It is made of whole black lentils (urad) and red kidney beans. These two are mixed with tomato puree, great amount of ghee, selected herbs and spices like garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, and sabzi masala. Makhani means butter which is why hefty of butter is used while preparing this dish. If someone love butter in their food Dal Makhani is the best choice for them.

Tandoori chicken: Also known as Tandoori murgh is one of my all time favorite non-veg food. If you are a chicken lover without doubt it’s the best dish to delight their taste buds. Its name came from the Persian word Tannur which means Fire so you can say this dish is for someone with fire in their heart. This dish is prepared from chicken that is marinated in yogurt, seasoned with tandoori masala, cumin, and nutmeg then placed on skewers. Traditionally, it is prepared at a high temperature in a cylindrical coven made up of clay called tandoor, which gives it the smoky flavor.
