My favourite dal - Creamy BLACK DAL and no cream in sight!

[@praveenranjanlal3839]

First time viewer here, and i subscribed 30 seconds in the video, because i love your authentic personality and your accent which sounds truly unapologetically Indian. (I'm fed up of fake accents). Also I love all types of Dal.

Thanks and welcome to the channel

[@Morgannin]

I love how this video shows up an hour after I made black dal for myself, except I made it completely differently and ate it with rice, so it's nice to learn when I've done everything wrong.

[@FahadAyaz]

No such as wrong! If you enjoyed it, it was right :) Lots of alternative recipes exist but none more right than any other

[@aquarang23]

Thank you for another great recipe and video! ❤ Also, do you remember where you got that serving bowl? It’s gorgeous!

[@paulakeay4317]

It’s from Waitrose I think 😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

this was from waitrose a while ago

[@mandeepsheera6272]

Going to try this one soon Chetna 😊

[@jalilahalias3457]

Yeah!!!...look so creamy 😢😂❤👍👌😍🇲🇾

[@FoodwithChetna]

so delicious

[@1234j]

Curled up with lemsip and a cold, watching this. Looks wonderful! Will try it very soon. Thank you.

[@smitapatel3251]

Looks yummy!

[@FoodwithChetna]

so good

[@alizaali7110]

Amazing 🤩

[@FoodwithChetna]

😍😍

[@judithrowe8065]

Another recipe to try- it looks delicious. If anyone has children who fuss about bay leaves or whole spices in their meal, treat it as a treasure hunt, and reward the finder with a shiny coin.They will soon be clamouring for extra spice. Bribery is a good thing.

[@FoodwithChetna]

thats brilliant

[@rajkumark1793]

Super tasty👌👌 I like💫

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks

[@davidquirk8097]

That looks great! Unrelated question, Chetna, what sort of Tamarind should I buy for use in my kitchen? In the past I've used Tamicon Tamarind concentrate but I think this may not be the best way to introdcue the flavour and colour that Tamarind should give. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks

[@kaybrown4010]

Black dal is my favorite, especially with smoky black cardamom. Thank you for this lovely recipe, Chetna! ❤

[@florencejoanjones5233]

Hi chetna I love your videos ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@FoodwithChetna]

😍😍😍

[@wajt8966]

Looks delish- now where’s my packet of Urad dal? 😃

[@FoodwithChetna]

yeah

[@kathijaalli783]

Looks delish, btw, is this like Dhall Makhni?

[@FoodwithChetna]

yes its the same dal that is used in both

[@philnotley5138]

How about a dhal recipe for slow cooker chetna not traditional but would be really good

[@bfranklin1052]

This cozy dish looks gorgeous! What pans are you using with the hex design on the bottom? Are they new? I haven't seen you say anything about them?

[@OSheaDean]

🖤 Love black dal. Is whole urad dal the same as the dal the bouji grocer sells me as black caviar lentils?

[@FoodwithChetna]

no!

[@2009dhani]

What’s the Hindi word for adding the hot oil and spices? We in Trinidad call it “ chunkay.

[@gaiaiulia]

1st to the comments! Settling down to watch.

[@debbiemeyer4504]

Oh, yeah. Just got a bag of urad dhal and was wondering how to cook it up. Great timing. Thank you!

[@noreenidris858]

I really love that dahl reminds me of my mum thankyou x

[@cdevida]

Looks amazing Chetna! Would love to try, but what could I use instead of tomato? I don't do well with tomato, thanks☺️

[@bhauliyamoss1866]

Is this the same as beluga lentils?

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

No, beluga lentils are a variety of lentils, scientific name Lens culinarus. Urad dal Is a different species, Vigna mungo. It is a sister species to mung beans, which are the species Vigna radiata.

[@bhauliyamoss1866]

Thanks so much for you explanation, I'll try and find these

[@FoodwithChetna]

this is not similar to that! its very different

[@bhauliyamoss1866]

Except they are both black😂I'll try and find them, I love black beluga, I'm sure I'll love these too

[@garethdwatkins]

How similar is the black dal, to the green lentils we get in France??? I can't get the black, only white, red or green... would your recipe work with green French lentils.. ?

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

I cook and eat both French green lentils ( a variety of Lens culinarius) and urad dal (Vigna mungo). To me, the innate flavor of each of these legumes is quite different. I love them both. But I have never tried spicing them the exact same way. Why not experiment and cook a small amount of French green lentils using Chetna's spice combo and see if you like it.

[@pamelasuccaw7214]

But, but, what did you have for breakfast?

[@shalinicross4438]

I love black dal and so does my family. I will make it tomorrow for sure. Will make your super soft yummy nans to go with it i am thinking......... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (thinking face)
