You know how there is always this ONE recipe that no matter how hard you try to replicate, you never seem to be able to hit it just right? Somehow, the taste of when you first devoured the dish still lingers on your palate, and even after a dozen of your experimented versions later, you still know that it’s not quite as close to the original. I have one too many of those, but a particular Dal Makhani, from a little nondescript restaurant in Kuwait, certainly tops that list! A few years ago, my Mom came to my rescue and recreated this recipe for Dal Makhani that duplicated the exact flavour I remembered from my childhood. Anyone who read that post and had eaten at the very same restaurant nodded in agreement that their Dal Makhani was definitely something out of this world! Any anyone who tried my recipe came back to tell me how much they loved it. Honestly, it is still one of my most popular recipes on the blog even today. The comments section alone shares a wealth of information! As much as I love and use that recipe for Dal Makhani on a regular basis, I decided to try and adapt it to use with my Instant Pot. I gave up using my traditional pressure cookers a few years ago and replaced them with an Instant Pot of two different sizes. This Instant Pot Dal Makhani recipe works with any kind of electric pressure cooker and will give you amazing results each time. A similar version of this recipe using a traditional pressure cooker can be found here. If you enjoyed this recipe, you will surely like my Instant Pot Everyday Dal and Instant Pot Rajma recipe as well. Tried this recipe?
