Very yummy and pretty simple. The hardest part for me was converting what whole spices equaled ground. I made a few changes based on what I had in my pantry. I used bell pepper and cayenne pepper instead of the green chilies. I used ground for all the spices except clove. I used extra onion. I also used 4 garlic cloves and an 1.5 in piece of ginger instead of the paste. I used tomato paste and water instead of puree. Milk instead of cream. And (by mistake) cilantro instead of coriander. It was awesome. We all had seconds and even my 1 year old loved it. The dog won't even get a taste.

I really liked this a lot. I was trying to find a recipe similar to one I had at my favorite Indian restaurant. This came daringly close. I used red lentils instead of black because that was all I had on hand. I also served it with some flatbread and mint chutney. Very yummy, thank you!!

great recipe, was looking for a recipe like the one at my local indian restaurant and found this to be just as good. I used french green lentils because I did not have the black urad lentils. Also I doubled the amount of kidney beans and omitted the cream.Definetly making this one again !

This is very similar to how I make my dal makhani too. Only I might add more kidney beans and use less tomato as too much gives it a bit of an acidic taste. I like your recipes and look forward to trying out more. Do post more as well!
