Another approach would be: - add drumsticks/drumstick leaves/yin choi/snake gourd along with split pigeon peas to a boil till the lentils are done - add kashmiri chilly powder and turmeric and salt as per taste - add finely blended coconut paste(grated frozen ones seem to be best in BC at least) instead of coconut milk - add tempering of mustard, whole kashmiri red chillies (after toastng over the cooktop till it gets a slight char) and shallots. I prefer coconut oil but canola or vegetable oil is fine too but olive oil in this would be too dominant flavor This recipe takes about similar time but does not call for any other condiments like cardamom or cloves or cumin seeds, or garnishing with cilantro coz the tempering is the garnish. Tomatoes optional. More of a savoury (though heat level in this is mild) than a sweet dish.
Looks delicious! I like that you don’t skimp on the rice or curry. Is the coconut overwhelming or just a hint. I’m not a huge fan of coconut, but I’d like to try this.
7:48 One more thing, I absolutely love, love, love your presentation manner, the kitchen decor, the cooking utensils, the cutlery, the tableware, etc. , the Channel is so refreshing….I definitely find the whole experience MEDITATIVE! ❤😊
Your style is so refreshing : no dramatics, no alarming voice modulations, all very calming. This makes you very different! I'm off to do this lentil curry, even though we have a heatwave here.
I have made this a few times now. It's always so delicious. For those of you who might not try this b/c you don't have all the separate ingredients, here are my substitutions. They haven't impacted the flavor profiles for me. I use a can of Rotel or store brand tomatoes and chilis instead of the individual items listed in the recipe. I rarely have whole spices on hand, so I used ground cumin coriander and cardamom. I throw that into the pan when I saute the onions. Any type of white rice is best so as not to compete with the curry, but I have used wild rice in a pinch. Again not as tasty as white but it'll do in a pinch. This recipe is fairly quick and very easy. Don't wait to try making it as Yeung Man really knows what he's doing.
His recipie is basically just a variant of Dhal. You can get a basic Dhal curry just by Lentils (of any kind) and Garam Masala - which is already a mixture of many of the other spices in his recipie. Onions, garlic, coconut milk and tomatoes are all just recommended but optional ingredients.
Make it without any chilies, im allergic to nightshades so i cant have any tomatoes, potatoes, or peppers of any kind so i just leave them out from the recipe. It still tastes good.@southernyankee2300
I’m not Vegan or Vegetarian but, This has become a staple with my teenage daughter and I I may go down this road a lot more due to the cost of living here in Australia and now being a single Mum Thank you 💞
This is a great meal! It's simple to make. This man is great! He makes no unnecessary comments; he just very nicely explains how to make it in a very pleasant voice. He also includes the ingredients and steps in the description-so helpful and time-saving.
I was lying down with a headache when I got notification of this video. I was soothed by the music and the beauty of the new dish, now headache gone I am off to buy needed ingredients…😊😊🙏🏽🙏🏽
I remember when you first stared on UA-cam and had few subscribers. Im so happy that people are recognizing you cooking and great recipes. You deserve it. 😊
It’s daal - bhaat.. 🎉 i’m Indian & my son loves this dish since he was a 3 month months old baby .. now 29.. i have it with yogurt & salad.. i make different versions.. red kidney beans, toor daal, chana daal, mung daal .. chick peas.. black chick peas, whole urad daal etc
I am yet to find a cook like Yeung Man on YT. He is focused and he zeroes in on the task for the moment: the kitchen is clean and orderly, the ingredients are stored in labeled containers, and the utensils and dishes are nice and versatile; even the food looks forward to being served on his clean plates. The stove is more than happy to cook the ingredients and the music in the background does not jar my delicate sensibilities as I watch his skill and listen to his level tone of voice. The colorful colors -- like this dish -- appeal to the eye! What more do you want?
You couldn't have said it better 2020 Crabtree! Not a bunch of extraneous talking just great recipes and a very pleasant person explaining what to do in a pleasant way!!👍 Good job.
I have recently decided to become vegan... I was lost for recipes until I found your site, love the simplicity with pantry items.... I've bought your book!
My God no one has described the humble Indian dal with so much eloquence...it sounded like poetry to my ears 🙂 With this video, dal has truly gone international! Thanks Wil 😊
I'm not Indian but I'm 61 and been eating indian food since the as age of 9 , I have Dahl in the cabinet, I went to get cardamom the other day, too much for me to afford , I wish he had explained the reason to cook the spices in the pan with ghee or oil to release the flavor

I honestly like and appreciate the simple, no fuss directions, instead of the endless extreme, trying so hard explanations of the recipes some people offer during their cooking presentations. This is absolutely the best. Thank you 😊
I made this today, the way the toasted spices along with the other ones intertwined with the coconut milk, they were dancing in a circle on my tongue, Excellent!!! Thank you Wil ❤️ Salutations from the beautiful Canary Islands, Spain.
