For a lighter and refreshing twist on Dal Makhani, try making a salad. Cook the lentils until tender and let them cool. Toss them with chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with a tangy dressing made with lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of cumin. This salad is not only healthy but also packed with flavors. It can be served as a side dish or a light lunch.
