✓ This is a healthy vegan version of this classic dish, why healthy & vegan? because it's made without ghee (Makhan), regardless, it is an exquisitely delicious dish. Cream is offered at the end so anyone who is not vegan can add it.
If you can remember, we "discovered" this secret place earlier this year (a place which offers a little taste of India in London).
The best thing about our visit is that Master Chef Pankaj reveals the recipe secrets for his version of a Dal Makhani (or Makhni). We promise you that it is absolutely delicious.
This is very much a privilaged peek into Tifin Box's restaurant kitchen, watching a highly experienced cook making a large quantity of yummy Indian food.
This is delicious restaurant quality food; but at affordable Indian street food prices!!!
The Dal is a special, so it's not on the menu every day - if your're planning a visit to especially taste it, then please do phone ahead to make sure it's on the menu on the day that you visit, you can call them on: 07760 900 590
A special thank you to Chef Pankaj, Nipesh, Sunil & all the Tiffin Box team who very much welcomed us and graciously allowed us a privileged glimpse into their kitchen to do the videoing.
This Punjabi Dhaba style place really does remind us of India - can you believe they even have original Indian drinks such as Mazza Slice, Thumbs Up & Limca + Parle-G biscuits & even the seasonal Alphonso (Hapoos) & Kesar Mangos.
Tifin Box restaurant is located at: 14 Harrow Place, London E1 7DB
