HOLY. CRAP. I made this for my family for dinner tonight and it is hands down the best dish I have ever made, possibly best dish I've ever eaten in my life. Sooooo delicious, it's like better than restaurant quality. Also shockingly easy to clean up after, too! THANK YOU NISHA!!!! Will be making this again very very very soon
I’m so flattered to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing and so amazing to hear it was one of the best dishes you’ve eaten!
I will give it a try for sure
I made it tonight also and it's so good! And using ingredients that are cheap and that I mostly have in my pantry! This will definitely be becoming a regular!
GIIIRRLLL!! Tried it too! I AM OBSESSED can't stop talking about it. EVERYONE loved it even the toughest ones!!!!!!!
Oh I’m so making this and sharing it with my neighbors. They are an elderly couple and my husband and I trade recipes with them and routinely have them over for dinner in non-pandemic times. We’ve all been so isolated so we make sure to bring them a meal every week. When they are done eating they usually take a walk to the house to drop off our clean dish and we enjoy a scotch on the front steps. It’s getting cold so outside drinks will stop soon but we are not going to break tradition and it starts with this meal.
YES!! A trip to India years ago made me realise I could eat veg without even think about eating meat ever again.
I am with you there my friend !
India is vegetarian heaven, yes but vegan friendly? Absolutely not. I am a vegan living in India and life is much harder than if I were living in the west. There are no plant based alternatives to any animal products, which means no plant based milk. I have to make almond, cashew and oat milks at home, which I don't really mind, but store bought ones in the west are fortified with calcium, vitamin b12 etc. I have to take b12 supplements. No soybeans in the market, no soy milk and therefore no tofu. (And I used to love cottage cheese when I was vegetarian). India is a dairy loving country and the biggest producer of dairy so dairy products are found almost everywhere, especially desserts. Ghee (milk fat) is also used in almost every dish.
Plus vegan restaurants are an EXTREME rarity. There isn't a single one in my city.
The only good thing about being vegan in India is that I don't have to endure the stupid and blatantly tone deaf arguments against veganism that one comes across in the west. No one even knows the term "vegan" here. I might be the only vegan in my city.

Hot tip: Keep the ginger in the freezer (it will never spoil!) and then grate in the frozen state. Much easier, super fine, perfect.
Thanks! I'll try that :)
Seems like more of a cold tip to me
@@bb2726366badoom tssss
Thanks for the tip
Ingredients:
● 1 tablespoon refined or virgin coconut oil, or a neutral-flavored oil
● 4 cloves garlic, minced
● 2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced or grated
● 1 tablespoon minced fresh turmeric, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
● 1-2 serrano peppers, diced (adjust according to desired spice level)
● 1 teaspoon ground cumin
● 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
● 1/2 teaspoon Indian red chili powder (if you only have regular chili powder, which is a blend, use 1 teaspoon)
● 2 teaspoons curry powder
● 1 teaspoon garam masala
● Kosher salt or sea salt to taste (I use about 1 tsp kosher salt, and add more at the end)
● Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
● 1 cup (180-190g) red lentils, or split red lentils (the split variety will cook a bit quicker)
● 2 cups (480 mL) low-sodium vegetable broth
● 1 (14-ounce / 400g) can crushed tomatoes (or half of a 28-ounce can)
● 1 (13.5-ounce/400 mL) can full-fat coconut milk
● 3 tablespoons unsweetened creamy almond butter
● 1/2 a small lemon, juiced
● 1/2 cup (~8g) fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
● For serving: Basmati or Jasmine rice and Indian flatbread such as roti, paratha, or naan
Thank you!!!
Thank you sooo much!! This is that I was looking for!!!
@@user-hp6kc4py6h No problem 😊
That's totally lovely of you to write it down, but a written recipe is linked in the video description above
@@medusa4944 thanks! I just hate having to navigate between the webpage & UA-cam video while I'm cooking (& chaotically rushing about the kitchen 😁) so I find having the ingredients list in the description or comments quite helpful
The is the best vegan dish I’ve made so far! My husband repeatedly said, “This is so good. Thank you for making this!” Even my picky daughter was lured in and ate it up. I swapped a few items based on what I had in my pantry - paprika instead of chili powder, tahini instead of almond butter, and white balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice - and it still turned out phenomenal. I can’t wait to recreate this using all of the original ingredients! Thank you for helping to make vegan dishes that are gobbled up by all!
