I grew up in a very small town in Illinois. Our next door neighbor was a Lutheran minister and his family of 5 kids. Before moving to our town, he had been a missionary in India. His wife always had some kind of exotic dish on the stove or in their pressure cooker. Rice and curry was a weekly dish that we could smell. And being from a small town, the spices used were very exotic. To this day, when I smell curry powder, it takes me right back to being a kid and playing volleyball over their mom's clothesline. Their kitchen window was almost always open and exuding smells of foreign lands.
Lovely!
Reading your experience takes me back to playing badminton across my neighbor’s chain length fence. This was the early 60’s and the exotic aspect for me was peeking in my friend’s back door to see her father happily standing at the stove and whistling while he conjured up potato dumplings or a pot of navy beans. Men cooked!!? Mind blowing at that time for me.
"While studying for a degree in forestry and interning as a tree inspector" is somehow the *most Canadian thing* I have ever heard.
I remember when the Food Network was like this. Now all food stuff is competitions. Love your channel and your charity. Thank you!!!!
I'm pleasantly enjoying the thought of one of those vegan granola hippies you camped with that summer watching your videos on a regular basis and only today realizing "OMG he's that kid from university that summer!" 🤯
The recipe looks great. I loved the story about the tree planting hippies. My husband and I were members of the Hoedads, a collective of tree-planting hippies with a dozen or so different crews that operated in the 70s and 80s in Eugene, Oregon. In fact, we were planting trees near Troutlake, Washington when Mt. St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. The Hoeads were "cultural creatives" in our community of Eugene, Oregon. Men and women had equal say and equal pay. The Hoedads made important contributions to local institutions such as the Oregon Country Fair, the WOW Hall (a local performing arts center that was formerly the meeting hall of Woodmen of the World and is an iconic building in our town.) They had members who went into politics, and had an impact on local culture for sure.
My husband and I lived in a school bus with a wood stove, it was deluxe compared to tent camping.
Anyhoo, thanks for bringing back the memories.
I've never heard of this and really enjoyed your description. Sounds like a great group of people who contributed to the community and were ahead of their time in terms of being egalitarian.
Hello from Guyana, where curry is life! 😊 just wanted to point out to anyone interested, canned coconut milk and fresh coconut milk are two very different things. Canned is one note and fresh is layers of flavor.
My grandfather got a degree in forestry in the 1930s from the University of Washington. I actually have his diploma. And he then got a job working for the Cascade Lumber Company which became Boise Cascade. And I remember tenting out in the forest all the time growing up as a kid because we would go out on logging roads. It was the best and I still have fond memories of just tramping around on logging sites.
Love this. More hippie forestry gang recipes, please!
I have wondered about Glen's times in the woods for years. I enjoyed the storytime even more than the recipe
If you do not like coconut, blend some cashews up with water to get a similar creaminess. This can also be used for creamy pasta dishes too.
I'm not a coconut fan so really appreciate this suggestion.
really enjoy the younger day stories while cooking, please do more of your throwback recipes
Along with the stories!
Excellent. A recipe suitable for a diabetic. It looks delicious. I’m going to give it a try.
Glen: Great kosher meal and you air it on the Sabbath no less. Thank you. Put all of those ingredients into a slow cooker on Friday for a vegetarian/vegan cholent. Maybe add a sweet potato. The lentils act as a ground beef replacement. When lentils are slow cooked they develop a darker color, a thicker texture and a delicious flavor. The lentils also come to resemble ground meat in the cholent. Respectfully, W.S.
I think of cholent as having barley but this sounds really interesting. BTW, IIRC, red lentils cook very quickly and would probably disintegrate completely cooked overnight for cholent.
Thanks for doing a vegan recipe! ❤
Would absolutely love to see more vegan/vegetarian cooking from those trips! So many vegan cookbooks I find are making dishes with 10, 15, 20 ingredients (some of them being real specialty kinds of things) and it can get ridiculous trying to find something easy for an after work dinner like this.
Really enjoyed your guest appearance on the Whiskey Tribe video today.
This looks really good. I have another lentil curry recipe in my collection, from Diet for a Small Planet, which is a bit more complex than this one.
My husband doesn't like curry (took him 20 years to let me in on this little secret), but recently he said for me to cook whatever I want, and if he doesn't want it, he'll find something else. (He's on Ozempic, so sometimes he isn't even interested in eating things he likes. He's also a reasonably good cook in his own right, so he isn't going to starve if I make curry and he turns his nose up at it.)
I was a tree planting hippy in northwest Montana traveling from landing to landing camping in the mountains through spring and fall seasons for a few years . Lots of great stories. we all cooked for ourselves
That looks delicious and it really is easy.
I couldn't wait until you stopped talking about forestry and did the recipe. Then I couldn't wait until you stopped cooking to finish the story! More stories with cooking! I subscribed!!!
