This is one of my FAVOURITE Chetna recipes (and I’ve made a good amount) and definitely in my top recipe list overall! Thank you Chetna 😊 My family also loved it and kept going back for seconds/thirds. The garlic flavour is just so deep and complex and addictive (10 cloves plus 3 more at the end! It’s for the garlic people!!) It’s also very creamy but no cream, just from the beans pressure cooking and then slow cooking (but I started eating it before the full slow cooking time and it was still good). I made it with black beans (ural dal/mapte) just because they are cheaper/easier to find than black lentils and I think it’s very similar. It’s a bit like dal makhani (creamy black lentils) but lighter and simpler to make. Still can’t believe there’s so much flavour with so few spies, just garam masala, chili powder, cumin. (Side note, I also love Chetna’s dal makhani recipe also on KZbin and have made it lots of times!) This is also similar to Mexican refried beans - with lime and other ingredients, it definitely can be part of a burrito bowl. We ate it with rice, tortillas, and avocados, but the simplest and maybe best way is to add water and having it as a stew/soup. I feel like keeping it in the fridge makes the flavour even better too.

Oh YEASSS!! Black lentils and Garam Masala are two of my faves!! I know what I will be cooking this weekend. I love slow cooked dishes… simmering away on the back of the stove. This, to me, is warm winter deliciousness!! AND garlic, cumin, and coriander… 👩‍🍳💋. This is a great video and an awesome recipe Chetna!! Thanks for sharing your skill and charm. Much appreciated 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary🇨🇦

you are welcome Mary

I adore this dal! The black lentils become silky after a long simmer. It’s definitely worth the wait.

[@sallyd7551]

What about pressure cooking?

[@FoodwithChetna]

yes you can use the pressure cooker for initial cooking

[@boordbelsj]

Making this now. But without the butter. It smells allready delicious its my first time using garam masala. And allready love the smell :) hopefully i dont miss the creamynrss bitter can provode.. need to find a vegan way for that but life is a journey. Thanks for this recipe👍😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

My pleasure 😊

[@heersyal2454]

Agreed, the longer cooking time does make the dhal creamier. I always make big batches of dhal, because it freezes really well, and tastes fresh when you defrost and top with fresh green coriander (even leave the tarka until serving each time). Great for those days when you know you won't have time to cook and need spicy food, or simply don't want to cook!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Exactly

[@katiehass4666]

That looks amazing. I think I will make it this weekend. 😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@prairiehorse6168]

Whole urad is my favorite daal! I love it daal makhni but it's nice to have something light like your recipe...seems so easy with no hassle of chopping onions and tomatoes.

[@FoodwithChetna]

yes

Can't wait to try this one. I have never had black lentils ate they easy to find? I also think this is a recipe made for my slow cooker. Thank you.

[@shannyali7758]

Hiya Chetna that looks amazing 😍😋😁 we don't have any black lentils at home, we only have red lentils, yellow lentils, mung daal, chana daal at home, we will have to buy black lentils and we only use can of red kidney beans at home would that be okay to use the can ones? I want to try that it's making my mouth so watery lol 😂😍😋🥰❤️ thank you so much for sharing this amazing lovely recipe 😁😍😋☺️

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes you can use canned red kidney beans but will need the black lentils for THIS particular recipe.

[@shannyali7758]

@@FoodwithChetna that's fine Chetna black lentils we can buy them from the grocery store, thank you ☺️

[@nujjy95]

Great recipe 🙌🏽 I will try this definitely 😋

[@koda3967]

This looks sooooo simple! I love it! (Well, I'll let you know if I 'love it' after I've made it, but the simplicity makes it a dish to try!) I suppose using rinsed, tinned beans would just save the pre-soak time? Wondering if cooking it in the oven would save the worry of stirring every 30 minutes? Guess I'll find out - it's a lazy kind of day today! 😁 *#FoodWithChetna** **#Vegan** **#IndianCooking*

[@FoodwithChetna]

the tin beans is ok but does not taste the same

[@newera7993]

Chetna is beautiful

[@ankitasaini5882]

You are incredible, many thanks Chetna! God bless:)

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks Ankita

[@lilabohan9815]

Chetna - this recipe looks amazing. I do have a question. When initially cooking the lentils and kidney beans are you using pressure cooker or just in pot?