Thank you for confirming with me that this recipe still tastes delicious with a few swapped ingredients!!
That's amazing! I'd've never thought to swap almond butter for tahini. How much do you add? I know Tahini is very strong and would hate to ruin the dish by adding too much 😅
@@umarishaque3936 i just made this dish yesterday with tahini and I used the same amount as stated in the recipe (2 tbsp). Howeverrr, you're completely right! I would recommend just 1 tablespoon :)
My daughter recently turned vegetarian, and it's not even for any ethical reasons, it's her not liking yet another food group. Next time she's home I'm definitely going to try her with this and give her the recipe. I worry when she's living away from home, I think she's not eating enough variety
“Event my picky daughter was lured in” 💀 lured in
Tip from an Indian who cooks lentils every other day: soak your raw lentils overnight (or even for a couple of hours in warm water) before cooking, and reduce your time at the stove by 50%!
She didn’t soak the dhal? Aiyah ..
@@kaffir76 Red lentil doesn't need to be soaked compared to green
Thanks
@@katyglazier4981 yup! And yellow lentils cook the fastest of the lot.
she cooked the lentils for 25minutes, that is not long enough to want to reduce the time :D i mean the lentils also have to absorb the tarka and the sauce a bit...
UPDATE: We made your Red Lentil Curry, EVERYONE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! I even doubled the recipe and the next day I had it for dinner, again and here comes my kids, “What, you were going to eat that without us? I want a bowl.” And here they just got done eating their dinner!!
The other best part, outside of how excellent it was, my 20 old son came down as I was about to start preparing and washed his hands and said, “Ok, put me to work”. After dinner he said, “Call me down anytime you’re making her recipes.”
Girl, don’t ever change that recipe, it’s spot on! Used turmeric too😋
Sounds like your son has a bit of a crush :D
@@rauminen4167 I completely misinterpreted that the first time I read it and was grossed out lol.
You're awesome!!!!!
@@callidusvulpes5556 me too I had to reread both comments
I just picked up all the ingredients and have never made curry before. I can't imagine why over 800 people would thumbs down this.
"curry smell" is literally the best smell ever. Lentil curry is my comfort food since the first time I tried it. can never get enough!
Agreed
I made this for my mom a year ago and she still talks about it whenever we call
You are a godsend. My girlfriend recently has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease and been on a very strict vegan diet. I’ve been looking around for dinner ideas and can’t thank you enough for the help.
I know someone with Hashimoto's disease that experienced a miracle healing. Please contact me if you want to know more.
@Mellouw can we talk? I think I may have Hashimoto’s or something similar but I have to wait too long to get into my endocrine doctor and what ever I have is hard to catch, my blood work shows my thyroid is bad only when I’m in the middle of a bad attack to the point I can’t breathe. Did your GF experience attacks at night with heart palpitations, soar throat, anxiety, sweating, tremor, shortness of breath, burning in lungs, intense hunger, difficulty sleeping, pain everywhere, for a couple weeks at a time every night, only at night or the afternoon? And then an off period where you feel sort of normal but also very lethargic, not hungry, and sleep a lot for like a month or so? Did she suffer from low B12 and low Vitamin D before getting diagnosed? Did she use heavy amounts of cannabis and nicotine to control her symptoms before she knew what was wrong?

There are so many Indian dishes that are vegan or vegetarian and taste delicious. TRY SEARCHING, Sabji or Sabzi
Ugh. I hate that kids are so dang mean sometimes. I can’t believe people teased you because your house “smelled like curry”. My neighbors were best friends with me and my brother growing up. They were Indian via the UK. I STILL remember how good that house always smelled to me. I remember their mom wearing lots of jewelry and jingling when she walked and listening to her sing along to the Beatles while she cooked. Such a bright happy home and family. They used to serve a dish just like this often. Great memories associated with this dish but I’ve never tried to make it myself. Didn’t think it would be this simple!
every kid was teased about something...kids are little shits! I'm German and we had some bizarre meals, and the kids mocked me for it too...
