Lucknowi dal - Creamy Lakhnavi lentils

Lucknowi Dal or Creamy Lentils Lucknow style are a delicious addition to a full indian thali .

I had seen this lakhnavi dal recipe on gujarati cooking show . Awadhi cuisine (Hindi: अवधी खाना, Urdu: اودھی کھانا‎) is from the city of Lucknow, which is the capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh in india.
 
This is one of the tastiest ways of making Toor Dal . Pigeon Pea when cooked by itself gives a really creamy dal!

 In Lucknowi Dal, we just make it creamier by adding some milk  or cream to the final product.
 The result - a  tasty, superb satisfying dal that goes well  with steamed rice!
