The recipe for Madhur Jaffrey’s Instant Pot Dal Makhani came into my inbox via The NY Times recently. I wanted to try it again after my first attempt. I followed the recipe as written except the very last instruction about transferring to a serving dish then putting in the Tarka. I stirred in the tarka into the IP instead because who wants to clean another dish and I was running short on time.
It took a little longer than I would have liked to thicken up, so if I were to make this again, I would probably use less water. Other than that, I liked how it turned out and it was simpler than my first attempt at this dish. I liked how it had just a bit of spice at the end. The rest of the family however weren’t as enthusiastic. The kids ate it reluctantly and E called it poo and dog food, but he ate it anyway, so who knows!?
