The Best Comfort Food Ever? - Dal Tadka

[@Ashish.YouTube.]

This is the closest any foreigner can get to being an Indian. Choice of red onion portrays your perfection. The dish is 100.0000% authentic. Love from India!

[@Yaqoot]

The only thing I would say is that tadka is not just a "garnish", it's a method of tempering fat with spices and then poured into a dish to distribute those flavours everywhere. Having dal with and without tadka is night and day so it's essential!

[@Ashish.YouTube.]

@@Yaqoot True.

[@nithinv5990]

I would say Figueras Onion is more Indian than Red Onion which is completely absent in India.

[@abhinavram7920]

@@nithinv5990 Isn't Figueras onion a type of red onion in itself? Like red onion being a broader term?

[@Yaqoot]

@@nithinv5990 completely absent in India? This is not true, red onions are found all over North India, I can't speak for south but I'm pretty sure I've seen Kerala recipes using red onions. Plus I'm pretty sure figueres onions are a variety of red onion anyway

Hey Chef, Just a tip: Always wash your lentils well, till the water runs clear. Soaking the lentils for an hour, works wonders to help em cook faster! Also, let your cooker depressurise naturally. I love watching your videos. Love, from India!

[@veridico84]

Also, very important, don't add salt to lentil water.

soaking is Obvious but very important for any variety of lentil beans rice chickpeas and also most of the nuts

[@gregoriodia]

@@tattvamasee Not really for split lentils.

[@tattvamasee]

@@gregoriodia sorry but politely i want to say that we Indians have been eating Lentils since centuries as a staple..i eat atleast 1 time toor dal daily in many forms :) .. lentils contain some antinutrients and some amounts of lectins ,phytic acid, oxalates which are reduced when you soak them .. Also in our traditional medicine system its said if you dont soak lentils it will increase PITTA (Body heat not temperature but as a nature ) and usually with increased body pitta problems related to uric acid will be there .. Split or non split doesnt matter they are just processed

When making naan, brush a little water on one side and place that side down on the pan. This helps it stick and prevents it from falling off when you flip the pan. This method works most of the time. Love your sense of humor and authentic food recipes! Keep up the great work!

Hey..I know u r a pro but a tip to make naan stick to pan is to give a touch of water to the base of naan before starting cooking. Love ur videos ❤

[@mckidney1]

Pressure cooker is great, for those that do not have it, get the tallest pot and fill it less than 1/3. That way bubbles will create a decent seal before it overflows. Allows for 96-105C. Another option is to cook legumes ahead of time in an oven using 1/2 filled thick jars (120C). Do not go open the oven until it cools off below 90C - shrapnel can fly out as it cools. This is why canned beans are called baked beans :)

Instant pot is the best and safe alternative of pressure cook

[@mckidney1]

@@spiritofmax Certainly and also the most affordable as the only place it costs more resources is the size. Today you can get a multi-cooker with pressure, yogurt, steam and even frying for the price of a cheap pressure cooker. EDIT: Legumes are amazing, but due to lectin we got used to soggy beans, with a pressure cooker you can get the texture without the gastric distress. That is why getting at least 105C is important.

Thanks, growing up in the States I only ever knew of red and brown lentils and there was no Indian food (still really isn't much where I am, LOTS of Thai restaurants but no Indian). With the last few years being, well, the last few years, the local Costco had a ton of different bags of vacuum packed Dal, more types of lentils and split peas then I'd ever imagined. I think they just got them because they were having problems getting the normal beans and rice we are used to. So now I have a bunch of different types of Dal and I'm trying to find recipes for it. I'll give this one a try, everything of yours I've tried has been great.

[@anabhidnya26]

I am from Maharashtra, a state located in western part of India, our cuisine is mostly unknown to the west, we have a very diverse cuisine and it changes from region to region across the state. Here we make this daal in a very simple way without any tadka but just add some green chillies and a dollop of ghee on top, it's the staple here. we make spicy version of daal with homemade black masala called as "goda masala" and use kokam fruit to add sourness and cococunt and jaggery are also added. I hope Andy explores maharashtrian delicacies as it's largely unexplored.

[@padders1068]

Andy! Yes Chef! Looks amazing! Not criticisms just a a couple of tips: For whole cloves crush the round end with your fingers add to the dish and discard the hard stalky bit. For home cooks for cooking Naans - if you're lucky enough to have an electric fan oven with a grill that you can turn on at the same time, set them both as hot as they will go, put a cast iron pan or cast iron griddle plate in there to pre heat to as hot as as it'll go. Then drop your Naan onto the cast iron, with the grill and the oven on, then you get heat from top and bottom! Warning be bloody careful not to burn yourself as the cast iron etc will be ridiculously hot! Peace and ❤ to you and all the team!

[@andy_cooks]

Thanks for the tip!

[@tapp3r109]

"For whole cloves crush the round end with your fingers add to the dish and discard the hard stalky bit." Just curious, why? I've never seen an Indian do this. There's tons of flavour in the stalk. Simply remove at the end or tell everyone not to eat them.

[@padders1068]

@@tapp3r109 Just a tip I've picked up from some random KZbin channel/cook book, I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It's just a short cut to save time, as the best way is is to get the pestle and mortar out and crush the whole cloves (stalk and all) into a coarse powder consistency. I suppose it depends on the amount of time you have and the kitchen utensils to do it. I hope that helps? 🙂

[@normalchannel2185]

Plus there's really no need to have a naan, since you can have 'rotis' too, which are infinitely easier to make. Make the dal slightly more wet and you have a curry you can use to flavour rice too, and you have the staple food of most north indians

[@normalchannel2185]

This is extremely authentic Indian food i can promise. I am from India and a self taught chef. Been learning from restaurant chefs, dhaba chefs and friends and relatives. This is as authentic as any good Indian chef. One extra tip i would give to some of the watchers is, while cooking large amount of dhaal in pressure cooker in its full capacity, the water from daal sometimes sprays out through nozzle. To prevent this or minimise this, add a spoon full of ghee along with water into the daal.

Hi Just a few imp points to add in when making a dal/lentil... 1. Wash and keep it soaked for atleast an hour . 2. While boiling dal take out the white froth on the top of the boiling water (it gives uric acid so necessary to remove the white froth)

It also called Payasam, and is also served to devotees in Hindu temples. Malpua is also quite ancient, but you would find it quite hard to find outside India. It is basically a deep fried pancake, dipped in sugar syrup. Khichdi (or Khichri) was prevalent in India even in the Alexandrian era; a simple stew/porridge of rice and lentils. It is still perhaps one of the most common meals in India, unofficially called the National Dish. You may find loads of other ancient Indian dishes online, these were just the ones I know.

Great video as always. A suggestion, just as some people have pointed washing till it runs clear and soaking the dal for 30 minutes to 1 hour, changes the profile dramatically. Discarding the soaked water is also useful as it removes lectins. Thus preventing bloating or gas in some people. Lastly please add salt after pressure cooking the dal, it helps in even cooking. Agreed some people don’t soak and pressure cook for few minutes more, but this way it’s much more healthier and friendly to the gut.
