Savour our authentic Dal Makhni at Punjab Dhaba — slow-cooked black lentils and kidney beans simmered overnight in a rich, buttery, creamy sauce. This beloved Punjabi comfort classic is a must-try for every visitor to our Edmonton restaurant.
Dal Makhni is one of the most iconic dishes in Punjabi cuisine and a cherished favourite at Punjab Dhaba Indian Cuisine in Edmonton. Our recipe follows traditional methods — whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans are slow-cooked for hours with butter, cream, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices until they reach a velvety, rich consistency that melts in your mouth.
This vegetarian masterpiece is the definition of comfort food — hearty, deeply flavourful, and immensely satisfying. We serve our Dal Makhni with freshly baked butter naan or steamed basmati rice, making it the perfect dish for both vegetarians and meat lovers alike. It's a taste of authentic Punjab, right here in Edmonton.
At Punjab Dhaba Indian Cuisine, every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic Punjabi recipes passed down through generations. Our Dal Makhni is made fresh daily in our kitchen at 7619 Argyll Road NW, Edmonton, AB T6C 4A7. We offer dine-in, takeout, catering, and online ordering for your convenience — open 7 days a week from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM.
