Add a bit of crushed dry Fenugreek leaves at the end for a flavour boost
Clearly paying for labor, not ingredients.
Been to dishoom a couple times before and surprisingly I never tried their dal. I only recently started to enjoy legumes more and man was I missing out . Will definitely try this if I ever go back.
K.I.S.S!! 😂😂❤❤
2 hours?? Just use a pressure cooker 😅
Anyone else remember a weird pre-youtube video with characters saying "dishoom" a lot?
You spent almost 5 hours cooking lentils. Gtfo!!
I went there it is great
Dishoom is not hard to get into unless you go at peak hour or don’t book ahead
I like to add some kidney beans as well in the Dal makhni but this still looks delicious
The tomato paste, ginger, garlic, and etc. is called tadka. If you fry it off quickly before you put it in the lentils it adds a great depth of flavour. Finish with dried fenugreek leaves for another punch of flavour.
Also if you're feeling fancy, when the daal is done you can make an aluminum foil cup, put some ghee or clarified butter in it, rest it floating on top of your lentils and then add a small chunk of coal to the aluminum cup and quickly cover the pot. Let the smoke infuse for 5 mins.
Anyways, it looks great just sharing my experiences. Chapati is a lot easier if you use Whole Wheat Atta (it's indian flour, should be readily available) I don't know why it works better than AP flour but it does
Looks good but personally I prefer a much higher lentil to sauce ratio, otherwise I find it just gets too heavy
My god that sounds so good, I have a little tear
I went to Dishoom once. The food was awful. Bland as hell with 0 taste whatsoever and it left our stomachs hurting afterward. Don’t understand how it’s famous.
This recipe looks fire tho ngl
Bro the chapatis look great!! Good stuff
If thats just "a touch" i wonder what a cup looks like
Add more tomatoes.
