[@patrikviera2007]

Nice recipe! I do want to point out though that since you didn't add any kidney beans, this dish is more of a Daal Bukhara. Daal Makhani usually has approx. 4 parts black lentils and 1 part red kidney beans (can be altered based on preference, but lentils always more in quantity than the beans). Also, try adding crushed dried fenugreek leaves as a garnish if you can find it. Adds a slight hint of bitterness that goes really well with the velvety texture of the daal.

[@mariedavis3888]

Thank you! I already have ured, & hing. I also have red chili oil made with gochugaru & chipotle

[@gwmcklintock]

Not only do your recipes look delicious, but your channel also calms my high level of daily aggravation down tenfold, and I appreciate that..

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Wow, so happy you are here and cooking together 🤗

[@colleenkennealy3505]

Don't be discouraged about finding black lentils at an Indian grocery. Yeung Man's market didn't have them, but they are quite common in Indian markets. Ask for "Urad Dal" if they don't recognize the term Beluga lentils or black lentils. The price will probably be better there, too. 🙂

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Great tip 🙌🏻

[@catsario7512]

Love my orange and red lentils!!

[@tanjorebhuvaneswari3429]

Urad dhal is not black lentils the lentils he has used is lens shaped circular. Urad dhal is a bean variety and has a totally different consistency. It can be used in this recipe but it is not lentil.

[@jeemutbbahanroy]

@@tanjorebhuvaneswari3429 - Urad dal is the opened polished version of "Kaali Dal" (Black lentils) . Kaali Dal is basically the whole unpolished bean of the urad dal.

[@1ACL]

Urad is a small black colored bean. Black beluga lentils are lentils. They are 2 different things entirely, but both delicious!

[@deenlkr]

One tip that will elevate the flavours.. I don't see non indians doing this but it's must in Indian households. Heat the oil don't smoke just heat.. then add the tempering.. first goes mustard.. add one or two and check if they pop immidietly if not then wait the oil to heat up.. then add the mustard.. once popping slows down then goes cumin.. should pop or splutter immidietly. Then add onions or other stuff.. the temperature of oil is very important. Also the powder spices go in this order Coriander powder then cumin powder then turmeric lastly chilli powder.. this is because of the roasting time required for each spice is different. Try.. hope it helps.. lovely recipe 👍

[@user-dr6rt1ji3l]

Thank you! Good info.

[@GauravThakur-f3r]

No one adds mustard seeds in dal makhni

[@lalamadison7227]

@@YEUNGMANCOOKING Thank you so much!

[@SekhonSatinder]

Good attempt Mr. Yeung. I appreciate that you put a disclaimer in the beginning that this is not the only way of cooking dal makhani. This scrumptious dish originated in the state of Panjab(India and Pakistan) and is a typical Panjab cuisine which other parts of India try to appropriate. There are few important steps which were missing from you recipe which is that the lentil has to be boiled along with some kidney beans in plain water for at least 2-3 hours, because only after this its creaminess comes out. The “makhani” in dal makhani literally mean butter and one cannot simply substitute butter with coconut cream, coconut cream cannot create the magic of butter. Also using coconut milk is more of a south indian and east asia thing.

[@nkiru61]

Thanks for this tip! I am currently preparing this dish and decided to add a can of kidney beans. Next time I will boil the lentils and kidney beans together.

[@denise2169]

[@phyllisain]

I loved this but the coconut cream makes it VERY rich. I had never before tried recipes calling for garam masala and just the scent of this spice is so inviting! I used fresh turmeric because I grow it and by the time the powdered spice arrives at Costco, to me it tastes like … sawdust? My husband loved this- like me, we hail from New York many years ago…and grew up with Northern European/Italian/ Scandinavian food and these spices are so new to us. Wonderful w the coconut cream

[@KimOpperman]

Looking forward to trying this. I have purchased bags and bags of each color of lentils and managed to collect all the necessary spices. Herbs in the herb garden. Purchase the ginger and I’m ready to go.

For those avoiding fat in their diet, fig leaves taste like coconut! I make fig-leaf-tea and then blend cashews to make it creamy. This faux coconut cream works for me! (I've got 2 fig trees and dry the leaves to keep for for winter curry.)

[@viviana8577]

Fig leaves are poisonous

[@bonniepoole1095]

@@viviana8577 Hi! The latex in fig leaves can be very irritating to the skin. However, Fig LEAF is SAFE for most people when taken by mouth for up to one month. However, in high doses, fig LATEX, the sap from the tree, might cause bleeding in the digestive tract in some people. Applying fig leaf to the skin is POSSIBLY UNSAFE. It can cause skin to become extra sensitive to the sun. The fig tree's leaves are packed with vitamins. They are a good source of vitamins B1, B2, and A. And they also contain phosphorus, manganese, potassium, sodium, iron, and calcium. What's your source that says it's poison?
