About Our Dal Makhani

Dal Makhani is the crown jewel of Punjabi vegetarian cooking, and at Doaba Meat Shop and Take-out Restaurant, we prepare it with patience and care. Our dal is made with whole black lentils (urad dal) and rajma (kidney beans), soaked overnight and slow-cooked for hours.

The lentils are simmered with tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a careful blend of spices, then finished with a generous amount of butter and cream. The slow cooking process breaks down the lentils into a rich, velvety consistency that's deeply satisfying. Paired with fresh naan or rice, it's pure Punjabi comfort food.