Their loss is that they will never get to experience what that smell tastes like😄. I use to be. One of those ignorant fools that had no clue of the awesomeness of the Indian food! 😱🤗
I would have said "What's smells so good? Curry?" Goes home: "Mom, can you make curry???" I had a 4th grade friend who just moved to NJ from California is 1965....I had TACOS at her house and had never even HEARD of a "taco." Got my mom to make the Old El Paso tacos....my dad LOVED them! I will never forget that! Well, we ALL loved them!
My house smells of beans and red chili and onions and warm tortillas!! Mmmmm
What's wrong with a home smelling like good food?
I am the vegan skeptic. I made this meal and converted myself. This was an incredible dish. I can't wait to make this again.
I'm a year late but this recipe is legit. I used substitutes for some of the ingredients and this curry still bangs (tastes delicious). Definitely in my cooking repertoire now.
My gf made this for me and it is the most complex and delicious dish I have ever tasted and that she has ever made. We have made vegan currys before and let me tell you, not one pot has ever been licked clean like this one has. We ate every last bit of this and I think it lasted 3 meals for us!!
Tonight it is my turn to make it ☺️
I just hate when the smell sticks to the walls
Love that! Thanks for the feedback!
my gluten free made it for me too👁👄👁
The first time I cooked Armenian kufta I went crazy on it too! Tasted so good and clean and delicious. Another very tasty red lentil feature.
I've never liked cooking and whenever I try a recipe it always fails. But I gave this a try and it was unbelievable! I was so shocked how amazing this turned out. My leftovers are already gone after 2 days and I need to make more!
One of the most charming smiles on youtube- pretty amazing- she always lifts your spirits.
All those kids that complained that your house smells like curry now are all "bougie" and "worldly" because they know of 1 curry restaurant that they pay way too much for.
You are a godsend. My girlfriend recently has been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease and been on a very strict vegan diet. I’ve been looking around for dinner ideas and can’t thank you enough for the help.
This is soooo forking truee!! Haha. And she is right, curry is waaay better thab dried out meatloaf. I remember those meatloaf nights, not in a positive way. Haha.
As a Mexican I second this when they talked about our cooking
@@niksnik3140 sorry to heard about. Indian cuisine is not just chicken tikka masala, or lamb masala or paneer masala recipes. The daily meal millions of Indian eat is simple vegetarian food and it has always option of using clarified butter/ ghee or regular oil. The pulses normally eat is vegetarian without meat.
@@robinslagle2293 How does one even dry out a meatloaf?
So easy to keep it nice and moist, just asking to be placed between rye.
Grated ginger hack: Buy a large batch of fresh ginger. Peel and chop into pieces. Throw into a Vitamix and add just enough water to make a thick paste. Put into an ice cube tray and freeze.Pop out and store in a freezer bag. Each cube is a potent 1Tbsp of grated ginger.
Thank you! My mom does something similar and always tells me to do the same. Do you think the flavor retains its potency over time?
Great tip.. Would you know what's an alternative way if you don't own a vitamax?
my mom grates both ginger and garlic and blends it and keeps in stock
The ginger cubes in freezer bags seem to keep the strong potent flavor for months. I usually do a couple pounds at a time.
I think the tricks is to use minimal water in the vitamix, freeze immediately and take it out of the ice cube trays right after freezing because it’s exposed to air and freezer burn if left in the trays for too long
If no vitamix, you could try a regular blender or food processor and see if it works. I’ve only tried a Vitamix though so I’m not sure.
Love this ginger hack. Thank you!
This is DELICIOUS! Seriously! The flavor is on point!
Ive been eyeing this recipe since the day you first uploaded the recipe, and now, over a year later, I finally made it!
My family loved it! They all went back for seconds, and that’s really saying something!
Thank you thank you thank you for this amazing recipe.
I made this last night for dinner and my family loved it so much that they’ve requested me to make it again!!! I had never received huge compliments before until cooking this dish. It was truly a hit and absolutely delicious. Thank you for creating this beautiful recipe! 🤍
When it's called "red lentil Curry" instead of "plantbased insert-meat-here", you know it's actually going to be good. Quality vegan dishes don't need to pretend to be something else.
