Dal Makhani
दाल मखनी · దాల్ మఖనీ
Creamy slow-cooked black lentils and kidney beans simmered with butter and cream. Low GI from high fiber and protein in the legumes.
Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Go easy on the butter and cream; the lentils themselves keep the GI low, so a lighter version stays diabetic-friendly.
