[@RainbowPlantLife]

I'm so happy you enjoyed my red lentil curry (and think my videos are cute aww ☺)! And hope you'll get to try it with the serrano peppers and almond butter when your grocery store is better stocked. Thank you for sharing, Candice!

[@eatingwithselina8482]

You are awesome! Your Vegan instant pot cookbook is amazing Nisha🤣

[@mistytillema2398]

This is my favorite recipe!

[@EdgyVeg]

Girl- that curry was EVERYTHING. 💕💕

[@joannegraves8346]

love, love, love your curry recipe.

[@gwynpeters6029]

This curry is a holy grail and I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the recipe! It’s so delicious I always double the recipe so I can have extra for my family. I can never find serrano peppers sadly my grocery stores never have them, but it still tastes incredible (:

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Aww thanks for the review! Just saw this pop up on my subscriptions and recognised my face haha! This recipe was for sure from my no oil days when I thought oil was the devil 😅 Highly recommend cooking it with oil instead as I do this now whenever I make it. You’re right it carries the flavour and spices better. I also love to cook it with coconut milk instead of tomato (which I also have a recipe for). Good reminder to actually change my recipe on my website to have oil for the start of the recipe! 🥰

[@mariemaier5630]

I love your channel and you have so many more amazing recipes.

[@aromaofhope]

Madeleine Olivia, I actually have this recipe of yours copied off in my one vegan cookbook, lol. I like it! Don't feel bad. How could you compete with coconut cream?

[@Lizs_Favs]

I wish she tagged all the creators!!

[@mariatico8874]

I honestly cannot believe what they are saying about this recipe! I've tried A LOT of your recipes and even the ones that had no oil in it, are extremely delicious!!!!! I am absolutely in love with your cooking

[@davidthescottishvegan]

@@mariatico8874 They committed blasphemy with their comments on Madeleine Olivia's recipe.

[@j1shin]

No surprise here. RainbowPlantLife's version is just the bomb. Made it a thousand times already and you have to add the almond butter as she suggests! It's sooo good.

[@theoccasionalvideo]

I make that all the time!

[@eeveeta]

Me too, last time I made a whole kilo of lentils and froze it, still it lasted less than 2 weeks.

[@imanandk]

Nisha, of Rainbow Plant Life, has the very best recipes - esp this one! I've made it several times and adore it. Thank you for featuring one of her best recipes!!!

[@angeliconda123]

Rainbow Plant Life is one of my favorites. She is so sweet and has amazing recipes.

[@Keijiko]

Three different falafel recipes or three different banana bread recipes!

[@hannahf5745]

Falafel would be great!

[@eugenelleb8594]

Yesss please ! that would be lovely

[@Crystal_m11]

I absolutely love rainbow plant life!!! I've actually adapted most of her recipes to make it oil free! She is amazing and flavors don't disappoint!

[@PooPooBanana2]

Me too! I omit all oil and if the recipe calls for coconut milk, I just use some of that instead of oil and it totally works. Amazing flavour.

[@Alina_Schmidt]

I guess the fat from the coconut milk and the almond butter carry the flavors then

[@michellegardner1210]

I absolutely love Nisha’s red lentil curry! It’s a weekday favorite for my family ❤️. I’m so glad you liked it!!

[@juliecox647]

We just had Rainbow Plant Life’s version for dinner tonight! So good! It makes it into our recipe rotation almost weekly!

[@rosanneingoglia7759]

I made the Rainbow Plant Life recipe a few days ago with cashew cream instead of coconut milk since I don’t cook with oil. It was really delicious. If you don’ t cook with oil you can add ground cashews to add healthy fat to give that extra richness too. Thanks for doing the taste test.

[@jcg03002]

Rainbow plant life is so good, I love her recipes. Her thanksgiving recipes this year included this salted chocolate tart and salad with sumac marinated shallots that were amazing. I’d love if you tried lentil - stuffed squash recipes because she has one and many other vegan you tubers do, but I always wonder how good they are.

[@lizdevries2463]

Love her too! The Salted chocolate tart was a hit for our New Years Eve dessert :)

[@SamElle]

lentil curry is soooo good especially when it's cold out. I find it to be such a great comfort food and I like having it for dinner!!!

