Flags
I'd add them myself if I knew how. This article lacks any sources, it's written like a 'how to' article, much of it's content would be better suited on WikiCookBooks, perhaps it should be merged with Dal.--Toepoaster (talk) 08:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Copy edit changes and more citations
Hi there, I have gone through this article and tried to make copy edit changes to the grammar, punctuation, text, etc, to increase its clarity and cohesion. I have added Wiki-links to terms which are largely unknown in English. I have also added a few minor citations, however this article stills needs someone to add more citations to verify the information contained within it.Jihadcola (talk) 12:18, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Jihadcola

Invented when??
One paragraph says "invented in 1947" and the next says "existed for centuries". Well, which is it? 74.72.136.132 (talk) 00:18, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Created in Delhi
Pinging user MrOllie. What seems to be the problem?

All sources clearly point at a POST-partition creation of this dish at the Moti Mahal restaurant in Old Delhi. Why should Punjab be named in the lead then? PonzBalancer (talk) 18:38, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Because (quoting from the article) it is a variation of traditional lentil dishes MrOllie (talk) 18:47, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @MrOllie Yes but it (dal makhani) originated in Delhi, lentils (dal) didn't.
 * Why did you remove my edit? There is zero source saying it originated in Punjab.

@MrOllie Why are you reverting my edits? it's literally sourced. Why aren't you replying here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PonzBalancer (talk • contribs) 12:33, 1 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Because you are disruptively removing the mention of the Punjab region as a whole (and both the nation states where it is consumed), despite the references clearly stating so. Additionally, you are a sock and currently reported here Kiu99 (talk) 02:44, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It does not originate in the Punjab region, that's the point of my edit. And it originates in India, why should it's origin be shared with another country? what kind of stupidity is that? Pakistanis have nothing to do with a dish originating in Delhi, doesn't matter if they consume it or not. PonzBalancer (talk) 09:08, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Read this reference right here. Stop removing sourced content Kiu99 (talk) 09:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * This source literally says that Punjabi migrants from Peshawar came to Delhi the partition and brought Punjabi Dal with them NOT Dal makhani (the dish here). The source also mention Moti Mahal being the restaurant it was created in, in Delhi. PonzBalancer (talk) 09:15, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * And now blocked as a sock account. MrOllie (talk) 15:10, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The current version of the lead is wrong. Source doesn't say it originated in the Punjab region, it just associates it with Peshawari Punjabi partition migrants which is why I modified it to say "Punjabi cuisine". I also added a line to the lead about it's modern form being developed in Delhi, India (Moti Mahal restaurant) which was reverted for no reason. It's debatable if anyone doesn't like that version, but removing the mention of "Punjabi cuisine" as a whole doesn't make sense since its what the source says. It is also consumed in Pakistan, which the sock removed. But I haven't checked the current sources properly if both countries are mentioned or not Kiu99 (talk) 07:05, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Additionally, I just reverted to the stable version instead of my own because of edit wars. Kiu99 (talk) 07:28, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Why you made this revert when you haven't even checked the sources? Capitals00 (talk) 12:40, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said, I reverted to the stable version not my own. My version didn't mention any country in the associated cuisine section, because I was not sure if the sources mentioned it, instead I replaced them with "Punjabi cuisine" for the time being because the source explicitly stated it. Region section already mentioned "Indian subcontinent". Also made modifications to the lead per sources. Added the line about being developed in Delhi per sources. I'm speaking of my version here which was the one being reverted for no reasonable reason Kiu99 (talk) 12:56, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