This is so relaxing, from the ultra clean setting, the soft voice and the wonderful music ! I love dal, but this recipe makes it even better. I loved everything about this video presentation . Thank you, Yeung Man .
Love this! Heartfelt gratitude for putting out world-class content for free! Please do keep up the great work! I have been binge-watching your videos for the past 1 week.
Hi Wil, I made this curry for myself tonight, and it did not disappoint! Wonderful mix of spices; I dont know how you decided on this combination, but WOW, how delightfully aromatic and tasty! This is the first thing I cooked from your channel, and it definitely wont be the last. Thank you for your wonderful channel.😊
Me too, it was the first one I tried, and it was so delicious, that I am now on my way to becoming vegan, with confidence that I can prepare healthy and balanced meals that are delicious!
I serendipitously encountered this video today and made this for dinner. I added dried currants just because I like them. I don't often encounter recipes that work perfectly, but this one sure does. Fabulous. Thank you.
I just made this dish, wow wow wow it was delicious! The prep took a lot of time, but it cooks up very quick. Well worth the prep time. Thank you for this!
Just been told in recent days that I am coeliac (UK spelling). My heart dropped as I love cooking. But I have no need to worry. Your channel has so many gluten free recipes - not by design but incidental. I have been signed up to you for some time...no need to change. You have no idea how reassuring that is. Thank you.
Made this curry last night and it was absolutely delicious. I didn't have a can of coconut milk so I used cashew cream and it turned out so thick and creamy. Had lots of leftovers too. Your videos are a delight to watch and your recipes are perfectly spiced and balanced. Thank you so much, Wil!
You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse. Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.
I've been drinking almond milk for quite a few years. I've just now been cooking some new recipes and changing my eating habits. I even tried tofu once. I will share this information as that is horrible that animals suffer that much!!
@@GetCraftyLemons Apart from the above, the dairy cows also go through branding, dehorning, castrating which are all given without pain relief multiple times in a year 😒. They can’t even plead for their death.
Just made lentil curry today so I went here searching for some other variations. And I have to say that I am amazed about Your energy. The way You cook and speak is so inspiring.
Easy and delicious. I added two tablespoons of tomato paste to mine, as my tomatoes weren't very ripe. This helped bring the curry around in taste profile and added some dimension. Definitely a keeper recipe! Thank you!
I've tried maybe a dozen different red lentil curry recipes and this is hands down the BEST! I've made it several times already and I can't get enough of it.. everybody loves it (my non-vegan loved ones also!)! such a beautiful recipe, full of flavor, depth and with all the cozy vibes! highly recommend :)
Hands down the best lentil dish I have ever had. It had so many flavours that blended together so well. I could not stop eating it. This is definitely going on my weekly menu❤
Thank you for the nice music while you are preparing the meal. I also like the no nonsense approach you have to showing us what to do without any fluff. I also like that usually your only extra tools are a pot or skillet, a knife and cutting board. I do not have a-lot of gadgets so I appreciate that you use this approach. Thank you for the delicious recipes.
First time here. Loved your straight-to-the-point style, clear instructions, no clutter words. So refreshing!! Image is amazing, audio too. Every detail is taken care of. Did I mention the recipe is incredible?
Made it today and though I have eaten various red lentil dishes, this recipe is now my favorite! Soooooo good!!! I even shared some samples with my neighbors so they could try it. :) Delicious. I just added a bit of lemon juice when I served it, alongside the coriander. Yummy. Thanks. ❤
This is so much like sri lankan way.. We cook like this except the part that we boil lentils separately and add to the other ingredients after boiling.. And in some variations we add mustard seeds too..and we add curry leaves too.. Coconut milk/cream+curry leaves is a must in sri lanka.
Red lentils are so satisfying. I used to make this for my husband and we'd top it with fried sliced onions with some toasted spices (cumin, mustard seed) It's a full meal and great on a cold day.
Just made this dish, and it turned out great! Very filling and tasty. I had to wait to get some of the spices, but turned out as awesome as I thought it would be. The wait was well worth it. Thanks for sharing.
@@bhavikasicka3098 because you take supplements for those missing vitamins and minerals you can't get from a vegan diet. If you're so sure of yourself, stop taking the vitamins and see how you'll feel after a year.. if you're still with us, that is :)
This looks utterly delicious and without having to soak the lentils! I have most of these ingredients in my cupboard...definitely trying this out at the weekend 🥰
I love lentil curry. I like mine a little bit soupy. Instead of using coconut milk, I use coconut cream to make it more delicious. Thank you for making this video, Wil.
