I was so happy when I saw this recipe. It’s my favourite Indian curry but was too much of a pain to make the ‘real’ version at home. This recipe is perfect!! Thanks so much Kate. I’m a big fan from Melbourne Aus. X

In reply to Nina. Great, I was going to ask the same. Do you know how long does it last?

I had just purchased black lentils and was glad to find this recipe to use them. It was very good. I had it with basmati brown rice on the side and the next night with sauteed spinach on the side.

Wow, just wow. This Quick Dal Makhani is a burst of flavors, colors, and textures on a cold night. I served it over rice, put some lime zest in along with the lime juice, and added a dash of coconut milk. I did use black lentils (Whole Foods), which I think adds to the dish. I can’t wait to dive into the leftovers tomorrow. Thank you, Kate!!!

We do meat free on Fridays and it can be a challenge, but this is a DEFINITE, in the rotation. Everyone will eat it including the picky ones. Esp with a piece of Naan bread.

Question – I have green lentils that I just cooked. I”d really like to try this recipe though. Can cooked lentils be used and reduce the amount of water? Thanks!

In reply to Kate. Yes you can. I freeze dhal all the time. Portion it out so it’s not a solid block

Blending some lentils is good idea for making it creamy. Thanks for the tip.
