Dal is one thing, but Chef Meena’s dal makhani is quite another. Black lentils and red kidney beans bubble away until irresistibly soft, thickened into a rich, creamy sauce with ripe tomatoes. This lush mix is layered with spices, like garam masala, along with ginger, garlic, and a flicker of heat from kashimiri chili. It’s served with cumin-scented basmati rice, and a refreshing mango salad to cut through the creaminess.
