      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.

      This is promising to read, been tweaking my dal for the last little while, but it still doesn't have the pop I am looking for, hopefully this time around it's better, if not I'll try again sometime this month and try to figure out where I went wrong. In the beginning of the video itself I realised I have been caramelizing my onions which would lose the chunkiness and blend right with the lentils

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Some Tabasco instead of chilli
    Fresh rosemary instead of fenugreek
    Tomato paste in a tube instead of fresh
    Fresh parsley instead of fresh coriander
    A really delicious, simple and quick meal, I had mine with boiled rice and I made a chappatti to go with it. Thank you very much Hari.

Do fenugreek seeds taste the same as the leaves? i've never used either before...just wondering.... thanks for sharing your talents

      Hi I'm so pleased you enjoyed this so much. Fenugreek seeds are much stronger than the leaves also called methi. I wouldnt use the seeds or powder as a substitute just miss them out if you don't have them but you can order them from here - www.harighotra.co.uk/shop/indian-spices-for-sale

    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.
