For a nutritious twist on Dal Makhani, try serving it with quinoa instead of rice. Quinoa is a protein-rich grain that complements the flavors of the lentils and beans beautifully. Cook the lentils and beans as usual, and serve them over a bed of fluffy quinoa. This variation adds a healthy and wholesome touch to the classic dish, making it a perfect choice for those looking to incorporate more grains into their diet.
