Daal makhani

     Have you ever been to a punjabi house for lunch or dinner? If yes then this daal is not a new term for you. Daal makhani or Makhani daal is a staple food in any punjabi household.
     Traditionally the daal used to be prepared in traditional stoves known as Chulha... which is a stove made with mud and lit with wood or coal. The daal was cooked in clay or mud pots giving the daal a unique taste which is difficult to achieve with the modern gas stove and pressure cookers.
