Love the recipes and you two are inspirational. The little clips in between I could do without though. You don't need it :)

[upendasana]

Two of my favourite doctors :) what a treat

The inner chef in me made me add onions and garlic to the rice recipe. Still very easy and delicious. Thank you.

I’m not sold on that recipe in the oven. I’ll try it, but I can almost guarantee that the the rice and or lentils will be undercooked. Everything should be soaked beforehand… and probably cooked for longer than 30mins. The premise behind the dish is great though..

Doctor Rupy and doctor Rangan Congratulations and don't ever stop.

[feanorianmaglor]

I've just bought both your books, before seeing this video, think I'm going to enjoy using them.

[giuliapacovich]

You two are awesome!!
I need to try those two recipes 😍

I was excited to try this rice recipe, and just did. My experience from following the instructions: the wild rice was very much undercooked, to the point of being still "crunchy." And the dish overall also came out with a very soupy consistency, which was not what I envisioned. The flavors are good, but using wild rice and the stated recipe's time (25 min + 10 min cool/rest) and temperature (210C, (410F)), the rice is unquestionably undercooked. Just be aware if you're going to try this, you maybe need to lengthen the amount of cooking time by at least 5 or 10 minutes?

Guess what's my dinner for tomorrow haha! Thank you both for sharing this with us. Massive fan ☺️

[woody]

Hi Dr Rupy. Im looking gorward to trying this recipe. Thank you. How big a dish do you recommend i need, to contain all the ingredients, please?

[empresslioness]

Well look at these two beautiful men in 1 room 💚😍💙

[Lightdancer]

Love these recipes and chats!! Rice and lentils was our go to care several times a week from the 70s on! I bake in an air fryer now - this is a great twist! These days I tend to cook rice with the lentils for the first bit, then add quinoa and root veggies half way through!
I'm also a big fan of sardines and other small bony fish!

Hi Dr. What's up?
I'm a dentist.. 47 year's old.. I recently suffered from a spasm in the buttock muscle. It was like the symptoms of sciatica... But the rays showed it was just cramping... I have also suffered for more than 5 years from disturbing neck pains... The doctor advised me at the time to wear the neck collar for 3 months and advised me on several things to avoid during work... But when I started having lower back pain. but when he checked the blood pressure, he found it high..
I then checked with a specialist... I did a full thyroid test..blood.. Liver.. Kidneys.. sugar..they were all normal.
Please Dr. your kind opinion.
thank you so much.

What pan is that I need something that big that’s oven safe everyone I’ve tried comes out with burnt edges drives me crackers
Even my Tefal one did it. Ugh

Great recipe

[madcitywendy]

Lol! It’s good to laugh as we pursue serious healthy diets. Plan to try both recipes. Cheers from WI, USA

[donnamonteyne]

Both of you are doing such amazing work - thank you! I had a great laugh at the interspersed clips. Pro tip - keep your knob of ginger in the freezer - it makes it so much easier to grate.

[dianechambers]

That meal looks delicious..I have 3 of your books but can't find the recipe for the amounts 😊

[khadijaabdellah]

Bonjour du Maroc
Merci de sous titrer vos vidéos en français ou en arabe.🙏

[sarahphillips]

Maybe too precise but roughly what amount of rice and lentils did you use for 500ml of water. Haven't cooked rice in the oven before like this, sounds great!

[kingbureamhh]

Hi please can you put your smoothie recpie down x