My aunt used to make curried fruit at Xmas time… my brother and I loved it… I know she used canned fruit… and it got baked in the oven… it was so good… and now I am going to text her for recipe… thank you glen!
I make that every Thanksgiving and it’s embarrassingly simple..
Please share when you get it, thanks! I had a client whose Mom made it for the holidays, and he always smelled so good lol.
My aunt made a curried fruit recipe too, also at the holidays. My sister has been working on getting it right.
Just watched your Whisky Tribe appearance. Great video!
The first time I made this, I described the flavor as “luxurious “ -those spices make it so tasty!
I just love these kind of lentil dishes. So satisfying. Thank you. ❤
Nice trip down memory lane and a delicious sounding curry. Thank you 😊
I've had red lentils, not a fan (probably texture). But I love brown and green lentils with a curry powder and various veggies. Over rice as a soup, or over wide noodles. As Glen said this can be a base to stretch your budget by using what ever you have handy.
I am definitely going to try this one, thanks Glen.
I am in love with your kitchen and cookware❤
Awesome stuff just loved the Curry Thanks
That's so fascinating! That makes me wonder if you went to Lakehead? I went to university there and remember Forestry was one of their big programs.
That's where we went
Good looking recipe and they always charge the more you use them
This looks fantastic and it’s a great jumping off point for adding in things that you like or things that you think could work ❤
I like the way he says “about”
LOVE curry!!! Yummmm 🎉
I am so making this! Thanks for sharing Glen!
Thank you sooooo much for pronouncing turmeric correctly!!!
Yes!
Great idea to add coconut milk to lentils. Definitely have to try it. Quick, easy, convenient and nutritious. Not, keto, carnivore or low carb. Better suited for a winter or fall season, but looks really tempting and delicious right now.
WOW!! Just watched you over on one of my other fave channels- Whiskey Tribe- very interesting episode, well done.
You shocked them by not having had powdered cake icing and…they call you ‘ GLIN’, so I guess you’re even! 😂😂 Fun to watch.
So nice to see your cupboard looks a bit like mine over the stove:
Great episode. Can you do more non meat recipes?
Terrible suggestion. Humans need meat to stay healthy.
@@QuintusSertorius-ph7jn This is patently false, little troll.
Thank you Glen! A recipe for Curry so I have a starting point... I can finally adjust the spices (now that I know what they all are and basic volumes for each) to achieve a flavor I enjoy. Will make things easier than spending and spending on pre-made container after pre-made container of as much.
Thank you very much!
Some Sour mango Pickle would go great with that Curry
I made these! I used garam and a brown lentil, because that's what I had, and it still turned out phenominal! Very relaxing and nutty flavor, top tier comfort food
Scrumptious ❤
Thank you for cooking something vegan/veggie and not feeling it necessary to use mushrooms / blue cheese to replace the 'meaty' flavour.
Also for pronouncing turmeric the same way I do! Looks fabulous!
It’s autumn in Australia so this will be the perfect time to cook this.
Yeah, canned coconut milk will separate like that. I don't know, but maybe you could take it to the hardware store and use the paint-mixing shaker machine on it or use an immersion blender. It's less trouble to do it the way you did.
Glen talking about his time as a forester puts me in mind of Peter and Catherine Kelly over at The Woodland Escape channel, down the road from Glen an Julie. Might make an interesting crossover, 18c cookbook meets 18c log cabin cooking.
BECAUSE! YUMMM! 😊❤
I am soooooo jealous that you got to spend time with the Whiskey Tribe crew, great collaboration, looks like you had some fun.
This looks awesome!
Thanks for sharing
This is perfect bachelor food.
Cook once eat 10x
I prefer to cook the lentils and tomatoes separately. The acid won't allow the lentils to soften.
I've just got back into making curries again,after stumbling across "NOT ANOTHER CURRY ?"with an English guy called Ric?but yours was a get in from work and make a curry recipe?which I'm going to make next week as it did look very tasty?from BIGMICK IN THE UK 🇬🇧
Ric = Backyard Chef.❤
Julie's Stamp of Approval
Great recipe! I loved it.
Amazing; when I was sixteen, my brother, one year older than me, here in north alabama, worked for Kimberley-Clarke, cutting pine for the paper mills. They let us use heavy equipment, by ourselves, no supervision, and we were both still in High School. Wild West, I guess, forty years ago.
I would love it if you would make a simple chicken curry for us.
You know it's good when Julie is not trying to sell it.... Give it a try next week.
Got a ton of lentils stored. NOW I know what to do with them. Easy, and no bean prepping first. Thanks! This episode threw me. Your shows have a predictable consistent flow. Voicing and mannerisms are so familiar to me. In this world of change, the familiar is often a home feel we tend to cling or orbit. Mixing your discussions of background and recipe made me really pay attention. Change is nice on occasion. Don't do it again. Only joking! It brings more value to the standard norm. Thanks for another episode, and a valued one at that.
