Thank you for giving the recipe..

  • @kasuvanu That is dal doodhi, & not dal makhani...for to be dal makhani, it must have dal & makhan (butter). It will taste ok, but will have the flavor of milk, not butter. Just like you can't add any thing brown & call it chocolate flavor....

  • thnx for the awsum recepie chef

  • ......vah chef from vah-reh-vah dat khaam LOL

  • Thnx for the awsum recepie chef! i tried it out it was finger-licking good!

  • You are the best chef,i like my mothers recipes and yours :).

  • awesom

  • how much grams butter should be added? tell me the weigh of daal n rajma u used here.

  • won't the cream curdle when put in Hot tomato? Usually this happens when I cook????

    Am I doing anything wrong???

  • @shinenshimmer I just finished making this dish(5:00 AM for me, Dal Makhini and some roti for breakfast, Haha!) and as long as you cook the tomato and dal for around half an hour, and add cream which is NOT very cold from refrigerator, it will not curdle at all. Just do it exactly like vahchef and you will be fine.

  • @ArgoSG Thanks dude!!!

    

  • I hate dals usually ,but i love this1

  • Can't wait to make this. Does the daal have to be soaked overnight? 

  • @1slamicLife No..you don't need to saok dal..pressure cooker will do it's work...

  • Comment removed

  • dinner 4 one or hundred???...by the way hope you don't get cholesterol after adding all that butter.....

  • Thanks chef for this wonderful recipe .... i tried this at home ...and its taste was juz like hotel dal makhani ....:)

  • Great show ...Thanks for the great dal recipe. No offence, but ur accent is really amusing.

  • At what heat is the dal supposed to be boiled in the pressure cooker initially? Low, med, high?

  • This is great! I come from Germany and I used to hate lentils because as a child we only ever got a very boring lentil soup with only salt and vinegar as spices. This is really lovely. Thank you!

  • i am also a chef and i know many way to cook dal makhani, but his way is totaly twisted between western and Indian cooking. in India people don't use cream instead use butter to taste creamy and buttery.

  • @magwep

    Yes, In authentic punjabi cuisine butter is used in large amounts. The richness from the amount of butter used is generally regarded as a symbol for how much the cook likes you. However, cream is still used to flavor dishes- just not as much as in westernized restaurants. Half a cup of cream in a gravy like this, big enough to serve 8+ people is pretty standard.

  • i love ur dishessssssssssssss,,i have tried alll and it comes out awesome.................

  • This guy is AWESOME!!!! I use him when I cook my Indian dishes!!!!!

  • Hi! Oke, I like it very much, but what exacty is 'Dal' is it lentilles? What are the other ingredients...? Thank you in advance for your answer!

    Namaste,

    Andrew.

  • @andrewzeegers it's a preparation of dry pulses (beans, peas, or lentils). In dal makhani, it's primarily black lentils and red kidney beans (aka rajma). Dal rules because it's vegetarian and high in protein at the same time, which is important in a society that for the most part avoids or even disregards meat as a food source.

  • @ThisGuitarIsAWeapon , thanks Guitarman...., I really like beans and I eat them veru often, so... making Dal would be the step that would take me beyond 'normal' beans... :-)

    regards and namaste,

    Andrew.

  • @andrewzeegers Namaste means Hello or Hi in Hindi. You gotta use that other way around. Thanks is Dhanyawad :)

  • excellent !

  • Comment removed

  • nice recepie.easy n tasty.

  • It looks awesome. But I realize that to get good taste, we probably have to add one tube of butter and 1/2 cup of cream (huh!)

    Thanks chef, you inspire me to cook.

  • what kind of bayleaf is this? indonesian , indian or "european" ?

  • Dear Chef, Amazing recipe, i got comments like , "This is authentic punjabi dal makhani" and "Did a punjabi cook this". Thank you very much for your recipes.

  • @bluewooter Its in no way authentic..Its fancy restaurent stuff

  • Hi Sanjay. I have a big party at my house and I am making this dal. Can I make it a day ahead of my party? Please let me know.. Thank you..

  • I made it and it tasted great... Simple and Perfect recipe... Ya one more thing, I tried ur Sarso saag with palak recipe and that was also as great as this one... Thanks...

  • I love,BUTTER

  • super

  • sanjay u have a very cute smile.

  • assalamualaikum.... wa'alaikum salaam... ;) 

  • Sanjay u r simply awesome!!!

  • one "peant" of cream (2:20). The fobbier, the better.

  • you are the best sanjay..!!

  • to home cooks, there is no need to add the cream - it's more of a restaurant ingredient addition to the dish.

  • Can you please add measurements of all ingredients?

  • Sir i dont have the actual words to pay my sincere tribute and honour to u

    U make people inspire to cook food in a superb familiar way

    Thank u so much

  • hi sir you almost burn jeera & masala (vagaar)but you hide that with haladi good job....

  • You forgot the coriander leaves :)

  • best reciepe of daal makhni on web well done

  • good one...!! constraint is time consuming..!!

  • I tried this dal today , and it turned out to be better than the one i have been eating in the restaurants , I am based in Uk , and this inian taste , i could get by my cooking , never thot that!! TY so much for sharing this receipe!!

  • Few people mentioned about it already, I wanna add it by saying again," Can you make an episode about how to make Fish Pakora". Thanx and keep doing watcho doing.

  • I made this Dal Makhni today and I used canned tomato puree, it turned out sour, so I added roasted onions at the end and it was extremely tasty. Thank you Sanjay for a wonderful recipe. You have made my cooking experiances even more adventurous...cooking is one of my passions because I always wanted to be proffesional chef.. but did an MBA instead...anyways I am improving...thanks to the internet....

  • Can we use cream cheese instead of whip cream?

  • @Matrixenigmawind I would not advice to use cream cheese as it is little sour and the dish may not live upto the quality if you use the cream cheese... u can use the cream u get on top, after boiling the milk in this recipe...whip cream is the same...hope this info can help u...happy cooking!

  • hi ,,,does this daal go along with boiled rice ???

    cuz making rotis or naan is just too much work

  • Sanjay, you are the most inspiring person and you really like what you are doing...

  • hi thnax for ur wonderful recipes..my husband love my cooking so the credits goes to u chef.

  • hey dis luks awesome bt jus wana knw dat do v ve to soak d black urid dal overnite befor cooking.. n instead of cream can v add whole milk???

  • This looks so delicious! I want to try it right away. However, what is meant by "chili powder"? In the US, that can mean either a mixture of ground chilies, cumin, and other spices, or it can mean ground red cayenne pepper. I am guessing that the red cayenne pepper is meant, but in that case, that was a lot of red pepper!

  • it was ground red chilli called red chilli powder.. available at any indian store... n yes, that was a lot of it... use much less if u eat mild...

  • do u hv a separate website whr i can learn to prepare a soft roti...

    to make soft i added a bit for corn floor but still i dint get fluffy.

  • Go to his web site,the link located above the subscription spot and get the receipe written out

  • the ingredients used in this recipe are:

    ginger/garlic paste,salt,cumin seeds,chilly powder, coriander powder,kasturi methi powder(fenugreek leaves powder),chopped coriander powder,whole garam masala powder,butter and tomato puree.

  • thanks for posting!

  • I find the accent sometimes difficult to understand. Would be helpful if the ingredients would also be posted in writing over the video.

    Recipe sounds great, looks great. But what is that white paste ? Listened 3 times and just couldnt get the name.....and the powder at the end ? Would appreciate answers - then I can try the recipe out. ;-)

  • It is ginger garlic paste. I guess thats where u stuck, rgt?

  • Ginger Garlic paste........ okaayyy.......yeah.... that´s where I got stuck. Thnx.

  • it was ginger garlic paste... powder at end was 'kasoori methi' available at indian stores...

  • Your dishes always come out great!!

    thank you!

  • lajawab....no other word for this recipe. i made it and my husband loved it.....thank you chef for all the wonderful recipes u hv given us.

    YOU ROCK.......

  • ur right.. my husband went bonkers over it too.. we used to go to le meridian in pune specifically bcoz of this dal n we got it right at home...
