 When we are talking about the most famous and most searched Indian delicacy which Dal Makhni. Maa ki dal and Dal Makhani is it the same or both are different dishes?? Let's explore the Dal Makhani with their most important characteristics.

The original recipe originated from the Western part of Punjab, which is now a part of Pakistan. It was the Peshawaris who made the dal and the Punjabis who made it famous by serving it with roti in Peshawar dhabas. So, when the Peshawaris crossed the border, they brought the recipe with them. After the partition, when many Punjabis migrated to the northern parts of India, they introduced the dish. Today, it is a quintessentially Indian dish that is must on every menu and is cooked in every home of India with slight variations. The rich vegetarian dish is served as the main meal and is an essential part of any buffet and served on special occasions.
