This recipe pairs slow-simmered, buttery Dal Makhani with crisp garlic bread cups that act as edible serving bowls. The dal follows traditional techniques: overnight soaking, pressure cooking, and gentle simmering; so the flavours turn deep and mellow. The bread cups add crunch and make the dish easy to serve for gatherings or family meals.