@@janetlindsey456 Well usually in india this is more liquidy to consume with rice. But if u plan to make this recipe I say it'll go good wid Roti/Naan which is an indian flat bread since u can hold it easier. U can check videos on how to make them it isn't really that hard. I'll recommend Naan tho instead of roti. Just a personal preference. And also instead of olive oil I'll recommend using Ghee(clarified butter). They bring out better flavours. I wud hav recommended Mustard oil but it's kinda hard to handle so go with ghee or any neutral oil like peanut or sunflower oil. Don't do olive oil
Thank you so much for this delightful recipe. I purchased everything I needed to make it (including a mortar and pestle) over the last week. I finally made the recipe today and let me tell you, my home smells heavenly. The flavors are perfection! It was fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Yes, you can. You may need to cook them a little longer and mash some of them to get the same consistency as they tend to be firmer than red or yellow lentils.
Had a go at this last week and it’s such a simple and beautiful dish. Definitely recommend as it’s even more flavoursome than it seems and quite reasonable on the wallet too ✌🏼 keep up the great work!
Another perfect video!! You r amazing!!! I can have your videos on all the time. While in the bath, reading, meditating, having breakfast. And your voice! Thank you universe!!
I don't cook dal nearly often enough any more- back in my grad student days I would make a pot every week and eat it for 3-4 meals. It's so versatile- you can add any veggie you want after you've brought the dal to a boil, and it will be perfectly cooked when the dal is ready. I particularly like green beans or okra. I think the taste is better the second day!
Hi Will, I simply love your channel from the presentations, recipes to the photos. I've tried many of your recipes and the results was perfect. The lentil curry is a regular item on the menu list. The spices compliment the lentils and I savor the meal each and every time. Your focus on seasonings is an appeal to try something new. Thanks for sharing your expertise and fun way of preparing and enjoying food.
This is just what I needed! I've never made curry but I've had to increase my fiber so I am making lots of legume dishes. I will be making this soon! It looks devine🤩
I made this last night.... Better flavour and better for you than any restaurant I've ever eaten at. I'm never buying curry or dahl ever again. This was absolutely delicious.
I just cooked your recipe and had it for lunch, definitely a game changer. I put my own twist to it by adding homemade tofu. This will be my new way to do my lentils. I shared it with my friends they love the music, the ambience, your presentation is on point. One even say she felt like she was in a high end restaurant waiting to be serve.
Thank you for this red lentil curry recipe and thank you for your quiet, calm, easy-to-listen to voice and classical piano music in the background. So peaceful and helpful!
Oh yeah, I’ll be making this one!! I made your creamy mushroom soup tonight, and I made your chilli oil yesterday, so had a teaspoon or two of that over my soup, and they were BOTH delicious! You’d think the chilli oil may drown out the delicate mushroom flavour, but nope… the mushroom flavour still came through! Thanks for your awesome scrumptious recipes, Wil!! ❤️❤️❤️
I always appreciate your videos as they are enjoyable to watch a chef prepare food with integrity and soul. Because it is just myself and I wanted a small portion I pretty much cut it in half and used one of the small 5 plus ounces of coconut milk. Also because I didn't have the whole spices, I did use the ground spice and bloomed it all together. Smells great. I used bob's organic lentils and the cook time is a little longer. Added a splash of fish sauce at the end and dinner is served. Thanks for the recipe.
I love red lentils. I have a Masor Dal recipe and an old Gourmet magazine Red Lentil and Carrot soup that anyone can find online (Epicurious) as my favorites but I have yet to find a curry recipe I like. I'm going to give this one a try. 🤞
I'm definitely cooking this red lentil today! I've had two bags of red lentils in my cabinet for several months. Today I thought about cooking them, but wanted to first of all lookup the recipe for it; that's when I saw on my UA-cam homepage your perfect recipe you posted an hour ago. Thank you 😌💖
@@janetlindsey456 ua-cam.com/video/RMKJNsQ30io/v-deo.html It will taste like a falafel, put your own spices in the mix for eg I add raw onion, fennel seeds, green chilli sliced and ginger+garlic paste and lots of corainder leaves in the paste
This is my lunch every day but I call it daal. I don't add coconut milk, but I might try that. I often put some arugala or steamed spinach with it, or roasted oyster mushrooms. I love oyster mushrooms.
do you replace the coconut milk with something else, veg stock perhaps? I find coconut milk too sweet for my taste. Otherwise this looks amazing. thanks.
@@letXeqX I use better with bullion. They have a wide variety of flavors so you can change up the base each week. I love their mushroom and roasted garlic flavors!
@@mirabai305 Yeah, I read about better than bullion sounds great. Unfortunately not available in my country, drats! I can get those knorr cubes, but doesn't taste like real food. I'll go with homemade stock, should still be good. Thanks!
this video is so relaxing and your voice so soothing, i went out and got all the ingredients and just made this dish. I am usually a pretty lazy cook... so this inspired me. Thanks !!!
