Experience our signature Dal Makhani - overnight slow-cooked black lentils (urad dal) in creamy butter gravy. This traditional North Indian vegetarian favorite is known for its rich, velvety texture and aromatic spicing. Slow-cooked to perfection, creating comfort food at its finest.
Dal Makhani is a classic North Indian dish that showcases the art of slow cooking. Black lentils (urad dal) are cooked overnight with aromatic spices, butter, and cream, creating a rich and velvety dish that's both comforting and indulgent. The slow cooking process allows the lentils to break down completely, creating a creamy texture that's simply irresistible.
What makes our Dal Makhani special is the traditional preparation method. We slow-cook the lentils for hours, allowing the flavors to develop fully and the butter to meld perfectly with the spices. The result is a dish that's creamy, rich, and incredibly flavorful - true comfort food that keeps customers coming back for more.
At Elaichi-Family Restaurant, we honor traditional North Indian cooking methods. Our Dal Makhani is prepared with patience and care, using the overnight slow-cooking technique that has been passed down through generations. This vegetarian dish is perfect as a main course or as a side to complement any of our other specialties.
