Dal Bukhara

Dal Bukhara is a legendary and unique Indian dish that takes the simple concept of lentils to extraordinary complexity. This recipe comes from Bukhara restaurant in New Delhi, famous for its excellent preparation and unique taste.

What really sets Dal Bukhara apart is its slow cooking method, where whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans (rajma) are simmered overnight in a rich tomato sauce enhanced with spices. This long cooking process results in a creamy, velvety texture and an unrivaled rich flavor. The essence of this dish is that spices like garam masala, ginger and garlic combine with sugar and butter to create a rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor. Dal Bukhara Usually eaten with naan or rice, Dal Bukhara is much more than a meal; It is a hedonistic journey into the heart of Indian cuisine, where time and patience transform the humble lentil into a symphony of flavors and the embodiment of culinary excellence.
