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]

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.

Either soaked or washed and drained the lentils first.

No, not at all. Just cover and cook on medium heat and make sure to mix every so often, so it doesn't stick to the pan. If your dal is still hard then add a little more water and cook. 🙂

[@Nat12726]

Mine took more than 1 hour to soften
Even though i soaked it overnight

[@gavinlynas2833]

Did you use a lid to cook? It drastically speeds up the cooking time.
The salt can make the lentils resistant to soaking up water as they cook. Try adding salt near the end if it still doesn't work.
Also, maybe you didn't cook the lentils long enough BEFORE adding the water.
Red lentils usually are very quick to cook though. You actually have to watch very carefully to make sure to take it off before it turns completely into mush. It happens very fast.