[@j1shin]

Signed, finally someone agreeing with me that it tastes so much butter when it's cold out!

[@izzleinatizzle]

I would love to see a hummus showdown!! As for other youtubers to include I am thinking frommybowl and Rachel Ama!

[@cherylbown5192]

I’m actually addicted to Nisha’s red lentil curry! It’s something I make about once a week or every other week. Always get cravings for it! And my partner is always requesting it! I do tend to stick in a bit of extra garlic powder though 😍

[@turinhorse]

I try Happy Pear recipes all the time.. gotta say, they are outstanding.

[@helenmyers5161]

I love their recipes, too!

[@clarissaazure6235]

I agree!

[@veganwildfire7522]

Same! If the reason they didn't like it was because it needed more salt, they could have added more...it says to add salt and pepper to taste...to each is own but I personally LOVE The Happy Pear's recipe ♥️🤘

[@LNG0210]

Yeah it annoyed my because the Happy Pear boys make the point in each video to say to taste test several times as you go along and season to taste using all 5 tastes! If she had of done this she wouldn't of said it needed salt after it's all already cooked 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@EdgyVeg]

I followed the recipes exactly as written . Some recipes simply aren’t as clear as others and that’s why this concept is fun

[@cly8635]

omg you gotta try Nisha's recipe with some serrano peppers, it's absolutely on another level!

[@magali.bazzano]

Such a neat idea for videos! I've done the Rainbow Plant Life curry twice and I do enjoy it.

[@EdgyVeg]

It's so good!

[@VeganRichaRecipes]

I think this might not be the right comparison. Two of the recipes are dals and the other is a curry. Dals, if sticking to the traditional recipe (esp red lentil dals) are soupy and not creamy. They don’t have coconut milk or nut butter or a thick creamy element. So the 2 dal recipes are supposed to be how they turned out and not creamy. The oil will definitely help the flavor come through more. The third is a curry so a better comparison would be other curry recipes

[@neilishah]

I’ve made the lentil recipe from rainbow plant life a few times. It’s absolutely delicious! All her recipes are great. The almond butter is a must as it adds the nuttiness without overpowering the taste.

[@jenszerdy]

I also adore Rainbow Plant Life's red lentil curry! I have some stashed in my freezer right now for whenever I crave it. And now I am craving it @ 8:30 in the morning after this vid......... gotta go.......... luvin these recipe reviews. Keep up the great work!

[@kathleenbutler9967]

Love these comparisons...quite frankly they are very helpful! Thx for all you do!

[@danecaldwell9470]

I love Rainbow Plant Life videos and recipes. Love the review of multiple recipes.

[@EdgyVeg]

Glad you like them!

[@MsIffyk]

I just made Nisha's red lentil curry for the first time last night. My husband and I were blown away at how delicious and simple this is!

[@PrettierAfter50]

Can’t beat Nisha’s recipes! She’s the best!

[@ApRiL3706]

I love Rainbow Plant Life’s Curry as well. My husband doesn’t eat the healthiest and I have been trying to learn healthy recipes without meat. He loved the red lentil curry and so did my parents and brother. I made it with serranos peppers the first time and the second time with jalapeños. It actually tastes better with serrano.

[@EdgyVeg]

thanks for the tip!

[@maskinmoller]

Great comparison! Definitely need some oil and browning to get right the depth of flavour. Nisha is the Queen of flavours 👑😍

[@mariemaier5630]

I would like to see different pancake recipes

[@tessagraywood3091]

I second this!!!

[@jenjen3041]

I always made Madeleine's Dal because I am not a fan of coconut in a Dal but since you said hers was a bit bland, I decided to make Rainbow Plant Life's version and I'm sold! It's so delicious and the coconut is not overpowering at all!

[@chelseajupiter2103]

Unsurprising that the one with fat tastes best.

[@BenjaminBerryHoops]

I love Nisha's recipe!! Flavorwise, I'd sooner swap tahini for the almond butter rather than peanut butter - provides richness without the distinct peanutty flavor.

[@jacb4866]

Omg - I'm so glad I just found your channel. I love that you try different veg recipes - as someone new to the veg life, it's soooo helpful 👍👍👍

[@EdgyVeg]

Thanks!

