Nice ! Thanks .some people really dont know how to cook basic stuff ..like kids newly at Univ .or newly married youngsters .this recipe will surely help them
I'm an Italian man who likes very much indian food, but I had a few opportunity to eat it in Indian restaurants pretty much away from my little town. Then I found this video and I followed the recipe delivered by Mrs Prema and...miracolously I was able to eat my hown home-made Indian Dah (very testy indeed!!!) Thank you very much Mrs Prema (such a sweet lady) for your clear and lovely advices. In the meanwhile I've also learned how to cook Tikka Masala Chicken , and it was as well a success!

I just love the authentic learning opportunities one has with RUclips.
I wish there was a whole youtube channel of this Mom teaching Indian cooking. She gives wonderful instructions. I have looked at a lot of other you tubes for dal and she has the best one.
There is an Italian Grandma cooking channel which is amazing, now we need the Indian Grandma cooking channel too! This lady is an absolute natural in front of the camera and a great teacher!🙌👍
@@annabizaro-doo-dah I also love watching Italian Grandma and thought just the same as you Anna! Another comforting fix of family and food all in one sweet package!
You are so lucky to have your mom! I lost my mother 20 years ago, she was only 49. My sister and I miss her very much in the kitchen. But I have all my ingredients out for Daal and it's the first time I am making it. I am so glad to find this video. So calming and comforting (both your mama and the daal)! I am going to visit my daughter this spring and this is a recipe I will make with her! She will be so excited about it! That's a 6
Auntie, good morning. Greetings from Trinidad (in the Caribbean). It was such a pleasure to stumble upon this video as I was searching for a dhaal recipe. My 90 year old grandmother passed away recently and it brought me such joy to watch you cooking. It was like being back in the kitchen with my Gran as she passed on her cooking secrets to me. May God bless you and grant you a long, wonderful life. ❤
Any chance of more recipes? I am a beginner and searched RUclips, but this is the best video on how to make red lentil daal. I have made it several times now. This recipe works every time. I know there are plenty of RUclipsrs, but this lady's explanation is perfect for beginners. Most cooks, will say do step A, then do step B and then step C, but her explanation is much more suited to beginners, because she explains what is happening to the food. She also explains what do look out for before moving to the next step. She is imparting her experience as a cook and telling us what signs to look for. A rare quality. I always think back to this lady when making this red lentil daal recipe. I do revert back to this video to refresh my memory! Please do thank this lady!. I am grateful to her for imparting her knowledge!. A true gem!
Hi I know this comment is quite late. You should refer to chef ranveer brar/Sanjeev Kapoor for indian food There are many variations of chicken . You should also try champaign chicken quite different from butter chicken and also bengali cuisine. You will definitely not regret. Regards Gargi.
Amongst some of the most beautiful cookery presentations I have seen on RUclips. Please Prema, can we have some more? The love and passion truly does shine through.
Thank you so much Aunty. My Mama passed away last year and i miss cooking with her. She always finished daal with tadka and i make it this way and remember her with love.
We made this last night as part of a meatless week and all loved it. Prema's unruffled, knowledgeable teaching is such a pleasure. I added 2 tomatoes from a can as they cook in easily and are so tasty, a boon for us northerly cooks. My 850W microwave cooked a Pyrex bowl of rinsed basmati rice in 9 mins, the water being 3/4in. above the rice to start. It fluffed up well, and the home-made ghee was a doddle too (search 'ghee' on YT). A super-tasty veggie meal! Thanks, ladies.
This recipe is perfect. I’m a novice in the Indian cooking arena and this Dahl came out fabulous. Love grandma’s cooking and teaching techniques. She’s awesome.
I was in tears - your Mum reminds me of mine who passed away 2 years ago! God bless you both. I miss mine terribly- she had the same quiet untiring sweet organized style of teaching yet could show you how to do summin 10 ways in a flash! Love your mum! Good health n long healthy life!
Prema has a vibration high in life! I love her interaction and narration of the dish. I can vision her in the kitchen cooking for the family with great ease grown from years of practice of perfection and intention of good filling food. Please extend my love to her!
When I worked in England my direct supervisor was a lady from India. I learnt from her how to cook chicken curry so I could bring it and we could have it during lunch breaks. Now I am back in Poland introducing curry to my family and friends. I also enjoy this video very much. Thank you :)
That was without a doubt one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Thank you so much for sharing with us; I love you unintimidating approach to cooking. Can you please post more recipes?
I was lucky enough to find this video when searching for "Indian lentil recipes without tomatoes" (which is not easy to find) and this was perfect! Prema is a great teacher and I too wish she would make some more cooking videos like this. Thank you Prema and thank you for writing out the recipe.
Thank you. This was great and may I add, so many young people get on and talk about how their mother made this or that recipe. What a treat to have MOTHER teaching us.
