Dal makhani (pronounced ) is a dish originating in Punjab region. A relatively modern variation of traditional lentil dishes, it is made with urad dal (black beans) and other pulses, and includes butter and cream (makhani is a Punjabi word for butter).

History

Kundan Lal Jaggi and Kundan Lal Gujral, both Punjabi Hindu migrants from Peshawar, had already invented butter chicken and were looking to create a vegetarian dish that would complement it. A regular diner at Moti Mahal, the restaurant that Jaggi ran in Daryaganj in Delhi, suggested that something exciting could be created out of urad dal commonly used in traditional dishes, leading to the invention of dal makhani.

The dish has been around for centuries, but it gained popularity in the 20th century, particularly after the Partition of India in 1947. Many Punjabi families migrated to different parts of India and the world, and they brought their cuisine with them, including Dal Makhni.