[@francessweeney1]

Vegan kimchi please by Maangchi, Cheap lazy vegan and either Seongkyoung Longest or Mary's test kitchen for the 3rd one! I do a mix of the first two when I make it but haven't tried the last 2, I'd be really interested to see the difference as all the girls in the video's are of Asian ethnicity!! I know you need to leave it a few days to ferment but you could make and film one day and taste and film another day when it's ready!! I really love these recipe taste tasting video's, it's a fabulous idea xxx

[@ThePotThickens]

Oh boy. I love all kinds of dals and curries. My first video was of a Chana dal and I have a Chana Masala curry video coming soon. I often cook red lentil dals too but haven't had a chance to film it yet. I also have a video on red lentil flatbread planned. The peanut butter addition is interesting. In the summer I make a beet curry from the garden and the sauce is Indian curry spices but with peanut butter and coconut milk. Those both match with beets really really well!

[@Dogsnark]

I’ve made the Rainbow Plant recipe and really liked it. More recently, I made the recipe from Yeung Man Cooking and liked it just a bit better. It was thicker and used water instead of broth. He instructs us to grind our spices from whole seed and I think that bumped up the flavor. This is probably the recipe I’ll go back to in the future.

[@eduardoo31]

Dude, I am literally chopping onions and garlic to make a red lentil curry hahahaha

[@Mossfoots]

literally just finished eating rainbow plant lifes red lentil curry, the simulation is breaking

[@flow4458]

@@Mossfoots 😂

[@msmintygreen]

I’ve made the rainbow plantlife one multiple times. It’s sooo good!!!

[@hollyk.3317]

HUGE fan of rainbow plant life! No serrano? I used jalapeno which i feel the fresh chili really adds so much flavor. I have made this and absolutely delicious. I actually use less almond butter or even leave out. So yummy! Super easy in the instant pot as well.

[@theoccasionalvideo]

You can also buy roasted almonds and grind them in a coffee grinder. That's what I use, as almond butter is $10 - $12 per jar here.

[@clarissaazure6235]

I want to try the Rainbow Plant Life Curry with zucchini! I just love a hearty curry.

First of all, Candice...your hair is EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥

[@cayennepeppa707]

My wife is vegetarian, but I'm not and we've had conversations like this many times. Yeah, it's all about pumping as much flavor into the meals as possible. Fats do that extremely well. Salt always brings a pop to food. Yummy!

Rainbow Plant Life’s recipe Looks waayyy better!

[@alyssa5853]

Definitely try Nisha’s with Serrano peppers if you can! And instead of subbing peanut butter, sun butter is nice and subtle. Also, I always add frozen kale for extra veggies and texture!

Only started the video now, but it has to be RainbowPlantLife as that red lentil curry is the most amazing curry I've ever had, and a family favorite I make at least once a week.

[@Snacksandbackpacks]

This is my favorite series ever!! Please do banana bread! Or brownie!

[@arlener.3349]

Not necessarily a recipe...but I think it’ll be super cool to do a video where you eat everything that Amanda Ducks eats in a day. She’s really known for those specifically. Just a thought :) really enjoy watching you both ❤️

[@user-bv7mk8id5t]

Try the one Mark Bittman learn to make with his guest cook, they made dal tarka. No milk or coconut milk or peanut butter. It was creamy on its own, it did require oil though. But it is different from these red lentil stews that you tested out here.

[@brigav8975]

Hi! I'm just loving your content!! And you're a doll😍 You should get off to an Indian grocer to pick up Kashmiri red chili powder. It's not just bc it has an awesome flavour and comes in levels of heat, but the red colour of any curry comes from this kind of chili powder... Go get some 🤘🤩👍

any recommendations for best curry powder? There are so many formulations, would appreciate thoughts. How about comparing meat loaf, or burgers, or best nacho cheese sauces, ie: cashew based vs potato based vs bean based.

[@PoeticPeer]

Tbh Indian food in India doesn't have anything we would call "curry powder"...their basic spices are cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder. They do use spice blends for certain things (like chickpea curry) and you can get those at Indian food stores or online...they are called masala spice blends. I do personally really like the McCormick curry powder if you enjoy that flavor!
