Another yummy recipe! Made it today for lunch. Was pleased that it didn’t take too long. Look forward to making it again when I have coconut to try that bit. Thanks again!
I've made lots of different dal recipes, and I always loved chana. But this recipe is surprisingly completely fresh and new to me. I'll make it, also you have such a calming way of speaking. Lovely !

Chana Dal is perfect for this rainy, cool weather. I love the taste and texture of this legume. Terrific looking recipe with the golden raisins and coconut instead of tomato.
thank you for always teaching us the knowledge and not just the recipe . We appreciate all that you share , I am learning your cuisine more and more just through this channel . I never really have coconut pieces on hand so I will probably just use coconut milk and I could use coconut oil , these I usually do have , but besides this , it looks really good and I will try this one out so thank you! I think it is funny with the sugar haters , God gave us sugar for a purpose , for me I will likely use honey , but I am not afraid of some sugar or salt ever .
I am glad you find my videos useful. Please do not use coconut milk. Just leave out the coconut, it will still be delicious. My mom never added coconut as I hated them as a child but this dal is my most favorite from childhood.
Made this for tea, it was delicious, my wife loved it too she is from the east coast of Canada and salt and pepper are about the extent of the spice palette here. This was an excellent recipe for me to introduce her to Indian cuisine. Thank you
Ahh Bumbi it looks like Sunshine in a bowl, my tummy is happy 😊 I’ve been too ill lately to cook but look forward to trying this recipe thank you 🙏 from Worthing in the UK
Hi Bumbi 👋Wow this is an amazing recipe. I love that it has the golden raisins and coconut in it 😋 Most regular supermarkets here sell a very good selection of Indian groceries. Indian food is just so very popular here. But I still have to go to the Indian grocery stores to get some things that I need. I mostly get deliveries. I have had an extremely stressful week and have barely done any cooking. I am now unable to cook things that require the use of a stove top, temporarily. I have been trying to catch up with things. I am now trying to relax in my pyjamas, drinking herbal tea while watching your wonderful relaxing video 🙏Always a pleasure to watch. Hope you have a lovely weekend my dear friend 💕
Thank you so much for explaining the difference between split yellow peas and chana dal. I’ve never known the difference, and I’m happy now. I love both equally actually but it’s good to know what you’re buying and how each of the pulses is cooked. As ever, another wonderful recipe - thank you so much. ❤
Oh Bumbi, this looks delicious and my mouth is watering!! I don't have a pressure cooker; is there any way around using one? Thank you for posting this...another food from heaven.🥰
You can cook it in a regular pot. Soak the chana dal in water overnight. Next day discard the water and proceed as shown in video. Allow the dal to come to a boil, then cook it on a slow flame. You may need to add more water if you see the water is drying up and your dal is not yet tender. It will take about an hour and a half or more depending to the quality of your dal. They should get soft but not to the point that they get mushy as you saw in the video
Hi Bumbi 👋Hope you've been having a nice day. I made this today. (Recipe 153) It was absolutely superb . We really loved it. The golden raisins and the fried coconut go so very well with it. Every mouthful was delightful. We had paratha, salad and onion bhajis with it. We are still without gas. It has been a month now. I am waiting for the meter to be tested. My energy supplier contacted the company that tests the meter with the details of it. But we are still waiting for an appointment 😴🕰 I am getting used to using the electric hot plate. I actually really like it now. I have been using that and my instant pot. I feel like I am camping lol 😂 Thankfully my main ovens are electric. I also have a tabletop oven but the hot plate on it trips the electric out. I am constantly boiling electric kettles for hot water. Thank you for another delicious healthy meal. Hope you have a great weekend my dear friend 💕
Hi Emily, must be so hard for you with days of no gas connection but I am greatly honored that despite all the hardships you are facing, you are still trying my recipes. I really appreciate all your love for this channel. Thanks my dear Emily ♥️
If you have a pressure cooker please use it or else you can cook it in a regular pot. Soak the chana dal in water overnight. Next day discard the water and proceed as shown in video. Allow the dal to come to a boil, then cook it on a slow flame. You may need to add more water if you see the water is drying up and your dal is not yet tender. It will take about an hour and a half or more depending to the quality of your dal. They should get soft but not to the point that they get mushy as you saw in the video
I love the Bengali take on this dish. I mean, I love the common chana dal made with garlic, onions and tomatoes, but I love the slightly sweeter approach you take with raisins and coconut. I just bought a big bag of chana dal and far too many dried bay leaves. My son comes home tomorrow from a semester abroad, and he loves Indian food. I really miss him, and since I’m one of those people who show their love by cooking good food, I think it is perfect timing. Thanks Bumbi! Yeah, so the bay leaves. I accidentally ordered 8 ounces of dried bay leaves. It came in this huge tub! I have no idea what to do with so many of them. Anyone have ideas?
