Dal Makhani is the crown jewel of Punjabi vegetarian cuisine, and at Kissan Restaurant & Sweets in Tamarack, Edmonton, we honor this dish with the patience and technique it deserves. Our Dal Makhani begins with whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans that are soaked overnight and then slow-cooked for hours in a rich tomato-based gravy with butter, cream, and aromatic whole spices.

The long, slow cooking process is what sets a truly exceptional Dal Makhani apart. The lentils develop an incredibly creamy, velvety texture while absorbing the complex flavors of the gravy. Finished with a generous knob of butter and a swirl of fresh cream, our Dal Makhani is a deeply comforting dish that pairs beautifully with butter naan, roti, or steamed basmati rice.
