No Onion No Garlic Dal Makhani Recipe

Step By Step Recipe to make No Onion No Garlic Dal Makhni

During the fast of Shravan, there are many of friends and members of Whisk Affair community who refrain eating onions or garlic for a month. Also, how can I forget the members of Whisk community who are Jains? Though I believe that onions and garlic are essential to bring a whole new plethora of flavours, I think one can even create an equally finger-licking dish without using them. All you need is a bit of creativity and a knack to understand how the ingredients blend with each other. That even applies to all the usual dishes that we make at home because their non-onion, non-garlic version can be made as well. I have already made a Jain version of Palak Paneer and if it pleases you then you can now even eat Dal Makhani during fasts or if you are a Jain by making No Onion No Garlic Dal Makhni.

No Onion No Garlic Dal Makhni is made by using khadi urad dal and rajma, whereas we definitely balance its flavours by adding umpteen spices, ginger and dollops of butter. I think that by eating a curry as yummy as No Onion No Garlic Dal Makhni one definitely feels more motivated to eat only one time during the fasts. So, if any member of your family or you are fasting this year, then you can make a bowlful No Onion No Garlic Dal Makhni and feast on it. Do note down the recipe for No Onion No Garlic Dal Makhni:
