I want to go to India so bad and just sit around the ladies in the kitchen and learn. You do such a beautiful job at illustrating your culture it has built a desire in me to travel. And I don't like airplanes but I'm willing

[artistlovepeace]

I just ordered a pressure cooker like yours. I've checked out your books and I love your lessons. You are my most favorite auntie teaching me healthy and delicious meals. Thank you so much.

This is soul food! Thank you for reminding me of the simple beauty of minimalist dishes. Whole green moong (a legume), split moong dal skin on, yellow split moong dal skin off - all these variations of the moong legume are the most alkaline and easiest to digest amongst the legume and dal family.
This recipe calls for the whole green moong which is the legume form and NOT the ‘moong dal.’

Finally, a recipe for me to try cooking the seeds themselves. Previously, I have only sprouted the seed to get bean sprouts to use in other Asian cuisines. Moong dal = mung bean. Thanks!

[andreadahan]

Thank you so much! Really enjoyed making this with you! It tasted delicious!!! 🩵

[elizabethe]

Thank you!! I’ve had to go gluten and dairy free and your lentil recipes have been HUGE for me. Thank you!!!!

[poornimakrishnan]

This dal is the best and easiest dal I ever made. The jaggery and lemon juice made it. So simple, elegant and verrry delicious❤

[kaybrown]

Getting your new book! And some green moong dal. 😋

[karenconnolly]

Thankyou Chetna I just love your channel and these simple recipes ❤️

[JC-gmzs]

Looks great, and so simple to cook.
I had never heard of asafoetida or jaggery, so I googled both. It was interesting to read about them on Wikipedia. Two new ingredients to add to my cupboard.

Hi Chetna! I can’t wait to try this Dal.

Also - do you have a recipe for Mogo? I would love to see your take on it!!.

[sheelathackorbhaga]

W had that for supper today. We have it at least once a week. Its good for diabetics. ❤

That's nice, we in eastern India do somewhat similar and add scrambled eggs to it at the end for egg tadka.

Love your presentation in your videos! I do have to say that the primary reason to soak lentils is to reduce the lectin content and such in them. That plus slow cooking on a pot does the trick. It really wasn't an optional thing for our ancestors. Pressure cooker is ok, it was invented to help working women initially but better to avoid using it as far as possible if you have the time.

[TheMughes]

Hi, can you please explain the pressure cooker method a little more? Is it 10 mins after you put the pan on the heat, or 10 mins once it starts whistling? I recently bought a pressure cooker very similar to yours but am nervous about using it

[dollyailawadhi]

We temper it with onions, tamatoes ginger

[Meme-dpgn]

Can I ask where do you buy those Indian style pressure cookers ?

[sylviapage]

Looks delicious. Do you have any recipes that use pearl barley. I’m sure I checked your books and channel and didn’t see any. There are some recipes online that I’ve tried but I like your recipes best 😁.

[rayradiance]

Seems like you were bothered by that soaking question lol. Most people don’t pay attention. I soak my lentils because it increases the absorption of vitamins and minerals and also it makes it easier to digest.
