Dal makhni is North Indian comfort food at its finest, and ours at Holy Spice East Indian Cuisine is simmered low and slow for hours. Whole black lentils and red kidney beans are cooked until velvety, then finished with butter, cream and a warm blend of spices for a rich, satisfying vegetarian curry Winnipeg loves.
Our dal makhni begins with whole urad dal (black lentils) and rajma (kidney beans) that are soaked and then simmered for hours over a gentle heat. This slow cooking is what gives the dish its signature creamy, buttery texture.
We finish each pot with fresh cream, butter and hand-ground spices, staying true to the authentic Punjabi recipe. It is naturally vegetarian and pairs beautifully with rice or naan.
Great dal makhni cannot be rushed, and we honour that. Hours of slow simmering develop a depth of flavour you simply cannot fake, making ours one of the most comforting vegetarian dishes in Winnipeg.
“So creamy and comforting. You can tell this dal makhni was slow-cooked for hours. It is my must-order every visit to Holy Spice.”
“Rich, buttery and full of flavour without being too heavy. Great with their naan. One of the best dals I have had in Winnipeg.”
“As a vegetarian I appreciate how satisfying this dish is. Perfectly spiced and generous portion. Highly recommend.”
