This Indian lentil Daal is a favorite and a staple in every north Indian home to street eatery to fine restaurants worldwide. Made with black lentils, butter, lots of tomatoes and spices it\u2019s comforting, creamy, smoky and delicious with rice or any Indian flatbread.<\/p>\n

I tweaked the recipe slightly and used French Puy lentils to achieve the creaminess without the use of butter and cream. I think the results are comparable. The trick is to slow cook the lentils so they break down and the starch renders a smooth creamy texture. Feel free add butter, cream or coconut cream if you\u2019re short of time or prefer the traditional recipe.<\/p>\n