I cooler it twice and it was tasty. Good story too
You should always, ALWAYS, wash your lentils. Always. 3-5 times.
BTW, that top part of the coconut milk could have been used at the beginning instead of the oil, as it's a fat.
Thanks for the great video, as always.
Funny story: I make a similar daal (Indian curried lentils, basically this) once in a great while; the way I make it is convenient because I can use a slow cooker once I get the spices and onions cooked, and if I make that and make rice in the rice cooker, it's just a filling meal which is ready whenever.
So, one time, I had this event I was attending downtown so wouldn't be home when my spouse for dinner with my spouse. So, I started the daal in the morning, set the rice cooker, even put out a bowl and serving spoons, and headed on my way.
My spouse - who was notable for having a MUCH greater spice tolerance than I - complained later that it was far too hot. I was confused; I had tried it and it was fine.
After much questioning, I learned they didn't know what daal was, and in spite of the rice cooker with cooked basmati rice next to the slow cooker, had not realized the daal was to be served with rice. So of course it was too spicy! But, lesson for me to communicate how these things are meant to be eaten.
6:33 And that's how Glen invented coconut mozzarella :D
There is an Indian dish called kitchari where you cook the lentils & rice together. It's believed to be the dish from which kedgeree was derived. It's good.
lol I said out loud when you mentioned how thick the coconut milk was ' there's liquid at the bottom' yeah doesn't matter how much you shake it you will still get liquid at the bottom. I always chuck the contents in a bowl and mix it before I put it in the curry hahahah
the dance!
The story about forestry makes me glad to be studying economics and working as tax administrator at the Swedish Tax Agency during the summer. Don't get me wrong, I love being outside in nature, but I like when it's on my own terms.
Cool. Hope to see more rice recipes. Thx
I made this exact dish last week except I had some leftover pork roast I needed to get rid of, so the vegan part went straight out the window...😆
With Rice you have to pay attention to how old it is to determine how much water it needs to cook properly. New Crop rice (The Freshest) requires less water, The older it gets it needs more to get the same consistency. so if you want it more moist add more water. People who don't make rice often don't know. and they aren't aware that rice does get old and dries out.
As soon as I read "university days", I said to myself "hippie food".
2 tablespoons of ground almond would take it to next level ;)
If I think about it in time, I put the can of coconut milk in some hot tap water for a few minutes. It really helps.
more lentil recipes! trying to cut back on meat ($) and would love some great alternatives
Great recipe! What would be a good substitute for the coconut milk?
A lot of curries are finished with a drizzle of heavy cream, if you don't mind adding dairy. Or it could be mixed in at the end.
Grind up some cashews in water to add creaminess?
I do find that red onions tend to go from great to burnt so much faster than the sweet brown onions I normally cook with. Difference, moisture content, starting color?
'In the Bush' I thought that 'bush' was an Aussie/British term. I see Canadians also use British terms like Aussies do (well we are in Commonwealth countries after all)
We have Keen's curry powder in our house - it's a staple and has been around for many years.
Did I see store bought maple syrup?
Those are pretty standard 'generic' jugs and cans that I use to give away syrup. There's a spot where the producer puts their sticker and name.
Glen and Julie (and friends), what enneagram triad types would you consider both of you or each other have?
Ras Al Hanut. Didn't he fight Batman?😁
Do I see Welsh cakes behind you?
Yes - that was last weeks recipe.
As a Sri Lankan, I approve of this dish. Usually I get so annoyed with the way westerners make dhal.
Daal?
Yep. Homemade daal, which I have had from a friend from Nepal, is incredible.
Indian Dal
I like coconut meat but not the milk so much. This thick one might be more my style.
“Not a fan of coconut milk”. Pretty sure I recognize the brand you’re using, coconut milk in name only, what with all the guar gum, polysorbate, carboxymethylcellulose, sulphites… Try Aroy-D, slightly pricier for fewer ingredients, just 60% coconut solids plus water.
Most curry powders already have turmeric in them as it's not really got any flavour but it adds that yellow colour to it. so no real need for the addition of turmeric. Not good for you if you have gall stones by the way
!ALGORITHM!
I’m sorry. That sharp lid on the open can just standing all dangerous there while your wrist just keeps waiting but it is so distracting that I had to restart, close my eyes so I could hear the very interesting story of you being with the forestry. Please use the no sharp edge opener, or leave the lid closed til your ready. Thank you. Sorry. ❤
Can u come to the point please
So I'm thinking 30 years ago they didn't do vegan, but then I remember Moosewood COokbooks were one I aways used and loved. Was that really 30 years ago.???