So true! I will likely never be vegan, but plant-based alternatives are often garbage
Yes!! I'm no vegan but food can taste amazing without involving animal products. They dont have to try to make fake cheese or fake meat or fake mayo, like, veggies are already really tasty
I agree.
@@adararelgnel2695 There is absolutely nothing wrong in buying or eating mock meats. In fact here on youtube there are amazing recipies for anyone to try, channel "Sauce Stache", for example, specializes in making the best mock meats I have ever tried.
"they don't have to try to make fake cheese" What? I like cheese, I have eaten these foods most of my life, there is nothing wrong if I like making tasty food that doesn't require killing animals (and yes, all dairy cows are always killled when they are about half of their natural lifespan).

I made this for the family a few weekends ago. My husband is a carnivore. His idea of vegetables is frozen corn. Well he tried it just because my kids made him. He LOVED it. He loved it so much that he requested it tonight for dinner. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with me. You definitely convinced me and my husband. Will keep this recipe in my weeknight arsenal for sure! Thanks again 🇨🇦❤️😊
Hi Michele, so happy you and your husband loved this recipe so much that he asked for it again :) That's amazing news!
Maybe he should be cooking dinner, and get over his childish mindset
Couldn’t sleep, so I decided to make this six in the morning. It was incredibly delicious! I also made the garlic nan bread and it was amazing. My family had this for breakfast haha
I’ve been making curry for 25 years. This recipe is the best I’ve had. It is now my go to curry and the family is thrilled!
I can't believe I even made this! I had indian food like twice in my life, in my country it's not much popular, because we use less spices and less chilli and ginger, so for me is Indian food like a fire in my mouth. But I tried to be careful with the spices in this recipe and I love it so much! It's the best Indian and the best vegan food I ever had. And still can't believe I made it. Thank you so much for sharing these recipes, I'm starting realizing being vegan is not impossible for me.
Being British and a curry lover I was excited to try this, I'm neither a veggie or Vegan but I do often try foods from these categories and my wife sticks mainly to veggie and sometimes vegan diets. So wanting to make something nice for her, your headline grabbed me in and we were not disappointed. Superb recipe and so very tasty. Thank you
I just made this and it was such a big hit! Full of complex wonderful spices and flavors and so comforting. Your recipes never fail to impress. Thank you! 🤩
Made this tonight… OMG it turned out sooo freakin good! Like I couldn’t get enough of it! Will definitely be trying out Nisha’s other recipes!!! Beautiful dish. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻❤️
I've made this three times in the last three weeks and we've just run out and I'm planning to get the coconut milk to make it again today. It's so so good.
I wanted to join the chorus of voices praising this recipe and say thank you! I made it today, and it's incredible. Your channel is helping inspire me to incorporate more plant-based food into my diet in a delicious way. Keep up the good work!
I normally don‘t come back and comment after I try a recipe from youtube. But THIS is other level of recipe. For sure one of the best things I ever cooked/ate. Thank you so much 🤍
I just made this today, in fact, it's still simmering on the stove. I had to come on and say that this is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! It's something I'm going to cook a LOT. I cannot overstate how happy I am with this dish. My dinner guests are going to flip at how good this is. Thank you for this incredible recipe, Nisha! I've been moving toward a vegan diet as a lifestyle change so I can get healthier and this dish is going to help that happen by keeping my tummy happy and satisfied. I can't wait to try some more of your recipes!

Been trying more plant-based cooking this year had this recipe recommended to me and have now made it twice and it is one of the best dishes i have ever made. I added diced kale to mine because I am trying to get more greens and a diced potato. This will be in my regular rotation of recipes. love the channel!
Hi Ian, that's awesome to hear! So glad you've been trying more plant based cooking and loved this recipe so much! Thanks for sharing!

As someone who used to get teased as a kid for bringing Indian food to school, and now as an adult gets requests from friends to make Indian food I’m so happy to see you teaching everyone how to make a simple dal. Let’s make everyone’s house smell like curry!
Just a couple of things, if one is not allergic to peanuts, using coldpressed peanut oil to sauté spices in actually gives a lot of additional flavor.