LAY HO MA! Thank you Wil for the no-fuss recipes. I'm a vegetarian and I really love the food you're dishing out. And I'm a filmmaker, too. Oh, I love that voice. It's very comforting just like the comfort food that I love which you feature on your channel. The lentil and the curry and the chickpeas! HEAVEN!
If you really want flavor full vegetarian food you should check out Indian vegetarian recipes. There is a mind boggling number of recipes and varieties you will find and this lentil dish is also Indian dal-chawal
You know you're working with sharp knives, when they cut tomatoes - like through butter..!! Wil, I love everything about your cooking, your kitchen and your channel 💜
Ya really it’s Indian daal(lentil) chawl(rice) recipe. Without daal chawl our dinner is incomplete. I’m vegetarian so I like ur whole recipes. Thanks for sharing. And we said these mix species (garm masala), we add in all curry vegetables but we add dry coriander seeds, black- green cardamom, cumin seeds,cloves, black pepper,cinnamon stick,nutmeg,bay leaves grind them well ur garm masala or mix species ready for use
hey just curious... ive been making indian recipes off of an amazing authentic veg recipe blog but ive never seen any dishes with coconut milk, which i love dearly btw. Have you? Think im going to try adjusting my a fav, dal tadka to this. Thanks for the vid
@@borednow after looking again, i see a quite a few recipes that call for coconut to blended with water so yeah, good call.... the blogger is from northern india which happens to by favorite which also factors in. thank you edit: wont say the blog out of respect for Mr. yeung but it really does seem truly authentic
I've cooked this curry 4 or 5 times now! Started with the Moroccan Chikpea Stew. Your channel is such a blessing and has improved my life tremendously. Thank you so much!
As someone who is *extremely* sensitive to hot peppers, I find the difference in heat level when the seeds (and ribs) are removed is negligible at best. Using just a tiny amount instead works better. Your mileage may vary. 😝
Sharing a wonderful meal with us, and how to prepare it you always do such great cooking videos and explain everything so thoroughly. Thanks so much my dear friend for
I came for the possibility of maybe learning something new and probably gaining a broader understanding of lentil curry - but I paused, liked, commented and stayed for the "you won't be able to keep calm and curry on" 😂❤ Even if step one was something that would otherwise disqualify the dish for me ordinarily, I'd still hear this out because damn, that sleek phrase earned my attention and respect 😊
I always enjoy your wonderful recipes and videos. One of the things I’ve liked about your videos was that you didn’t use background music. The music in this video was non-offensive but totally unnecessary. I personally prefer just watching you cook in silence, except, of course, when you verbally list the ingredients and measurements.
I think your brain tricked you for some reason because he's always had music in the background. Maybe he changed the song or the volume in this video and your brain detected it and you think he didn't have music before? I don't know but every video has music.
This lentil curry is sooooooo.... delicious and so easy to make. What is there not to love. Thank you for sharing this deliciousness. Making a batch for my son to bring back to uni.
Omg it looks so delicious & beautiful!!! Definitely I’ll make it… I need your new book… my husband loves that dish.. he is not vegan and it is sad that people don’t realized that we don’t need to sacrifice the animals life… be vegan 🌱 right?! 🙏
I’m Hindu & Gujarati.. don’t eat meat .. religion doesn’t allow it.. i eat what the chef just made .. it’s a staple for us.. i have more respect for animals for their loyalty towards people then people have towards each other
I’m pretty reserved when someone not Indian attempts to make Indian food. It usually ends up in them mis-pronouncing stuff or just cooking it blatantly wrong. You did an amazing job with this. I have been following your channel for a while now and I thought I’d leave this review. Thank you for doing justice to this staple food from my homeland! Can’t wait to make it your style :)
This is an amazing dish, relatively simple to make, but so many delicious, layered flavors. So happy to have found this recipe and channel. And my family appreciates having the new dishes added to the rotation. Thank you!
Lately, I have been in love with all curry food items. Your curried lentil dish looks amazing and satisfying. I like the pacing and musical background of this video. It is relaxing and above all educational. Lastly, it’s appealing that you have your sponsor mentioned toward the end of your video and not the beginning.
Wil it’s expensive and time consuming but you ever think about opening a plant based restaurant? In NYC you’d be beloved. Although I’ll admit COVID shut down a lot of vegan restaurants but some have opened back up. You got the touch my man. 👊🏽 🦇

I love your channel and just bought Cooking with Confidence. I would love to know who makes your food/spice storage system.
Another approach would be:
- add drumsticks/drumstick leaves/yin choi/snake gourd along with split pigeon peas to a boil till the lentils are done
- add kashmiri chilly powder and turmeric and salt as per taste
- add finely blended coconut paste(grated frozen ones seem to be best in BC at least) instead of coconut milk

Beautiful entry, and to Wil’s Channel ...
