Dal Rice | Dhal Khicdi Recipe

Today's recipe is a very simple Rice & Dal One-pot meal which is very delicious and can be made in less then 15mins. A Maharashtrian friend on mine used to do this often while she stayed with us and it comes out perfect each time she does. Instead of making the mushy kind of Dal Khichdi, she prepares this Khichdi in which the Rice grains are separate and we all love it this way. I adapted her recipe by adding Paneer to make more nutritious and filling.This Dal Khichdi is similar to the famous Arisi Paruppu Sadham of Coimbatore, main difference being the use of Moong Dal in place in Toor Dal in that recipe. A simple raita would go well with this humble Dal Khichdi. Relish it hot with a dollop of ghee and am sure it would be heavenly!

Restaurant Style Dal makhani | How to make Punjabi Dal Makhani | Gourmet Gravy recipe | North-Indian recipes

Dal Makhani, also known as 'Maa ki Dal' is an exotic Punjabi delicacy,which is prepared by cooking whole Urad dal and Rajma bean on a low flame for a long time,is a perfect accompaniment for Roti / Naan. The process of slow cooking lends it a unique flavour together with the Makhani (butter/cream) added at the end. However, by using a Pressure cooker, cooking time is significantly reduced to less than an hour, yet this recipe yields just as rich and yummy Dal Mahkani as the traditional one. This recipe is loaded with calories and it is definitely an occasional indulgence. However, I shall share the best Low-fat version of this Gourmet gravy soon. Come, lets bring the Restaurant richness to our kitchen too!