[@kh23797]

@Lynda Blair ... Just in the pot here ​- that water level is way above that suitable for pressure cooking. The long cooking time is also way over what the beans would need in an Instant Pot, even if your skipped long-soaking them (when it would be around half an hour). Mind you, this recipe would surely lend itself to an Instant Pot adaptation!

[@Migz3Tarot]

amazing cant wait to try this !

Hello Chetna, this recipe is Fabulous, I love lentils and preparing it this way is sumptuous!!! Tell me, is this recipe from one of your books? I bought the last 3 but I haven't seen it! I made Indian mango chutney, it's amazingly good! Thank you for this recipe, which will please everyone here... A big hello from France 🤩

Thank you so much Chetna, I'm looking forward to cooking this dish, then I'll give you feedback 🙏

[@FoodwithChetna]

sure

[@jamesmansion2572]

I'm sure this will be really nice - its not a million miles away from Dal Makhani and I think that's super. Mind you, that recipe was also fiddly with the dal and kidney beans soaked overnight, but then cooked in a pressure cooker.

[@mariacooper7491]

Im glad i found you're channel

[@FoodwithChetna]

welcome

[@14gilbertst]

Just a thought. I think the beans cook much faster without the salt. 1/2 hour to 40 minutes....if they're soaked, even faster (especially the lentils.) You can add the salt later! Give it a try. (I mean in the pressure cooker. Slow cook later yes!)

[@awesometv6464]

Wonder if I can cook this in slow cooker?

[@andrewelliott1939]

Looks great. Were your kidney beans dried or from a tin? Would it change the recipe?

[@eleenagrant-jones8118]

Looks absolutely beautiful and thank you for wearing a microscope. Makes a huge difference hearing you clearly ❤️

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes! Thank you!

[@jonathanbarclay3710]

Hi Chetna, Love the show really helpful. I have cooked your Black Lentil / Red kidney daal, I've frozen it but how should I re-heat it? what temp in the oven and for how long? Presume add a little water? Tight fitting lid on a casserole dish? to stop it drying out?

[@k91pl]

Another great video! I’ve struggled to find black lentils in the UK supermarkets, even visited an Indian shop but they only had brown lentils. Hopefully that will still be ok.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Not the same but do cook it

[@alanbralan9670]

Hi i dont know if you still wanna cook this but black lentils are often labeled as urad/urid daal. hope this helps

[@daniel6678]

Would it be possible to make this in a slow cooker? It would be nice to feel more comfortable setting it to cook and then leaving for a while without worrying that I’ve left the stove on

[@FoodwithChetna]

yes you can

[@chaitrart1441]

Hi Chetna, the dish looks delicious! But is enough time to soak red kidney beans for just 1 and 1/2 hours? I thought I need to soak it overnight the day before. And have you pressure cooked it? Thanks for sharing your recipe!

[@FoodwithChetna]

you can soak overnight but I soak in hot water so that much time is enough

[@Deepika1001]

Where is your pan from? I can’t wait to make this x

[@FoodwithChetna]

[@RobinOm27]

I've had this at restaurants and know it tastes great.. but, I doubt it retains the degree of nutritional value as compared to cooking it 1-2 hours (versus 4-hours) and also cooking only until beans and lentils are almost tender, then mashing some of that to achieve a creamy texture.

[@paulwomack5866]

Some vitamins are broken down by cooking (even by the 1-2 hours you propose), but most other nutrients will be fine, even after 4.

[@FoodwithChetna]

it might or might not but I dont cook everything for its nutritional value!

[@paulwomack5866]

With the initial soaking and cooking in your pressure cooker, did you actually seal the lid down and use it as a pressure cooker, or were you just using it "open" as a handy saucepan?

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes I used it as a pressure cooker

[@mickmiller4959]

Hi Chetna….for me it is not clear, is the initial cooking of the beans and dal done on the hob or in the pressure cooker ?

[@FoodwithChetna]

you can use either, pan takes a bit longer than the pressure cooker

[@asifzameer9874]

no in a pan, pressure cooker takes less time, around 30 minutes
