History

Dal makhani served with rice
Kundan Lal Jaggi had already invented the now world-famous Butter Chicken[3] and was looking to create a vegetarian dish that would complement it. A regular diner at Moti Mahal, the restaurant that Jaggi ran with two other partners, suggested that something exciting should be created out of the maa ki dal.[3]