If you keep the bay leaves in an airtight container it will keep good for ages. Also put some in the containers you store lentils/rice/sugar/beans as it repels insects. Enjoy with your son. Even I am one of those who express love through cooking good food 😀
Well, at least I know that in an emergency I can make this chana dal recipe! I was able to find an organic chana dal that was vacuum sealed, double wrapped, and is a 7 lbs bag from a food bank a couple of months ago and I've been saving it ever since for emergencies! I'll see if I can find a smaller bag though of it so that I can make this recipe. But glad I know what to do with it now! I actually got it in the first place with trying your recipes in mind, though lately I've been eating more meat (no more pescatarian/vegetarian -- I was losing certain minerals and vitamins and getting health issues) so I've been eating less of the beans and legumes lately but still have a lot of regular chickpeas, lentils, and pinto beans. I need to get the gram dal though so I can try this, but just a small bag.
When you add 2 teaspoonfuls of sugar for 6 to 7 servings, it's just like an extra spice or flavour intensifier. It's not going to do much damage to anybody's health.
This looks great. But I can't find frozen coconut in any store locally - but one supermarket regularly has small packs of fresh chunks: I'll get some and give it a go!
Hi Bumbi, when cooking in the instant pot for 15m, is it also on a low setting? I've been told the pressure is different from that of a stove top pressure cooker.
Regular stove top will probably take 2 to 3 hours at a lid covered consistent low heat to achieve the soft consistency that you want. Try soaking the dahl overnight with a teaspoon of oil to reduce the cooking time.
You can definitely make it in regular pot. As stated by my other viewer, soak it overnight. Add more water if you see it drying up and cook till the dal gets soft but not mushy. The cooking time will be more.
@@CurriesWithBumbi Thank you Bumbi. I made it & my husband loves it! I’m sure you are as upset about the news from Kolkata. I expected that type of behavior in the rest of the country but NEVER in our Kolkata. In an excellent & rare show of support, Mohun Bagan & East Bengal football clubs joined to protest the murder of the doctor. Sorry to bring up bad news. All the very best to you Bumbi.
May I know where you get frozen coconut pieces from? My Indian store sells only frozen grated coconut. Am also wondering if copra would work instead of fresh coconut in this recipe?
Hi, I bought it from Patel Brothers. It is Deep company frozen coconut slices. You can also use grated copra or lightly fry grated coconut in oil before adding the dal and simmer the dal along with that grated coconut
I actually saw the hing at a grocery the other day. I saw it and was like, "isn't this asofetida?" and looked at the back and it was! It was mixed with something else, idk what, but its pricey so I didn't buy it. Maybe I'll budget it into my groceries for next month though to finally try it!
@sonerali3047 what’s troubling you, the addition of sugar or is it because it is a Bengali recipe? If it is sugar then as I always say sugar is OPTIONAL.
couldn't help notice the absence of garlic and onions in this recipe... is there any particular reason for that? just curious as most indian recipes i come across include them almost by default! i'm getting fairly confident at cooking curries from scratch and combining spices in wholesome ways so i'd love to learn the ins and outs of when and when not to include them and the reasons why :)
This recipe does not call for onions and garlic. You will be able to get the maximum flavor of chana dal cooking like this. Onions and garlic sometimes overpower the flavors. The subtle flavor of lentils gets masked using onions and garlic. Sometimes onions and garlic are also not added in Indian cuisine if following a strict religious vegetarian diet but in this case it is not for that reason. Personally I like lentils without onions and garlic.
@@CurriesWithBumbi yes , you have used oil at least 3 times for this recipe of Dal. However it’s my view if others are okay to consume the oil shown in the food, I should not complain. Anyway , if you can come up with low fat version recipe, it would be great.
@theexposer9483 I have used a total of 2 tablespoons of fat for this recipe. This recipe serves 6 to 7 people !!!! Number of times added doesn’t relate to the quantity used. You can still use a small proportion and distribute it throughout the recipe. Please check out the description box for more details regarding the proportions used
I love your recipes and am a big fan, but do not have the time, patience or interest in wading through the video whilst cooking. This is a principle I'm sure many would agree applies. The tablet screen keeps dropping out, or video delivery is either too slow or fast, or cooking with food stained hands and touch screens never mix and so on. In order to cook your delicious recipes, I need a printable or downloadable printable recipe so it can be followed at my pace without reliance on digital technology or listening to your pace or videos. Is that something you would be willing to do for us, your fans?
I don't like the use of fried coconut pieces and sugar in any dal ,especialy my favourite dal ,chhole di dal in Punjabi way ,with a tadka of caremelised half onion ,ginger ,a small tomato and jeera in ghee ....topped with tsp of garam masala and coriander .
Another yummy recipe! Made it today for lunch. Was pleased that it didn’t take too long. Look forward to making it again when I have coconut to try that bit. Thanks again!
This is the quickest feedback I ever got on my channel when somebody tried my recipe just within a few hours of uploading it. Thanks so much 🙏🏾
You are welcome. Just luck that this video popped into my feed this morning and, without a plan for lunch…

I don't understand why people have a problem with sugar. It's not like you're adding cupfuls. I finally found an Indian grocery store. I'm so happy.
I am so happy that you found an Indian grocery store.
It because in many Indian states they don't add sugar in dal recipe in only two Indian states sugar is added in dal(Bengal & gujrat).
@GauravKharb-nq2en sugar is not added to all dal recipes in Bengal. This is one recipe where sugar is included.
Because it's super bad for you. Each to their own. Anyone know where the tarka pan is from? it has a real useful handle!
That pan! Yoh
This is more than a cooking channel. It’s therapy ❤
