· The method
  1. 01
    0:00

    Tear the Jain Dal Makhani into a pan on low. The Jain version runs slightly thicker — add a tablespoon of water if paste-like.

  2. 02
    3 min

    Warm jeera rice or plain paratha alongside. For paratha: dry tawa, press flat with a spatula until it puffs.

  3. 03
    6 min

    Off the flame, stir a teaspoon of cold butter into the dal. Glosses the gravy; rounds the finish.

  4. 04
    8 min

    Plate. Top with kasuri methi crushed between the palms — nothing else.

  5. 05
    9 min

    Serve with cold sweetened yoghurt and a warm roti. Jain pickle if you have one.