If you sauté a small amount of ural dal or some cashews, it will give a slight crunchy feel at times to the dal. A little bit of textural variety, I guess this is why Indian moms are always yelling at us to not forget the tadka!
I love the coconut milk idea, that’s brilliant!
Incidentally my grandmother did not eat onions or garlic for spiritual reasons. What I’ve been told is that if you add asafoetida (hing) that actually can substitute for that flavor.
You have inspired me try this in an instant pot (which has been sitting unused in my kitchen for at least a year) 😊
Thank you for your comment! Yes, let's get more kitchens to smell like curry! I will be staying with my parents for a few weeks, so I'm looking forward to raiding my mom's stash (I know she has lots of urad dal and asafoetida!). Neither of my parents really use peanut oil so I'm not too familiar with it, but I will try it out!
@@RainbowPlantLife As a peanut sensitive person, I'd caution you about using this for your public recipes, It's generally consider a low quality, very mass produced oil. And makes some of us very ill. When I was small it was in lots of foods since it was so cheap, even candy. I never had an M&M until they changed the formula when I was an adult 😢. I've lately gotten into avocado oil (slightly healthier as oils go, with a mild flavor and high smoke point). I buy the spray bottles so I can get just a touch of oil for nice browning with virtually no calories.
I only rediscovered the flavours of peanut oil or groudnut oil after 25years of living out of India.
I remember that my grandmothers kitchen used to produce amazingly mouth watering dishes with this oil.
Of course, one has to check intolerance level.
But an honest confession is that using groundnut oil in my Indian cooking has helped me to lose weight too.
Thank you for sharing friendly sarathy.
Education in another style of cooking is always welcome 😊👆❤
Anna - so nice to hear your perspective! I had been using canola oil in America for many years, found that olive doesn’t really work well with Indian spices, it’s also not high heat friendly either. And then when I was spending time in India I realized that people are using ground nut oil or peanut oil and it would create a really beautiful taste in the dishes and this is a traditional cooking oil in certain parts of India. I like the spectrum brand expeller pressed peanut oil that you can find at Whole Foods. Also realized that different regions of India have different cooking oil’s, Yes, I find that cooking in peanut oil also helps with your weight, I think perhaps you don’t end up using as much oil because the oil itself is so flavorful. Good luck on all your cooking and health endeavors!
Thanks for the tip about adding some cashews. I really loved the crunchy texture.
As a meat eater... I fully & wholeheartedly approve of this message. This "Daal" or Lentil Curry is my personally comfort food.. nutritious, easy on the tummy & easy to make... I have been eating this for so long.. and I always salivate at the thought of eating this again
I think we need to revise the word "meat eater", you don't exactly eat meat exclusively, you eat other food including meat, so vegan food shouldn't be repulsive to you.
I'm an omnivore, I eat what I find to be good. Whether it's a Vegetarian, Vegan or Meat dish. I've had lentil curry many times. I personally prefer spicy Lamb Madras. But I'll sit and eat Vegan food with vegans without complaining because if the food is good, it's good. Now... vegan cheese on the other hand.... that's just wrong.
I've been learning so much from your channel!!!! My family just complimented me on a veggie dish I made tonight by layering flavors like you do. Thanks for the education!
This looks delicious and will be a part of my meals this coming week!! And I am even more excited seeing all the comments how incredible it is!
I made this last week, added tofo. Asked my boyfriend his opinion without context and he said next time I should just make the pieces of chicken larger, as butter chicken needs bigger chunks of meat. 😂Really an amazing recipe- I added the tofu and used light coconut milk.
Hii :) I have a question because of the tofu, have you just like idk threw it in there or have you baked it before or sth? Just curious because I have to admit that whenever I try to make tofu it comes out horrible..
@@sannanas5597 You can bet a large sum of money she prepared the tofu in advance. I'd bet she used an air fryer, too. Pro Home Cook has a video about three dishes he makes, and he air fried some tofu and they came out super crispy. Getting tofu right takes equipment, skill, and practice.
@@sannanas5597 If you want crispy tofu that also absorbs sauce, you can cut smoked tofu in little cubes, marinate them in a mix of sesame oil, fermented chilli sauce, a little shugar and soy- or fish sauce for a few minutes then put them and some flour in a bowl with a lid and shake them. If you have marinade left, add it to the tofu, add more flour if needed and shake again untill they are evenly coated. Then spread oil on a baking sheet and put the tofu on it. Bake in a preheated oven on 180°C for 30 to 40 minutes and turn the cubes over from time to time untill they are golden brown and crunchy, then add them to your sauce.
