Have never cooked lentils before but my ex wife used to do this sometimes and they were lovely in stews and soups. I shall try cooking them in a butter chicken sauce along with some small pieces of chicken - thanks for the heads up!!
Ooo! That will be lovely!
Good video.
Thanks! Glad to know it was helpful
This is awesome thanks! I added my salt at the start my book said not to now I still don’t know lol! Great info regardless!
I know - I’ve seen it both ways. But I saw more sources saying it was fine to add at the beginning. Lentils are so small that I’m not sure it makes a noticeable difference in texture.
Here I go, off to buy some lentils!

Hi! Interesting observation! Yes, lentils can definitely help with adding nutrition and hopefully better help!
Wow
I bought a mixed bag of lentils - no black ones in there, but every other color, so what do I do? Ha ha..... Well, I guess I could just throw them in the pot and say.... "Whatever will be will be!" Lol.... Cheers!
Oh wow! How interesting! I think you just lean into it! However, if you decide to separate them (hahahahha!) please update me!
All same nutrition ?

I cook them in half that time in a pressure cooker.
Yeah, a pressure cooker is known for cutting down cook time.
Try Indian Dal . Skip the spices if you're white .
❤️❤️❤️😂 I cannot handle the heat but I love the life Indians put in their food!
Did we have to know you are drunk when doing the video? Really?
Buzzed ain’t drunk yo
Hey James, have you ever read Psalm 104:15? I guess old King David shouldn't have wrote in the bible that wine cheered him up when he was down. Yes, it can be abused, but in moderation it's a gift from God. Psalm 104: 15 "And wine, which makes a human heart cheerful, So that he makes his face gleam with oil."
