Experience our authentic Daal Makhni, a signature dish at India Taj Indo-Chinese Cuisine. Featuring rich black lentils slow-cooked with butter and cream, creating a velvety texture that's simply irresistible. This traditional Punjabi dish is seasoned with aromatic spices and finished with a touch of cream for the perfect balance of flavors.
Daal Makhni (Black Lentil Dal) is one of India's most beloved dishes and a signature specialty at India Taj Indo-Chinese Cuisine. Our authentic recipe begins with carefully selected black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans that are soaked overnight and then slow-cooked to perfection, creating a creamy, velvety texture that's simply irresistible. The lentils are simmered in a rich sauce made with butter, cream, and a carefully balanced blend of aromatic spices including garam masala and Kashmiri red chili powder.
What makes our Daal Makhni special is the traditional slow-cooking process that allows the flavors to develop and meld together perfectly. The result is a dish that's rich without being heavy, flavorful without overwhelming spice, and with that distinctive authentic Punjabi taste that elevates the dish. We serve our Daal Makhni with your choice of basmati rice or freshly baked naan bread, making it the perfect comfort food for any occasion. Available for delivery, takeout, and dine-in throughout Sherwood Park.