@@kiri23234 thank you so much i ll definitly try this!!!
Since I’ve discovered this recipe I’m literally making a new batch every time the first one is finished! LOVE this!
Okay so I literally never comment on videos, but I couldn’t resist this time cause THIS STUFF IS AMAZING!!
I was hesitant cause I didn’t want to get my hopes up by all the positive comments but THEY WERENT LYING! 🥺
I let my colleague try this dish (she’s Indian, I’m Spanish/Dominican) and she was sold. Told me it tasted like her moms curry.. that was the biggest compliment my cooking ever got 😜
Today I ate it again with fresh lime juice and fresh cilantro and let me tell you that finishes everything to the max! 😍
Thankyouuu for this wonderful recipe! ♥️
This is one of the best meals I have ever eaten! So many wonderful flavors! Thank you so much!
I can confirm this is THE BEST curry recipe I’ve ever tried
Wow, thank you! so nice to hear that, Martha!
i just made this and it is SO DELICIOUS !! i‘m not vegan but i‘m trying to eat less meat and animal products, so this was just perfect! my family loved it as well and i‘m definitely going to make it again. thank you so much for this recipe !!
Hi! So inspiring to hear you’re trying to reduce your meat intake, how’s it been going?😊
This is the best curry recipe I’ve ever made. The first taste and I knew I would make it again 😋 thank you!!
I've made this dish at least six times, and it was delicious every time! Thanks, Nisha, for your videos and recipes. You're the best!
Before finding your videos, I never really thought I was a fan of Indian food because I am not a fan of cumin in large quantities. I started watching your videos and seeing just how much more goes into many Indian dishes (as well as cutting back on the cumin just a touch), and man I can't get enough of it! I have made two of your curries so far, and they are fantastic. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! =)
I'm glad that my videos have enabled you to enjoy Indian food, yay! Indian food is all about a balance of spices - rarely is there a single spice that should dominate in flavor. And of course, if cumin isn't your thing, you can go easy on it :)
“I wasn’t that funny as a kid” that story and that line made laugh. The editing style is so cute and makes it easy to stay with the video. What a good video. Excited to try the recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely amazing recipe!!!!!! I was just looking for a regular curry and never could find one that had enough flavor and it never tasted super flavorful until I tried this one. Now it’s my go to and only curry recipe I use!!! Thank YOU!
I just made it for Dinner. WOW! my fav new dish. I was never crazy about lentils until now. Thanks for the great recipe.
Just made this after all the positive comments and....... it’s delicious. Omitted the pepper (my husband can’t handle spice) I also added 1 tablespoon of coconut sugar to balance the flavors. The lemon juice at the end is key.
This taste like butter chicken without the chicken. So good. Next time I’ll add Some fenugreek leaves.
Very good that u added lemon juice in India every home has it's own dal recipe we don't call it curry😅 in my house mostly add lemon juice in dal or tamarind paste with vegetables
Quartrinity="OKAY...WE'RE DONE HERE!" Chef, you had me crack up with that response🤣
LOL
I thought it was kinda rude..
@Eric Babcock , That's funny to you, whatever.
I agree with Erin-to the person who would NEVER talk to her husband this way...no one cares. You probably have a boring marriage. Get a sense of humor. She almost always takes his feedback but in this case she just decided to joke with him and his word no one knows. I replayed this about 4 times and cracked up each time! Perfection.
Definitely the best curry dish I have ever made from an online recipe!!!! Thanks for sharing such delicious meals with us!!!
I just made this for the first time and it was so good! Not only did it taste absolutely delicious but it was incredibly filling! Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe! Thank you Nisha 😍 !
Anyone who said your house smelt like curry never knew how freakin delicious curry is and how lucky you were to have authentic yummy food 🤗
I made this for the first time a few months ago and I've been making it (and a few other of your recipes) at least once a week ever since! It's SO delicious! And you're right, the next day it tastes even better.
