This is one of my favorite dishes to make. I always make some variety of it a couple times a month. It’s so flavorful and delicious loaded with vegetables like roasted cauliflower or sweet potatoes and i often add a can of coconut milk to it. I’ve never tried it with tomatoes; I have to try that. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! Easy to follow. I’m planning on cooking more vegan meals but I’m lacking iron. What’s a good vegan dish full of protein/iron?

[taniaallan]

I’ve never had Dal but it looks good so I want to try it. Would you eat alone or with rice?

I am told you are not to add salt because it hardens the lentils. Should wait until they finish cooking.

Can you substitute curry powder for garam masala?

[biendereviere]

Isn’t Ghee made from butter so it’s an animal fat which doesn’t makes this vegan :) but it still looks amazing and so easy to put together ❤

[princesssnaz]

Which brand of curry powder to be used

[ilovekurby]

Thank you for the recipe. No offense but you are wasting too much water when you are washing the lentil.
