We finally got round to making the dal makhani last night.
Followed instructions for soaking and pre-boiling and after an hour an a half in the dal the beans were medium soft beans at best with some hard beans too. Gave it another 2 hours before giving up and having pasta.
Gave it another 4 hours bubbling away today, no hard beans but it wasn’t great, definitely not the creamy texture we were hoping for.
From what I’ve read this could be down to old beans which are past their best, really glad I’ve got 1.7kg left in the cupboard...

@moog how was the dal makhani?
I made a mutter paneer and a cabbage dish the other day and my wife made Meera Sodha homemade naan. Which I managed to overcook after an hour and a half's preparation on her behalf. They still tasted good though.