Thank you so much for all the recipes!!
This was a game changer for me. It was easy to make and was better than any Indian restaurant food I've ever had. No exaggeration! I keep marveling at the fact that "I made it," and I'm not great in the kitchen. Nisha, thanks for this! I'll be ordering your cookbook!
Love it. I've tried dal recipes before that without terribly inspiring results. This was terrific. The almond butter, the squeeze of lemon, the cilantro -- it all comes together for both an irresistible taste and texture. Looking forward to exploring more of your channel.
I would also like to emphasize how easy the cleanup was after this. Literally one chopping board, one knife, only two pans, and one plate+spoon per person. Make this if you're not into washing tons of dishes.
Why are there two pans?
@@Welbru1 probably one for rice
Love the editing and organization in this video as well as the upgrades in your PDFs (like adding pics of “what you’ll need”). Y’all are killing it!!
You are so sweet :) thank you so much!
This has quickly become my favorite comfort food and what got me was this video's title. It's delicious, it's satisfying, it's aromatic. I LOVE how it lasts for days! It's something I never really feel bored of eating. Thank you for introducing a tasty plant-based meal. I have friends and family who have shown me that vegan food can be delicious and full of nutrition. This recipe and your channel have allowed me to discover exactly how. Thank you!
so i've already been making this for months but it's one of those recipes where you need to keep a batch of it in the fridge at all times, it's so delicious and comforting
I made this AMAZING curry today. I used fresh turmeric per her suggestion. I added onions because I can’t live without them lol I also used juicy fresh tomatoes and used tahini in place of the almond butter.
If you haven’t made this curry yet then do yourself a favor and do it!!!!
Thank you ma’am for this yummy yum
Thank you for confirming I can use tahini instead of almond butter, I was thinking that whilst watching the video. 😊
It has plenty of good recommendations, so I will definitely cook this. As the lady said it uses most of what you have in the pantry. Definitely my sort of dish.
This video was recommended to me; so I watched it. Then, I immediately got in my car and hit up the grocery store for the ingredients I didn't have. Having just tasted the final dish, I can honestly say that the flavors are so beautiful, and this dish is definitely a winner. I'm packing up an extra container to take to a coworker for lunch tomorrow!
I adore all your recipes and thank you for sharing with us Vegetarians/Vegans, or for people wanting to eat more plant based. I am headed to the grocery store tonight can't wait to cook this meal. Thank you again!
This is just scrumptious! I loved it! I’m sure mine was not quite as good as yours, but it still made me eat too much of it. I’m already planning to invite company and serving them this fabulous dish.
Made this today and it was beautiful, even my mum came to try some and ate it so quickly that I'm definitely making another batch tomorrow!
Haha yay! That's always a good sign. Glad you both enjoyed it!
This is so amazing that I make it over and over, always consistently delicious, full, rich deep flavors, all meld perfectly together. Brilliant again, Nisha!
Just made this and it was fantastic! Really appreciate recipes like this being shared ☺️💕
I have cooked this for a few people now and everybody loves it, me too. One of my favourite dishes!
Y’alllllll this was BOMB!! I followed the recipe to a tee (which I never do) and it was sooo incredible. I’ll be adding this to my rotation of meals. THANK YOU 😊
I had everything onhand, so I tried it . . . .totaly spectacular. Everyone liked it. I served it with pita bread, brown rice, sprouted pumpkin seeds, and some newly snipped chives and parsley. It's fabulous and filling.
a dish this simple has no right being so delicious, thank you soo much for the recepie
I made this again last night and it's soooo yummy. I do always add a large finely chopped onion and this time a grated courgette/zucchini as wel and used less liquid to compensate for the wetness of the courgette. It's a pretty forgiving recipe, I've made it with a jar of pasta sauce when I didn't have a tin of crushed tomatoes or passata, I've used really soft cream cheese when I didn't have coconut milk and so on. Coriander/cilantro tastes soapy to me so I use different green herbs instead. There are always containers of this curry in my freezer so I can have delicious meals really easily.
I’m not plant based, but this is one of the best meals I’ve ever made. I will make this forever, for myself and for guests in my home. Thank you for this easy, cheap, and mainly pantry staple meal. 20 stars out of 5
“Well it doesn’t smell like dry meatloaf” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m deaddddddd
Lol yeah that stinks bad..