Completely agree, the atmosphere in these videos are so serene. I love it!
If it's spicy idk but they say spicy is good when it's hot and it cools you down or something
I agree - I could watch these videos after a long hard day and they're as relaxing as meditation. Bonus: I learn to cook more vegan stuff 😎

soon tempering is added after the dal us cooked. Simple

This is so relaxing, from the ultra clean setting, the soft voice and the wonderful music ! I love dal, but this recipe makes it even better. I loved everything about this video presentation . Thank you, Yeung Man .
Although I am greek, I usually make this recipe with split peas, soaked in water for some hours. I' m gonna try it with lentils too. Looks delicious!
Gia sou file!
Split Yellow peas, Split Toor Dhal, Split Mung bean mixed w/the split lentil add more protein. My 2 cents.

You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse.
Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.

I've been drinking almond milk for quite a few years. I've just now been cooking some new recipes and changing my eating habits. I even tried tofu once. I will share this information as that is horrible that animals suffer that much!!
Welcome to the green side 🌱🌿
That IS SAD...i WOULD HAVE NIGHTMARES MYSELF. THANK YOU for the info, I like that compassion instead of pain :(
@@GetCraftyLemons Apart from the above, the dairy cows also go through branding, dehorning, castrating which are all given without pain relief multiple times in a year 😒. They can’t even plead for their death.
Just made lentil curry today so I went here searching for some other variations. And I have to say that I am amazed about Your energy. The way You cook and speak is so inspiring.
🤗 That is very kind of you
Easy and delicious. I added two tablespoons of tomato paste to mine, as my tomatoes weren't very ripe. This helped bring the curry around in taste profile and added some dimension. Definitely a keeper recipe! Thank you!
Great to hear 🙌🏻
I've tried maybe a dozen different red lentil curry recipes and this is hands down the BEST! I've made it several times already and I can't get enough of it.. everybody loves it (my non-vegan loved ones also!)! such a beautiful recipe, full of flavor, depth and with all the cozy vibes! highly recommend :)
So glad to hear everyone is enjoying 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳
Hands down the best lentil dish I have ever had. It had so many flavours that blended together so well. I could not stop eating it. This is definitely going on my weekly menu❤
🙌🏻😎
Thank you for the nice music while you are preparing the meal. I also like the no nonsense approach you have to showing us what to do without any fluff. I also like that usually your only extra tools are a pot or skillet, a knife and cutting board. I do not have a-lot of gadgets so I appreciate that you use this approach. Thank you for the delicious recipes.
🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 Happy to be cooking together
First time here. Loved your straight-to-the-point style, clear instructions, no clutter words. So refreshing!! Image is amazing, audio too. Every detail is taken care of. Did I mention the recipe is incredible?
Oh wow! Those are such generous words and happy to hear you are enjoying 🙌🏻
I lived off these sort of curries at the start of my vegan journey... looks delicious 😋
My Gawd, this not only looks delicious but the video itself is so relaxing and soothing. Wonderful :)
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳
I truly like the the way you explained the recipe as you were doing the cooking .So easy to follow
Made it today and though I have eaten various red lentil dishes, this recipe is now my favorite! Soooooo good!!! I even shared some samples with my neighbors so they could try it. :) Delicious. I just added a bit of lemon juice when I served it, alongside the coriander. Yummy. Thanks. ❤
👨🏻🍳👌🏻🙌🏻
It's a beautiful Dal Chaval Indian Recipe. But i loved the twist of Coconut milk added and will try it for sure. Thanks for sharing
🙌🏻👨🏻🍳
This is so much like sri lankan way.. We cook like this except the part that we boil lentils separately and add to the other ingredients after boiling.. And in some variations we add mustard seeds too..and we add curry leaves too.. Coconut milk/cream+curry leaves is a must in sri lanka.
Red lentils are so satisfying. I used to make this for my husband and we'd top it with fried sliced onions with some toasted spices (cumin, mustard seed) It's a full meal and great on a cold day.
Sounds delicious 🙌🏻
Just made this dish, and it turned out great! Very filling and tasty.
I had to wait to get some of the spices, but turned out as awesome as I thought it would be. The wait was well worth it. Thanks for sharing.
So happy you enjoyed 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 Keep well
love your ideas and meals. especially your Mr. Rogers music. All of these things brings joy to me.
🤭 So glad to hear
It's soo easy to be vegan, thanks to South Asian food! 👌🏽🌱🍛 Thanks for adding your unique twist to daal!
What about vegetables rights.🍌
@@vonsauerkraut they have a right to be eaten because that’s how they procreate (spread seeds). Also the joke is moronic, old and corny
it's actually quite complicated as you need to eat a lot of vitamins on the side or you'll get sick or worse, die.
