For the uninitiated, Daryaganj Restaurant – started by Kundan Lal Jaggi, a culinary master who was a refugee from Punjab, invented the butter chicken as a way of feeding hungry refugees at a time when his kitchen only had a handful of tandoori chicken pieces to spare. Similarly, Jaggi’s spin on what was known then as ‘maa ki dal,’ was an experiment where he left lentils, aromatics and tomatoes to simmer overnight – which created the thick and creamy comfort dish.
