When cooking any pulses, I always add the salt at the end of cooking as it tends to make the lentils hard. Same with dried bean, add the salt at the end of cooking. I am a chef and other chefs cook pulses this way. This is a very easy way to make lentil curry. You can use the whole green or brown lentils too

I just have to say i just roughly followed this recipe and it was absolutely delicious. Probably the best curry I have ever made!

I finally made this today and it was delicious! My picky husband had 3 bowls of it. I added fresh tomatoes and cucumber and I spiced up my Greek yogurt by adding a little pickled jalapeño juice, white vinegar, lemon juice, garlic salt, salt, and Sriracha and mixed well. Yum!

Made this today & lemme tell you 3 things. 1. Subscribed. 2. I didn’t have coriander but this dish still SMACKS. 3. Don’t ignore the lemon! It’s honestly great even without it, but the lemon juice elevates the whole dish. Great recipe!

Mine turned out good. My picky wife and daughter cleaned their plates! It’s good with naan as well as basmati. 😊