@@dopedrums I've lived 30 years without meat and last I checked, I'm not dead, soo.
@@bhavikasicka3098 because you take supplements for those missing vitamins and minerals you can't get from a vegan diet. If you're so sure of yourself, stop taking the vitamins and see how you'll feel after a year.. if you're still with us, that is :)
This looks utterly delicious and without having to soak the lentils! I have most of these ingredients in my cupboard...definitely trying this out at the weekend 🥰
🙌🏻🥳
I love lentil curry. I like mine a little bit soupy. Instead of using coconut milk, I use coconut cream to make it more delicious. Thank you for making this video, Wil.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yeah we make soupy too. Right consistency to eat with rice. Thicker version for eating with Indian unleavened breads.
@@Nana-Kunwar what else do you eat with the lentils and rice because I’m going to make his recipe.
@@janetlindsey456 Well usually in india this is more liquidy to consume with rice. But if u plan to make this recipe I say it'll go good wid Roti/Naan which is an indian flat bread since u can hold it easier. U can check videos on how to make them it isn't really that hard. I'll recommend Naan tho instead of roti. Just a personal preference. And also instead of olive oil I'll recommend using Ghee(clarified butter). They bring out better flavours. I wud hav recommended Mustard oil but it's kinda hard to handle so go with ghee or any neutral oil like peanut or sunflower oil. Don't do olive oil
@@rahulthapa108 Thanks for the tip on using ghee instead of olive oil. Trader Joe’s sells a really good garlic naan, too.
Thanks!
Oh wow! You are the best! 🤗🙌🏻
Thank you so much for this delightful recipe. I purchased everything I needed to make it (including a mortar and pestle) over the last week. I finally made the recipe today and let me tell you, my home smells heavenly. The flavors are perfection! It was fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Can you make this with brown lentils as well? Looks wonderful!
Yes, you can. You may need to cook them a little longer and mash some of them to get the same consistency as they tend to be firmer than red or yellow lentils.
Made this last night in my Instant Pot, delicious! Really quick and easy. Red lentils are the best, so versatile.
Had a go at this last week and it’s such a simple and beautiful dish. Definitely recommend as it’s even more flavoursome than it seems and quite reasonable on the wallet too ✌🏼 keep up the great work!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Another perfect video!! You r amazing!!! I can have your videos on all the time. While in the bath, reading, meditating, having breakfast. And your voice! Thank you universe!!
I made this exactly to your recipe yesterday and it was beautiful. Even nicer today as leftovers. Thanks so much.
Glad to hear you enjoyed 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳
Just made this and it’s fantastic. The layers of flavours makes it feel like more of a journey than a meal.
🤗
I don't cook dal nearly often enough any more- back in my grad student days I would make a pot every week and eat it for 3-4 meals. It's so versatile- you can add any veggie you want after you've brought the dal to a boil, and it will be perfectly cooked when the dal is ready. I particularly like green beans or okra. I think the taste is better the second day!
Please share your recipe with the green beans---I would like to try it. Yummy!
A lot of spiced meals taste better with time 😁
That's actually what we do here in India as well. Add some green veggies to dals like spinach
So many of my favorite ingredient, I can’t wait to try this! Thank you, I love your recipes and am very thankful you share them with us!
Hi Will, I simply love your channel from the presentations, recipes to the photos. I've tried many of your recipes and the results was perfect. The lentil curry is a regular item on the menu list. The spices compliment the lentils and I savor the meal each and every time. Your focus on seasonings is an appeal to try something new. Thanks for sharing your expertise and fun way of preparing and enjoying food.
Hiya 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 That is so nice to hear and happy you are enjoying
Gosh looks yum. It’s the authentic touches that tell me this is a winner. No shortcuts or westernisation
This is just what I needed! I've never made curry but I've had to increase my fiber so I am making lots of legume dishes. I will be making this soon! It looks devine🤩
👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
His style of cooking is a form of art.
Yes. Also, you should check out Peaceful Cuisine, another channel where art and [plant-based] cooking intersect. :)
🤗
I made this last night.... Better flavour and better for you than any restaurant I've ever eaten at. I'm never buying curry or dahl ever again. This was absolutely delicious.
I've also done it and it's amazing. Cooking is so much better than going to a restaurant. It's way cheaper and you know what you are eating.
The background music is perfect and your voice is soothing to listen. I will try this recipe never had my lentils curry.
You are in for a treat 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 happy cooking!
I just cooked your recipe and had it for lunch, definitely a game changer. I put my own twist to it by adding homemade tofu. This will be my new way to do my lentils. I shared it with my friends they love the music, the ambience, your presentation is on point. One even say she felt like she was in a high end restaurant waiting to be serve.
