      love how you tell about your childhood xx
      p.s. a add turmeric into the lentils too and salt only after it is cooked through (salt seems to make dal cooking a little harder). I also add dal into the vegetable masala (not the other way round) so that the masala flavours that are still on the pan come out to the dal.

    I have to say, I've been making this for years. I come back to this video time and time again. It's so good, easy, healthy, CHEAP and it freezes so well. It's both a staple in my weekend batch cook where I portion up doubled, tripled, quadrupled batches to freeze to have easy meals. I also turn to this for a fast meal during the week when I just don't have time for anything else.
    It's so much for appealing now in this economy with how expensive meats have gotten. It's a delicious, easy, cheap, high protein, filling meal. I hope more people find it.

    I first tried dhal when I worked as a security guard in one Indian kitchen and I'm telling you, I was very much fascinated. All food I tried was super good, but dhal is something simple, yet the best, at lest for me.
    Also, I have only nice words for my Indian friends. I don't work there anymore, but I still message one of them, and sometimes I get to see him, when he can come downtown.
    God bless India!

Better than the recipes that include coconut milk. Thank you a lot for a detailed recipe and all the additional explanations.

      i love cooking videos but only watch a couple channels because i get sick of these "food blog" and "food-tuber" style videos where the recipe is 80% the cooks life story, 10% showing off their cooking gadgets, and 10% actual cooking. I tried looking up some recipe on google not too long ago and the recipe literally started off with talking about the cooks great grandmother for half the recipe, and you know a recipe cant be that great when it starts off in 1908 and we have to slog through paragraphs of some Edwardian era maids life before we get to a soup recipe.

My Friend was even giving me tips on how to make it better but I told her that I was following the recipe in this video exactly.
    After I was done I asked her to taste it and give me her verdict. She went from giving me tips to asking for this recipe ✌😄

      Fruits are full of sugar. Oily fish is extremely expensive and thus not accessible to most people. Vegetables contain no calories so you have to eat kilos of them. Beef has a Major CO2 footprint, not to mention the negative health effects. Chicken is fine, fish is fine, .. both in moderation & only to supply you with essential aminoacids.

    I love this video and also the Aloo Gobi video from Hari. Watched it many times and have her on video while cooking to make sure the procedure's right. My husband says this is the best dhal he ate in his whole life! He's had many dhals in his life so I am so happy to say this. The wonderful thing is, this is quick and easy and delicious. Healthy too! So this has become our favorite Hari's dish for now. I've made it for ourselves and also taught my grown up kids how to make it.

    I would just like to thank you for this recipe. My partner is Asian (uk pakistan) In 15 years I have never cooked any of the food I enjoy with my v talented inlaws. There are awesome cooks in the family - how could I compete? I did try to make channa years ago (followed a recipe to the T bought everything from an Asian grocers) and it was awful and knocked my confidence. I've been trying recipes off YT during lock down. I started with pakora, then Saag Aloo, and I thought I'd try your dahl. It was delicious! - to be told it was better than my sister in laws was high praise indeed, I was speechless! You've given me confidence so thank you. I'm vegetarian and I've always said if I could cook, saag aloo, dahl and channa I'd be happy. So I'll find a good channa recipe next. Thank you again. Take care.

Watching you cook this I realised that dhal recipes are a bit like stews You can invent your own with whatever you have to hand.
