This is the second dal recipe that I’ve ever made and I am obsessed. The flavor is so rich I like to eat this with sourdough bread or with naan. Although I am American-born with parents of Mexican descent, I love Indian culture and I am discovering it and experiencing it through food, one recipe at a time. The first one I made was Palak Dal (moong dal + spinach) I tried this in a Whole Foods hot bar in San Francisco last month and I was instantly hooked. That is what started my current dal obsession. Anyways, Thank you so much for this recipe.

[@CookwithNabeela]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you liked my recipe. I've got loads of other lentil recipes, feel free to check them out 😊

[@Aditiyan]

It's nice to see a Mexican-American trying out Indo-Pakistani dishes. But having dal with soda bread is sacrilegious. It would be like one of us making chapati tortillas. So the next time you cook dal, please try eating it with naan, parathas or chapatis. Thanks.

[@private4735]

I cooked this first time the other day and it was the best dhaal I ever had in my life. Thanks for the recipe, it was easy, quick & so tasty, I can't wait to make it again!!

[@CookwithNabeela]

Most welcome 😊

[@fatimaazeem2893]

wonderful recipe! i made daal for the first time ever and it is great! i didn't have any corriander or green chillies, so I just added a little bit of corriander powder, overall this recipe is quick, easy to follow and delicious! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I haven't had daal in months and I've been longing for it so much!

[@CookwithNabeela]

Glad you liked it! 😍

[@najibah_a6189]

so freaking easy and so freaking delicious!! if anyone’s not sure if whether or not they should make this i would say got with the latter 😉 i added salt based on my liking a little more than what was in the recipe and it turned out great!!
i also tried this exact recipe but instead of daal put potatoes and cabbage to make aloo gobi … IT TURNED OUT AMAZING!!

[@fawazsalih7153]

I enjoyed the video but didn't understand what you did to the lentils . Is it soaked in water before or boiled to make it soft or is it added directly from packet?

[@helnyson4694]

Good question!
Is usually recommended to soak lentils for at least 20 minutes; apparently eases gas in the intestine, otherwise you'll be "letting off" ages/days afterwards.
Looked as if lentils were wet when they were entering the pan, so am assuming they were soaked properly prior to cooking. Is how i do mine.

[@farhanahkhan03]

Either soaked or washed and drained the lentils first.
