Coming at you with the best butter dal ever! This dal is a famous dish straight from a Dhaba in my hometown. For those who don't know, Dhabas are little roadside restaurants serving simple yet flavorful and rustic dishes. They are an essential and vibrant component of the Indian food scene.

As compared to five-star restaurants, Dhabas have their own charm and lure and so does this dal. Minimalistic ingredients but bang-on flavor. This dhaba style butter dal always impresses us. After all, all of us sometimes want a big old bowl of comfort food and this dal is just that.

It's called Butter dal because the Dhaba fries the dal in hot spiced butter before serving.

Butter dal is a perfect and delicious Indian dal. This recipe just happens to be onion and garlic free. It's one of those recipes that doesnt use them by default. Street vendors don't always have refrigeration, and Onion and garlic in the tropical heat can get quite smelly so some chefs just make the dishes without them.
