Charred Dal Makhani in Tomato Gravy

Method

1. Build a hot grill and oil the grates well.

2. Season the dal makhani with ghee and let it come up toward room temperature.

3. Grill over direct heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.

4. Brush with yellow onion in the last minutes so it glazes without burning.

5. Rest a few minutes, then finish with garam masala and a squeeze of acidity.
