INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the brown rice

Add rice, 1½ cups water, and a pinch of salt to a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 3 cups water)

2
Sauté the aromatics

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil)

3
Simmer the dal

Add lentils, coconut milk, turbinado sugar, and 1 cup water to the medium saucepan with the aromatics. Bring dal to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender, 22 to 25 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 2 cups water) TIP: To “sort” (as noted in the ingredient list) means to look for and discard any naturally occurring debris or stones.

4
Serve

When the dal is finished cooking, add just 1 tbsp lemon juice, butter, and ½ tsp salt and stir. Fluff rice with a fork. Ladle dal makhani into large bowls and top with rice and tomato chutney. Eat up! (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt) TIP: Keep remaining lemon juice for your own use.
