Dark, rich, creamy, buttery and utterly delicious - Dal Makhani is one of India's most special and popular dal. Obviously we're using plant-based butter and oat milk to replicate that epic creaminess, and man is it good. Packed full of flavour with ginger, cinnamon and garam masala, this is the kind of dal that makes any curry night better.