Thank you for this red lentil curry recipe and thank you for your quiet, calm, easy-to-listen to voice and classical piano music in the background. So peaceful and helpful!
🤗
This channel is pure gold!
🤗
Great indian dish! 👏👏👏 I add one cinnamon stick and a small spoon of black sesame into the veg. Thank you so much Wil!❤🤗🌟👍👍👍
Oh yeah, I’ll be making this one!! I made your creamy mushroom soup tonight, and I made your chilli oil yesterday, so had a teaspoon or two of that over my soup, and they were BOTH delicious! You’d think the chilli oil may drown out the delicate mushroom flavour, but nope… the mushroom flavour still came through! Thanks for your awesome scrumptious recipes, Wil!! ❤️❤️❤️
🤤🙌🏻 sounds delicious
I always appreciate your videos as they are enjoyable to watch a chef prepare food with integrity and soul. Because it is just myself and I wanted a small portion I pretty much cut it in half and used one of the small 5 plus ounces of coconut milk. Also because I didn't have the whole spices, I did use the ground spice and bloomed it all together. Smells great. I used bob's organic lentils and the cook time is a little longer. Added a splash of fish sauce at the end and dinner is served. Thanks for the recipe.
So happy to have found you. I really enjoy watching you cook. You have a great voice, pleasant to listen to.
I love red lentils. I have a Masor Dal recipe and an old Gourmet magazine Red Lentil and Carrot soup that anyone can find online (Epicurious) as my favorites but I have yet to find a curry recipe I like. I'm going to give this one a try. 🤞
I'm definitely cooking this red lentil today! I've had two bags of red lentils in my cabinet for several months. Today I thought about cooking them, but wanted to first of all lookup the recipe for it; that's when I saw on my UA-cam homepage your perfect recipe you posted an hour ago. Thank you 😌💖
🥳🥳🥳
If you like fried stuff, you can make their fritters
@@oompaloompa8077 I’m interested, if you can recommend a recipe site.
@@janetlindsey456 ua-cam.com/video/RMKJNsQ30io/v-deo.html
It will taste like a falafel, put your own spices in the mix for eg I add raw onion, fennel seeds, green chilli sliced and ginger+garlic paste and lots of corainder leaves in the paste
@@oompaloompa8077 This sounds good. Do you have a cooking channel?
This is my lunch every day but I call it daal. I don't add coconut milk, but I might try that. I often put some arugala or steamed spinach with it, or roasted oyster mushrooms. I love oyster mushrooms.
👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
do you replace the coconut milk with something else, veg stock perhaps? I find coconut milk too sweet for my taste. Otherwise this looks amazing. thanks.
@@letXeqX I use better with bullion. They have a wide variety of flavors so you can change up the base each week. I love their mushroom and roasted garlic flavors!
@@mirabai305 Yeah, I read about better than bullion sounds great. Unfortunately not available in my country, drats! I can get those knorr cubes, but doesn't taste like real food. I'll go with homemade stock, should still be good. Thanks!
@@letXeqX Absolutely, homemade stock would be amazing!
this video is so relaxing and your voice so soothing, i went out and got all the ingredients and just made this dish. I am usually a pretty lazy cook... so this inspired me. Thanks !!!
Excited for you to try it out! 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 Happy cooking
LAY HO MA! Thank you Wil for the no-fuss recipes. I'm a vegetarian and I really love the food you're dishing out. And I'm a filmmaker, too. Oh, I love that voice. It's very comforting just like the comfort food that I love which you feature on your channel. The lentil and the curry and the chickpeas! HEAVEN!
If you really want flavor full vegetarian food you should check out Indian vegetarian recipes. There is a mind boggling number of recipes and varieties you will find and this lentil dish is also Indian dal-chawal
You know you're working with sharp knives, when they cut tomatoes - like through butter..!!
Wil, I love everything about your cooking, your kitchen and your channel 💜
🙌🏻😊
I love red lentils and I love curry! Why have I never put them together?! Thanks for this, I’ll be making it soon!
🙌🏻🥳👨🏻🍳
Ya really it’s Indian daal(lentil) chawl(rice) recipe. Without daal chawl our dinner is incomplete. I’m vegetarian so I like ur whole recipes. Thanks for sharing. And we said these mix species (garm masala), we add in all curry vegetables but we add dry coriander seeds, black- green cardamom, cumin seeds,cloves, black pepper,cinnamon stick,nutmeg,bay leaves grind them well ur garm masala or mix species ready for use
hey just curious... ive been making indian recipes off of an amazing authentic veg recipe blog but ive never seen any dishes with coconut milk, which i love dearly btw. Have you? Think im going to try adjusting my a fav, dal tadka to this. Thanks for the vid
@@septicflesh17 south indian food has coconut milk in it, north indian not really... every region has their own way of cooking and spice mixes
@@borednow after looking again, i see a quite a few recipes that call for coconut to blended with water so yeah, good call.... the blogger is from northern india which happens to by favorite which also factors in. thank you
edit: wont say the blog out of respect for Mr. yeung but it really does seem truly authentic
I've cooked this curry 4 or 5 times now!