I like the simplicity yet can add other ingredients to increase the flavour without over complication. Fantastic explanation and easy to follow. thanks Prema will try today.
I deeply appreciate seeing how this is made for Indian Home Cooking. I'm a newcomer to making Indian Dahl. I like this simple approach to the basic product. I am having this everyday, though one notable difference is that I add cooked hull-less barley. I think Basmati Rice tastes better with it, but have opted for the barley, most days. Another twist is to add steamed chopped Escarole to servings. Sometimes, I will cook an egg in the hot soup before serving it. All in all the Dahl just pairs so well with Onion, garlic, a hot pepper and the cumin seed. Love the flavors! Thank you
@@mysteriousblast2435 It can be perceived as mushy. Red Lentils cook very quickly, under 10 minutes for the "petite split red lentils". The cultivar Red Chief is a larger split red lentil and breaks down in about 20 minutes. Cooking either too long (beyond recommended times) will make them mushier. Depends on how you like them, or even if you like lentils that break down. After about 7 min w petite red lentils i use an immersion blender to break them down further. I like to drink this soup like a cup of coffee.
I see that this video was posted in 2011 and here it is 2016! I'm so glad I found it. Your mother explained everything perfectly and I can't wait try it now. Thank you Prema!!
How is it possible that out of 398, 096 views, I'm the first to give this a thumbs-up?! This was like being right there in the kitchen with this lovely and gracious woman. Thanks for sharing!
What a great teacher. Clear and straight to the point and enjoyable to watch. I love daal. Will try this tomorrow. I agree with another commenter. Your Mum should have her own channel/show. Loved this ❤
I added the zest of one lemon. And some lemon juice once I served them in bowls. This was amazing. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. This will be a staple item for me.
I discovered this video three plus years ago and it is still one of my favorite recipes. It is so simple and yet full of flavor. Your mother seems so nice and sweet. I would have loved to watch more videos of her cooking.
I've made this half a dozen times with regular lentils in an American grocery store. I feel like she's my auntie now. Awesome recipe. Gave me confidence for sure! I've even forgotten cilantro and ginger and it's amazing.
I just love watching this! I've watched a number of times, and I'm almost convinced I could do it :) Thank you for taking the time to explain each step! From New Zealand. 👍✌️🤗
I have made your recipe for Dahl, many times but each time i get ready to make it, I watch your video and write down the recipe I love listening to you my Dahl turns out delicious each time I make it I have at least 6 or 7 hand written recipes, its a must for to make the Dahl.
Hello from Costa Rica. Many years ago a friend friend from Holland visited us and she brought red lentils and prepared a recipe her aunt used to make. Recently I wrote my friend and asked for the recipe... Which she forgot. Today your recipe pop up! I am a fan of lentils, thank you so much 🤗 Delicious
I am Filipino & Chinese and my husband is Punjabi. I just made this and he loved it!!! Actually my first time attempting an Indian dish! Thank you Grandma!!! More recipes pls 🙏
I’m making this at the moment. I always like seeing how different people use different methods and measurements and always looks appetizing. Love how this lady explained it so well.
Love Indian food I grew up eating this type of food. I learner how to cook a few dishes from my Indian friends and this was one of them. Now that i have my own family I prepare this and some other indian for my children. They too love it.
Thank you so much for this video. I love the quality and the details such as to not cover it and not to stir. I love that she explains how they would normally do this as well.
I have just made this Dahl exactly as in the video, and my partner said this was the best I had ever made :) Which is a huge compliment coming from him :) so Thank you!
Miss Prema, I thought the dish would be bland without meat so had some lamb on standby. Followed your recipe to the letter, my sincere apologies for doubting you, absolutely delicious.
Simple is the best very easy way to make .mothers recipe with lots of love share and care i was looking for such on the ground . now i can make thanks to both of you ...
Such a sweet lady with a mouth watering Daal recipe...Will try to make Miss Premas version one day and indeed I loved how easily she went through all the steps from chopping the onions to the last Tadka with Ghee...Effortless chef she is. Thank you Miss Prema for this nice recipe.
A written recipe is now in the description. Enjoy!
Thank you!
Thank you! Any chance there are more of these coming ? Prema is fantastic :) I would love to learn more from her
Also, great music on your channel!

This is a great example of the basics of Indian cooking which is never shown in America. Thank you for your contribution.
Prema is an amazing communicator. I am amazed at how smoothly she describes the process. Thank you!

My exact same thoughts, she sounds so much like a Malaysian mum.
This food looks delicious and this lady needs to get the prize for most soothing voice.
I scrolled through a few for a Dahl recipe and when I saw a grandma cooking, I knew it was the time to stop and take a look. Thank you! 👵🏽🙏🏻

Hi
I know this comment is quite late.
You should refer to chef ranveer brar/Sanjeev Kapoor for indian food
There are many variations of chicken .
You should also try champaign chicken quite different from butter chicken and also bengali cuisine.
You will definitely not regret.
