Sai's Dal Makhani (Vg)

Title: Serves 1-2

A Slow Cooked, Creamy Dahl Makhani - Made with Love by Sai

This rich, creamy vegetarian curry by Sai, is made the way it’s been done in Punjabi kitchen's for generations... with black gram lentils and red kidney beans simmered slowly until they’re soft, tender, and full of flavour. Sai cooks each batch with fragrant spices, ripe tomatoes, a touch of butter, and cream, letting the flavours develop naturally so you get that signature velvety texture. It’s rich, wholesome, and feels just like something you’d be served at Sai's family table.

Sai balances the earthiness of the the lentils with the warmth of spices like cumin, coriander, and garam masala.  All you need to do is heat it gently and serve it with fluffy basmati rice, warm naan, or roti for a delicious and authentic vegetarian meal at home.

"I make my Dal Makhani based on black gram, a high source of protein and red kidney beans, this dish is further enhanced with rich cream and slow cooked with a blend of spices." Sai

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Sai,

Cooking meals is more than just pleasing the taste buds for me, it’s a project I endeavour where every dish is meticulously crafted for complete nutritional balance and gut-friendly digestion.

Inspired by my Grandfather, a great cook whose legacy goes beyond just cooking; it's about bringing joy to others through food. He used to tell me that his only goal was to see a satisfactory smile on every person eating his meal. He is the inspiration behind my cooking journey.

With a desire to alleviate the struggles faced by my loved ones battling acid reflux and diabetes, I focused on creating a healthy cooking style that doesn't compromise on taste. With each dish, I started developing recipes that are both flavourful and diet-friendly.

FAQ's

It has a gentle, family‑friendly warmth rather than intense heat. The creaminess softens the spices, making it perfect for anyone who enjoys flavour without the burn (!) even those new to Indian food. If you prefer more kick, add a pinch of chilli flakes or serve with a little of our homemade chilli oil on the side.

This Dal is made to Sai’s own family recipe, the same one he cooks for his family. It isn’t mass-produced – every batch is made in small quantities, with premium ingredients and no shortcuts. You can taste the difference!

Many parents tell us their kids love it. The creamy, mild flavour is a gentle introduction to Indian food, and the smooth, comforting texture is similar to a hearty soup. There are no big chunky vegetables, and the protein‑rich lentils make it a nutritious option children actually enjoy. Try serving it over plain rice first, then introduce naan or roti as they get more adventurous.

    A delightful light Indian dish. Loads of authentic flavours without the saucy heaviness of a meaty or veg gravy style curry. Will Oder again
