Dal Makhni

Dal Makhni the first dish that comes into our mind when we go to a north indian restaurant or a dhaba , the yumminess of this dish comes with the whole lot of butter in the dal.
I always thought its very difficult to make dal makhni , but after Vah Chef gave us this easy version of the recipe I don't have to go to a restaurant or a dhaba anymore to eat this , i can enjoy a nice bowl of dal makhni with soft parathas in my house anytime i want to.
I did i major change to this recipe that is i used a tin of black beans instead of dry black urad dal , the taste was the same just for convenience i used the tin , so friends click here for the tasty dal makhni video and enjoy the dish

Mushroom and Capsicum Curry

Mushroom was something i never tried before , once we had ordered it in a restaurant in hyderabad but we didnt like the taste of it , so we never tried.

Now came the main task of cooking them , never cooked it before nor did i see anyone cooking it , our good old google is there to help us out so i started to search for the recipes and was not satisfied with any of the recipes i got , then i had got idea why dont i make it the way i make chicken curry it'll turn out spicy as we prefer at home , with this small i dea i started off with the curry and did a few additions and it turned out soo good that now mushrooms is a part of my grocery shopping and a must eat curry once every 2 weeks.
