I am an experienced cook but still enjoy watching how other people make different dishes . You explained the whole process well and even a beginner would get great results from this !

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@suza12121]

I’m

[@uzmaeledroos]

Ditto

[@oldguy8078]

Tried it. I boiled the dhaal for 45 minutes, gave it extra time in the masala and it still came up hard. I think I will soak it overnight the next time. Thought you overdid it on the red spices, but didn't realise how mild the Kashmiri red chilli was, taste was good. I could never cook this so respect to you for showing me! Thanks.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Thank you so much for your comment. Sometimes different brands take a little longer to cook than others but soaking overnight will help reduce cooking time.

[@cookmaster3626]

I make the same in an Instapot cooker. Saves time, Energy and continuous monitoring. I fry the masala paste as shown, in the instapot in simmer mode -medium setting. and then add the chana dal pre soaked (1 hour) and cook under high pressure for 6-7 mins. Let the pressure release on its own. Top it up with Celantro. Ever since the Instapot came in the market it has saved so much time, Energy and no need for constant watch on the progress.

[@vijaygangone5074]

one suggestion ....after ading the dall dont add water..if you want to add for more quantity then use the same water in which dall was boiled for 35-45 min...will be more tasty

[@IAzizIAziz]

Your recipes are great. With this particular recipe, I’d add achari masalas like fennel seeds and nigella seeds to the masala but it’s a personal preference because I like my daals and chanas having a hint of achari taste. Thanks for this wonderful yet simple recipe.

[@anjnag6965]

Very nice, i love Chana Daal. Yes the only thing I’ll change is, I’ll add from the same water which cook the chana daal while boiling.

[@ashrafsubhan8891]

Looks superb.sure tastes good also. I add two spoon of Fresh Greek style Yoghurt and use the Chana daal boiled water. Do not waste the water .

[@uzmaeledroos]

My husband and I are going to cook channa daal this afternoon. We soaked the channa at 9 am, so will start cooking at 1 pm. ❤

Uvařila jsem podle tveho receptu a musim říct že si všicni pochutnali, moc děkuji ❤

[@mafxarr8776]

I made this last week and it was awesome. Made a big batch and ate it for several days with other side dishes. Sometimes with rice and sometimes with parata. I personally found it just a little bit salty for my taste as we're used to using less salt in my home. Will just adjust it a bit next time. Thank you for the many easy and comprehensive recipes. I lived in Multan for 6yrs and one of the best things there was the food ❤ Salam from Maldives

[@sandyinmids]

Made this today but used green lentils. Obviously they didnt need long to cook as soaked over night. Only thing different i did was add butter at the end. Tastes just fab.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Great to hear this as enjoyed.

[@chaudhrikhan4975]

I agree with vijay use the same water in which you boiled or cooked the daal. All the goodness of the daal is in that water.

[@dollyg4910]

This is hands down THEE BEST daal recipe. It tastes amazing and I HIGHLY recommend everyone to try it. THANK YOU SOO MUCH for sharing the recipe Shamsa. So quick and easy to make yet so delicious. I made it today and I just can’t get over it! xx

[@timberline1487]

Great tutorial. I can't wait to try this one.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Have fun!

[@banjrsolo]

This looks so good I can (almost) smell it. Why do you drain the cooked chana before adding it to the masala pot? Nutrients -and a bit of flavor-are lost by draining.. I'm thinking the same consistency can be gotten by cooking the combined dal and masala a little longer and/or perhaps adding a bit less water during the masala bhun process. (My computer spell checker won't let me type "bhuning" it keeps chaining it to "shunning". I hope this doesn't happen when I post this question. I mean B H U N! Thanks for this and so many other excellent recipes.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Thanks for your comment. I guess there's no harm in using the water the chana daal has been boiled in, I guess I've just seen my mum discard that hence why I did it.

[@abdaljabbarhusayn610]

[@denisemottley22705]

Looking forward to your recipe of this daal. I love daal. Have you ever tried pease pudding? You can buy it in small cans. It contains the same lentils but less ingredients. You may have heard the nursery rhyme, pease pudding hot, pease pudding cold, pease pudding in the pot, nine days old. Anyway this was a staple food in the early 20th century and I remember before refrigeration etc. that the pease pudding would be made and each day mum would add another ingredient such as carrot, the day after cabbage, then potatoes, swede etc. We would add dumplings and herbs. As it is around the world an excellent source of protein. As for the rhyme I don't think we went 9 days but certainly 4 or 5. So the pease just thickened the water in the end. Thank you for the recipe.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

I loved reading this Denise! 😊 no i haven't tried pease pudding nor have I heard the nursery rhyme im afraid.

Why throw away the nutritious water it boiled in .. ?….then have to add simple cold water in it?.. my mother used to say always put boiling water in it .. even to stop the masalas from burning.. temp. of the dish needs to remain same at all times.. so never put cold water in to hot food
