Hi, my father in law is Sri Lankan and he made me lentils and they were delicious. I made yours and wow they were equally just as delicious. Thank you, happy new year.
Hi, thank you for trying out the recipe. glad you liked it, I'm sure your father in law's dhal curry tastes much better. you are most welcome and happy new year to you too!
Thanks shekar, I should try adding fenugreek next time but since there's a mustard tempering, figured the mustard taste would completely overpower the fenugreek taste hence the omission. I do add pandan leaves as it is readily availabe in my garden and you are correct love the distinct yet subtle flavors of the pandan. Some find it difficult to find pandan leaf where they live so didn't want to give them a reason not to make the recipe because they couldn't find certain ingredients. Will definitely add the suggestion on the written recipe on the blog though. Thank you so much for your feedback, much appreciated.
Beautiful explanation. T.Y.. 😋😊 yummy yummy and so good for stabilizing blood sugar, getting much protein, iron and fibre plus it's a very inexpensive way to eat very healthfully.
Your video appers to have way more than 1/2 cup of water. I had to use 1.5 cups of water to get it to cook properly but otherwise it came out very well.
Hi Madshak, The reason I have reduced the amount of water is because we will be cooking the dhal again with coconut milk. this would bring the dhal to the correct consistency. Also, some like a little bite to the dhal curry as well, hence the reduced amount of water. Thank you for trying out the recipe and glad it came out well for you. regards, J
Hi Scap, I've lived in middle east too and they definitely have coconut milk, both in liquid and powder form. but if you can't find it, you can cook without it, only the dhal curry will be very thin and waterish. here are two options alternatives. 1/add 2-3 tablespoons of regular fresh milk to thicken the dhal. I do this sometimes when I don't have coconut milk in the house. 2/ cooking cream? if this is available. hope this info is helpful. regards J

Amazing recipe Sis. I would add half a teaspoon of Fenugreek (Uluhaal) and a small piece of Pandan leaves ( Rampe) to take it to the next level...

I'm living in middle East... very hard to find out coconut milk? what if i cook without it?
Hi Scap, I've lived in middle east too and they definitely have coconut milk, both in liquid and powder form. but if you can't find it, you can cook without it, only the dhal curry will be very thin and waterish. here are two options alternatives.

Do I need to soak the dhal before cooking?
Hi Bee A.
No, these red lentils don"t need to be soaked at all, they turn soft very quickly.
@@islandsmile4902 thank you! Will try this!
