Instructions
- For Dal Makhani: Wash and soak sabut urad and rajma separately overnight in water.
- Boil sabut urad and rajma in three cups of water with salt for three four whistles in a pressure cooker.
- Open the lid and see if the rajma is totally soft. If not cook on low heat till the rajma becomes totally soft.
- Heat butter in a pan. Add cumin seeds. When they begin to change colour, add ginger garlic paste saute for few seconds then add onion and saute till golden.
- Add slit green chillies, tomatoes and cook on high heat.
- Add the red chilli powder and saute till the tomatoes are reduced to a pulpy mixture.
- Now add the cooked dal and rajma, add water as required if the mixture is thick and let it cook on low flame.
- Add garam masala powder and salt, mix it well with the dal.
- Let the dal cook uncovered on low heat while stirring in between so the it does not stick at the bottom.
- The more the dal is cooked on low heat the better the taste is.
- I kept for around 30 minutes on low flame while stirring in between. When the gravy has thickened enough, add cream to it and mix it well.
- Cook for another 3-4 minutes and switch off the flame. The dal is ready.
- For Tarts: In a mixing bowl sift flour and salt. Now add butter cubes. (Butter should not be softened, it should be right out of the refrigerator)
- Mix the butter cubes with your hand while rubbing through your fingertips to make like a fine bread crumb like consistency.
- Now add 3 tbsp cold water and make a firm dough. Once done, wrap it in a cling film and chill for atleast 2 hours.
- For mint dip: In a grinder add mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilli, ginger, garlic cloves, roasted cumin powde, lemon juice, salt and make a fine paste of it.
- In a bowl take hung curd add the prepared green paste mix it well till you get a nice green colour and keep it aside.
- For beetroot dip: In a grinder add diced beetroot, garlic cloves, lemon juice, red chilli powder, chaat masala and salt. Grind it a smooth puree by adding 1-2 tbsp of water.
- Take mayonnaise in a small bowl, add the beetroot puree to it and mix it well and keep aside.
- For assembling: Once the tart dough has chilled for two hours, preheat the oven for 180 degree and grease the tart moulds.
- Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface and cut out circles with a cookie cutter.
- Press the circle into each mould till the edge and cut off the rest.
- Make rest of the tarts like this.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180° celcius for 20 mins.
- Once done take it out from the oven and let them cool down a bit.
- Once cooled down, add 1-2 tbsp of the prepared dal makhani in it garnish with fresh cream and a parsley leaf.
- Serve the dal makhani tarts with mint dip, beetroot dip and fresh salad. Enjoy!
