My mom is a notorious lentil hater but I've cooked several of the meal plan lentil recipes for her and literally just last night she said "I've always hated lentils because I thought they tasted like dirt but lately they've tasted good." You converted her! I'll have to try some of these next!

The lentil bolognese is OUTRAGEOUS. I've made it at least 30 times from your cookbook. The wine and whole tube of tomato paste technique is next level.

Ma’am we need to talk come here …………… I just made the bolognese with the wine and really cook in layers as you described in your recipe. Let me tell you, I’m so proud of myself and this sauce taste so good. Idk if because of the caramelizing of the onion, paste and wine but it was just perfect amount of sweet. Now I’m still cooking currently, I like how thick your was so I’m going to keep cooking but thank you. Thank you for sharing and I will be drilling around to help with having some good meal prep

I am so glad that channels like this also exists in the internet!❤

[LarisaLis-jhbq]

you are a blessing to this planet and all of us vegetarian/vegans : ) I love your videos and will always be checking for more recipes. I hope you do this

You always remind me that I need to get off my duff and make more of an effort to vary my plant-based diet. I have no excuses either, as I live in Toronto, and have access to a wide range of ingredients. Curry leaves (which I love) are available at the Sri Lankan grocer near me, as is every type of spice. I really recommend the porcini powder you suggested -- it adds so much flavour. I grind my own from the large bag of dried porcini I buy from an Italian-food shop here in Toronto. I love all the dishes you prepare!

I love Indian food. The spices are so good. The onions, garlic and ginger add so much good flavor to the food. Indian food is the best!!!

Until yesterday when I watched this video, recipes for Lentil Bolognese never really sounded good to me. I'm so glad I gave yours a try! This dish is a new obsession with my family. It seems decadent but is incredibly healthy. Thanks so much for sharing your creative gifts with your viewers.

Nisha, you can cook the dal in the instant pot for 8 mins rather than stove cooking for 30 mins. Plus you dont need to stir or baby sit it. More time and effort efficient!

I love lentils. They are satisfying and make one feel so good inside.

[getrealnow]

I appreciate that you mention that the first recipe is "forgiving" I have a nut allergy and find that seeds often substitute well

[dorianrecord]

I have just recently discovered the wholesome and hearty magic of lentils and I can’t WAIT for these recipes!! Thank you Nisha for always reading my mind and showing us the best and most creative yet nutritious recipes!! 🌱❤

[MoveWithNicole]

All these recipes look delicious! I can't wait to try all of them! 😍

[Melissa.Garrett]

Thank you, Nisha, you’ve inspired me to try new recipes again! I used to love experimenting, but recently life has been so stressful that I’ve been falling back on the same tried-and-true recipes in constant rotation. Now I want to get cooking again. 😄

I've been making this bolognese recipe for 4 years now, I dont drink alcohol so I never put any wine in, and it is PHENOMENAL! My dad doesn't really like alternative vegan stuff but he loved this so much and said that if I made it everynight he'd eat it instead of his usual meat stuff. So that's big in itself ahaha. But to me, it really does taste meaty, it's the perfect meat bolognese alternative that's so much healthier because you also get all that fiber. Thank you nisha for this! ❤️❤️🫂

Dal was ALWAYS my favourite food growing up with a Sikh mum, now my mum has sadly passed but I often make a red lentil Dal it's comfort food at its finest. Plus my 5 year old loves it too ❤

[aka.radstatic]

So far I’ve made each of these recipes this week and I’m astounded! I’m completely hooked on the lentil snack. It almost feels like a cheat code to add it on to another delicious dish. Thanks so much

I saw this video pop up but my Saturday mornings are so busy...finally after mowing grass I sat outside and watched this video loving life...I'm so excited to try these plus happy to say I purchased your book Nisha!

People say "but what do you eat?" and "how do you get your protein? 😄

Mung, chana, masoor, urad, toor, brown, french...some lentils I regularly enjoy!

Thank you for more great recipe ideas. And kudos on your outstanding videography. Those clear close-ups of the food are great!

[gypsygirl]

the red lentil Bolognese is a complete meal, absolutely yummy, crunchy from the walnuts, has protein, fiber, satisfying, don't feel guilty eating this pasta..
