OT: Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani

CTMike

With some help from @caliking, I decided to try my hand at some authentic Indian food. The Butter Chicken recipe came from www.Indianhealthyrecipes.com, and the Dal Makhani recipe came from www.vegrecipesofindia.com. 

Unfortunately I didn’t have time to try the naan recipe @caliking sent, so we had to go with store bought. Had to order the fenugreek and black cardamom as they couldn’t be found anywhere around here. I also had to use green lentils instead of black.

I highly recommend these recipes, very tasty.

Either dish by itself would make a great meal, so both together are a treat!

That looks great. The texture and colour on the murgh makhani look really spot on, as does the dal.

Looks great. My wife has been asking me to start making Indian food. So I bought a cook book earlier this week and looking forward to the new adventure.

If you have an Instant Pot, or even if you don’t, this book is truly excellent.
