"Dal makhani (Hindi: दाल माखनी) is a treasured staple food, originally from Punjab in India. This dish is a type of daal (boiled lentils or other dried legume/pulse) eaten in India (in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and the Bhojpuri area of Bihar). As well as with roti or rice, it is also commonly eaten with either naan or chapatis.

Dal Makhani is one of Punjabi cuisine's most characteristic signature dishes, and is high in protein--an important attribute in primarily vegetarian cultures. Traditionally this dal is cooked on low flame, for hours, on charcoal, which gives it a rich creamy texture. When cooked at home today, more moderate amounts of cream or butter are often used. When prepared in restaurants in India, the United Kingdom or United States, it is cooked slowly on low heat and usually has a large amount of cream and/or butter added." (Wikipedia)