Started with the Moroccan Chikpea Stew.
Your channel is such a blessing and has improved my life tremendously.
Thank you so much!
It is a pleasure cooking together 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 Keep well and happy cooking
Thank you. This is far and away the best vegan recipe I have tried.
Wooo! So glad you enjoyed 🙌🏻
You are amazing! Yummy curry ✨ Thank you for sharing this recipe 🥰 will surely try this 👍
🙌🏻🥳
Aww… I’ve been making a similar recipe for the last few weeks. The difference is you used whole herbs. I’m going to try it this way!
🙌🏻👨🏻🍳😎
As someone who is *extremely* sensitive to hot peppers, I find the difference in heat level when the seeds (and ribs) are removed is negligible at best. Using just a tiny amount instead works better. Your mileage may vary. 😝
This looks delicious. Plan to make it tomorrow. I appreciate the gentle music you play in the background.
Happy cooking and enjoy! 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳
Sharing a wonderful meal with us, and how to prepare it you always do such great cooking videos and explain everything so thoroughly. Thanks so much my dear friend for
I came for the possibility of maybe learning something new and probably gaining a broader understanding of lentil curry - but I paused, liked, commented and stayed for the "you won't be able to keep calm and curry on" 😂❤
Even if step one was something that would otherwise disqualify the dish for me ordinarily, I'd still hear this out because damn, that sleek phrase earned my attention and respect 😊
I always enjoy your wonderful recipes and videos. One of the things I’ve liked about your videos was that you didn’t use background music. The music in this video was non-offensive but totally unnecessary. I personally prefer just watching you cook in silence, except, of course, when you verbally list the ingredients and measurements.
I think your brain tricked you for some reason because he's always had music in the background. Maybe he changed the song or the volume in this video and your brain detected it and you think he didn't have music before? I don't know but every video has music.
The music was lovely - the perfect touch...
Just made this Delicious 😋♥️ with my homemade chili 🌶 peppers
🌶👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
Thank you for your recipe videos, and for listing the ingredients right under the video, instead of only in a link that opens up in another window.
My pleasure 🙌🏻
This lentil curry is sooooooo.... delicious and so easy to make. What is there not to love. Thank you for sharing this deliciousness. Making a batch for my son to bring back to uni.
My pleasure and what a treat that’ll be for him to enjoy ☺️
Omg it looks so delicious & beautiful!!! Definitely I’ll make it… I need your new book… my husband loves that dish.. he is not vegan and it is sad that people don’t realized that we don’t need to sacrifice the animals life… be vegan 🌱 right?! 🙏
Say it louder, "be vegan, we do not need to sacrifice animal life."
I’m Hindu & Gujarati.. don’t eat meat .. religion doesn’t allow it.. i eat what the chef just made .. it’s a staple for us.. i have more respect for animals for their loyalty towards people then people have towards each other
Nice recipe and so cheap! I like to serve it with rice and Rainbow Plantlife's garlic and coriander naan breads
Sounds yum! 🙌🏻🫓
I’m pretty reserved when someone not Indian attempts to make Indian food. It usually ends up in them mis-pronouncing stuff or just cooking it blatantly wrong. You did an amazing job with this. I have been following your channel for a while now and I thought I’d leave this review. Thank you for doing justice to this staple food from my homeland! Can’t wait to make it your style :)
You are very kind and happy to be cooking together 🙌🏻👨🏻🍳 Keep well
Yeah me too surprised 🥰 pour some pure ghee on that😘😋 heaven
This is an amazing dish, relatively simple to make, but so many delicious, layered flavors. So happy to have found this recipe and channel. And my family appreciates having the new dishes added to the rotation. Thank you!
So glad to hear you are all enjoying 🙌🏻
Lately, I have been in love with all curry food items. Your curried lentil dish looks amazing and satisfying. I like the pacing and musical background of this video. It is relaxing and above all educational. Lastly, it’s appealing that you have your sponsor mentioned toward the end of your video and not the beginning.
Wil it’s expensive and time consuming but you ever think about opening a plant based restaurant? In NYC you’d be beloved. Although I’ll admit COVID shut down a lot of vegan restaurants but some have opened back up. You got the touch my man. 👊🏽 🦇
Wil, I'd drive to New York just to eat at your restaurant. Or wherever it happens to be
Most restaurants fail. Bad business choice imho. Too many other ways to make money
We will love him down in Florida too.😀
Go to Indian or Ethiopian restaurants and they have it. I love the Ethiopian lentil curry better.
He makes way more money on UA-cam for less work.
