Dhaba Style Spicy Kali Mah Ki Dal
If you have ever been to dhabas, especially along the Delhi-Punjab highway and ordered Dal Makhani, you would have noticed that what you are actually served is essentially the spicy kali maa or mah ki dal. In contrast to the delicate Dal Makhani that you normally get in restaurants, this dhaba dal is quite spicy with an extra tempering of garlic, ginger, green chilies and lots of butter that simply makes it irresistible. Having a rustic feel to it, this dal is one of my favorites and is made at my home quite often. We love to enjoy it with some fresh tandoori rotis and Jeera Rice on the side. If you are more fond of the delicate and milder Dal Makhani, check out the recipe of Restaurant Style Dal Makhani on my blog. However, if you are more into dhaba stuff, then this recipe is a keeper.