😅😅😅😅😅
Never had meatloaf but it just looks like it smells bad 😆
I always had an aversion to the smell of omni leftovers. I feel like my vegan leftovers are much less unappealing as far as the smell.
Loved it! Lol :)
My gf and I made this and it was a magical experience. The layers of flavor, the deepness of the spices…omg this was so good. We loved it with 2 serranos (my baby mouth is evolving!). Thank you for sharing!
I just cooked your recipe. Now am sitting here eating it and my toes are wiggling. This is sooooo good! Thank you Queen 👑 ♥️🤗
I made this tonight and this was so amazing!!! I’m two and a half weeks in going plant based my kids don’t want to try what I’m eating but tonight they all ate it and more!! Thank you!!
Great timing! Just this morning I was staring at a bag of red lentils in my pantry and wondering what I would make with them. Your recipe answered my question, thanks!
That's such perfect timing :) I hope you'll love the recipe, John!
RainbowPlantLife question for you: I notice you (and other UA-cam chefs) dice or mince your garlic rather than use a garlic press. I’m lazy and the garlic press seems a convenience, is there a practical difference? Should I avoid using the press?
@@jpe1 no difference at all.
Subhajit M good, because it’s certainly much more convenient, especially if I’m doing more than one clove (which I often am)
I guess the big difference is, as you said, convenience. Personally, I find it more convenient to only use my chef knife when cooking as I just have to clean one item instead of two.
I tried your recipe today. I switched out lentils for garbanzo beans since it what I had on hand, still came out delicious! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
I love this recipe sooo much!! First curry I’ve ever made myself and it is perfect! One of my comfort foods now and even my non vegan/non vegetarian family likes it 🎉
I just made this for my boys 1, 9, 13. Everyone absolutely loved it. Thank you for the recipe. Amazing.
Have made this dish many times... never gets old. DELISHHHH, we all love it. Easy recipe and easy to find ingredients. Thank you for sharing it with us.
What a winner. I was so excited to make this and it sooo didn't disappoint - as you say, forking delicious! 😀 cthank you Nisha love your healthy eating story too. Xx
WOW. IT LOOKS SO GOOD. I'll definetly give it a try! Thank you, Nisha! 💕
This is now a staple in my house! I make this once a week and everyone loves it, even my picky one year old. We just use less spice for her baby mouth lol. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this gem with the world💜
OMG! I made this for dinner for tonight and my family absolutely loved it. My whole family were all saying "mmmmmm" on the first bite. Thanks for sharing. I have subscribed to your channel 😍
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video but I finally tried it and it was the best meal I made in a long time. This is no joke. A perfect blend of spices 👍🏻
Thank you for this delicious recipe!
I've developed gastritis and this recipe was a godsend. I was so tired of just soup and oats and this truly brightened my day. This recipe is even good without adding salt, lentils, chilli or pepper. Very tasty!
Whaat! Without the lentils and peppers it'd be tomato rasam. And no salt? !
@@shitalkanitkar5995 ooh I didn't know about tomato rasam. Gastritis is a very sad thing for people who love to eat. When it's bad it means no sugar, no salt, no strong flavors and not anything that's hard to digest, so no lentals. Maybe one day I'll be able to try this recipy how it was meant to be :)
My wife tried making this - so, so happy with the way it turned out! Great recipes!.
THIS WAS SO GOOD. Made it for my family and everyone loved it so much.
OMG - this is deeelicious - made this tonight and am sooooo excited to be having it tomorrow too 😋. Can’t wait to try your other recipes Nisha - thankyou 💕
This is hands down the best curry I've ever made!! Thank you it turned out soo good
This recipe exceeded my expectations. I have made 2 recipes from Rainbow Plant Life, and both have been delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your salubrious and delectable recipes.
I was never a fan of curry. I wanted to expand my tastes and tried out this recipe. It’s absolutely delicious! Not only will I make this more often, I want to explore different kinds of curry. Thank you for providing this recipe!
You are by far the best vegan chef on UA-cam. I learned so much from you! Thank you!
This is the best. You did that!!! I made this last night and it's amazing!!!
