Making wedding style dhal with brinjal - so good, you can drink it from a cup!

[@SuperPetra101]

Mummy definitely has golden hands. Everything she does is with so much love and devotion. The proof is in her food. Pranesh you are so lucky to have mum cooking for you everyday. Can you maybe show us a grocery haul or what mummy buys to stock up your pantry for the winter months.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

That would make for a good video. We will see if we can do it and work around all the brands

Enjoyed your recipe Ma. I must try this recipe. I always use braising spice but yours is better. Love your shows.

Thank you so much, let us know how you go.

[@chotaconhyedoss2657]

Hello Sweet Mama! your Dhal cooking method is exactly as ours we also do many variations depending on season in Mauritius sometime taro leaves is added or moringa stick.Any traditional Indian meal is incomplete with that hot steaming ladle of dal. All dhals are one of the prime sources of protein for vegetarians heaped with the rich nutrient profile.It is super rich in protein, folate, zinc calcium and dietary fibre. Dhal is that quintessential home food that provides comfort to every person after a long tiring day.Enjoy!

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

You are so right. Yes we also add the moringa stick (drumstick) which makes it a bit sour. But it is very tasty. Dhal is very good for you and also delicious!

[@ashikaramlakhan9902]

Hello ma. Hope you're well. Thank you for the recipe. When I braise what I call flavoured dhall, I use cinnamon sticks and bay leaves and add a little ground breyani mix to onions. I love this dhall. Take care.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Sounds great! A true biryani style dhal!

[@Bubs-Rads]

Good morning Aunty Missing my South African food Mouth watering.

Namaste bheni. I just cooked dhall 2day. I braised with sour herbs. Next week I will cook dhall n add brinjol. Yummy 😋😍

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

Great 👍 We make with sour herbs in a video earlier this year. We had the last few brinjals from the garden so we decided to use them.

[@indiranaicker8394]

We are vegetarian love this anytime my late mum cooked dhall like you

Namaste Aunty ji, I’m such a huge fan of yours I wait for you to post videos, my moms blind so your cooking reminds me of hers which I miss so much, I wish to meet you someday when you down in Durban. Sending you warm hugs and love from home Durban. P.s I’m Le Crueset crazy so it’s just the perfect cherry on the top.

Oh wow, your story is so great to hear. Hugs to you and mom as well. We don’t often come to Durban unfortunately, hopefully we can make a plan soon

Thank you 😊

[@vroodamakhan1895]

Thanks again for an awesome recipe. I’ve never made dhal with brinjal but I’m definitely going to make it your style. I love pea dhal. I want to make green pea dhal. Do I prepare it in the same way as the yellow? I’ve just discovered pea dhal in the tin but I definitely prefer the one boiled by myself. Pranesh I’m sure you enjoyed the scrumptious meal that mom prepared. Love ❤️ from EL

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We have not cooked the green pea dhal but I think it will be very similar. I don't think it will need to be boiled like we do with the yellow pea dhal, maybe just soaked and then cooked as the green dhal is softer. But we will also check for some recipes and come back to you.

[@jacintadsouza5566]

What type of dhal? Great recipe thank you. ❤

[@marlenebornman1841]

How do I freeze dhania

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

You have to wash the dhania thoroughly and then let the water dry. You can then separate the leaves from the stems or cut it, depending on how you prefer to use it. And then freeze in a air tight container or ziplock bag. But the most important thing is to make sure that all the water used to wash the dhania is dry

[@Sixfigureswithnerissa]

How many people will this serve

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

It will serve 8-10 depending on how much each person has. We serve this with biryani or other curries so it really depends on preference.
