Storing
Any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days making it perfect for meal prep. This is also a great make-ahead recipe as the flavors continue to develop over time. I often cook Dal Makhani the night before especially when I have to serve it for a party or get-together. You can also freeze Dal makhani - I would recommend leaving out the cream and adding it just before serving.
Difference between Madras Lentils and Dal Makhani
So here is the basic difference between Madras Lentils and my Dal Makhani recipe:
Whole black gram beans are used to make Dal Makhani, while the Costco Madras Lentils have adzuki beans Dal Makhani also has garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala.
Use Adzuki beans instead of black gram beans Skip garlic and garam masala Add some butter along with cream at the end
