Experience the rich, hearty comfort of our Dal Makhni at The Farmer's Cuisine. This beloved North Indian dish features black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans slow-cooked overnight in mild spices, then finished with a generous swirl of butter and cream. The slow cooking process allows the lentils to break down into a thick, velvety texture that is deeply satisfying and packed with authentic flavour.

Dal Makhni at The Farmer's Cuisine in Winnipeg - Black lentils slowly cooked overnight in mild spices, finished with butter — a hearty vegetarian option

About Our Dal Makhni

At The Farmer's Cuisine, our Dal Makhni is a labour of love. The black lentils are soaked overnight and then simmered for hours on a low flame — a traditional technique that cannot be rushed. This slow cooking process is what gives our dal its signature creamy, thick consistency.

The spice blend is kept mild and aromatic — ginger, garlic, cumin, and a touch of garam masala — allowing the natural earthy flavour of the lentils to shine through. Finished with butter and cream, this dish is the epitome of North Indian comfort food.

Why Our Dal Makhni Stands Out

Our Dal Makhni stands out because we follow the authentic overnight slow-cooking method. There are no shortcuts — the lentils simmer for 8+ hours, creating a depth of flavour that is impossible to achieve with quick-cooking methods. The result is a rich, creamy dal that is truly world-class.
