Red Lentil Dahl - SUPERTASTY Lentil Recipe! Healthy Indian Food

[@salinamartin8711]

I am so happy to find you two! I had weight loss surgery in 1996 and it went well for 20 years than it all went haywire. I am now disabled from it. Basically my digestive system rejects almost everything I eat. Meat is the worst so in the last year I have been transitioning to beans, lentils ect and it is so hard to find easy, tasty meals. Thank you so much for the easy recipes I have so far found here. It really is life or death for me to find food that is high protein and nutritional. I have to have more calories so I will fry in ghee or butter and eat rice but making this tonight. I love this recipe.

[@wendyp8488]

A tip from my mother: Red lentils should be soaked overnight or minimum 20 minutes and then rinsed before cooking. The scientific reason behind this is to remove the oligosaccharides and phytic acids, making them less likely to cause bloating. I love this recipe and have made it 3 x now.

[@ashl8804]

Not really. I cook it often. Just needs to be rinsed well before cooking

[@jaynekeizer6612]

just made this recipe and I love it:) please keep on making video's! right now it's your healthy recipes that are helping me in my recovery from my eating disorder. I'm finally learning to enjoy cooking and most of all eating a meal again:) thank you so much! ordered your books yesterday:) can't wait till I get them!

[@thehappypear]

That is incredible Jayne!!! We feel so honored and grateful that we are helping you in anyway and hope that we can continue with inspiring you and we are definitely going to be sharing recipes for as long as we can 💗💗💗 Big love and kisses xxx

[@jaynekeizer6612]

That's so sweet:) actually just told my therapist who's a vegetarian herself and even she got curious😊

[@coralaisly]

Best of luck in your recovery! Warm hugs and tons of support, from some random person on the internet

[@KalpeshPatel78]

Dal is staple in India. had with almost every meal. Soak the lentils in lukewarm water for half hour or so. It helps them to break up faster and improves the texture of the dal. We usually have it with roti (indian flat-bread) or steamed rice. But I can eat dal just like that anytime.

[@thehappypear]

+Kalpesh Patel Thanks so much for the tip. :D Dave was in India last year and said he had the best dahl of his life there.

[@123joelad456]

Kalpesh Patel kalpesh id love your recipe dude

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

That looks like a super healthy recipe you could make on a camping trip! You could just pre-measure the spices and lentils and bring just what you need. Thanks for the great recipe!

[@thehappypear]

Cooking Lessons for Dad Thanks so much for watching. One pot dishes are really great for camping. :D

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I will check out some of your other one pot dishes. Thanks.

[@twinkletoes800]

Fabulous recipe..i am not vegan or vegetarian but love these kind of dishes anyway..with autumn on the doorstep i will defo be making this. Thanks guys..well done.

[@thehappypear]

Such a wholesome comforting dish! 😄😋🙌

[@oxtail1000]

Keep them healthy recipes coming!

[@CORRIGEEN71]

Looks good

[@amandatouch371]

Super healty!

[@smilepurva999]

Try heating up oil in the pan first, and then adding the spices so they fry a bit. I suggest adding onions (stir for two minutes), and then add the more watery vegetables :) Awesome recipe though!! Glad to see that people across the world enjoy daal as much as we do :D

[@thehappypear]

Thanks so much for the tips, we love hearing little bits of real experience

[@gabrielpscheidt543]

I like the fact that you cook this great tasting Dahl on a classic Trangia Stove !!! Fantastic :)

[@frymark32]

You guys are great!!

[@jackass123491]

This looks so delicious! My mouth is watering!

[@thehappypear]

It's really simple to make too. Let us know if you give it a try and what you think of it.

[@jackass123491]

The Happy Pear Will do!

[@reginasatchellkelly271]

You guys really are great. Making it easy for me to pick my meals for meal prepping.

[@thehappypear]

Super to hear, Regina! 😄👍🙌

[@monkeyfishcr]

Just made this and it was amazing! I bought your two cook books when I back in Dublin last and many of the recipes have become new university staples. Big shout out to the Beetroot, feta and walnut patties btw!

[@rozchristopherson648]

Can’t wait to try this dish!

[@kingbuream218hh8]

hi guys making this today for my family of 6 kids and hubby we need a belly hug it's freezing in the uk hopefully this will warm us up love you guys you rock our world xxx

[@Jay-cob-po4tc]

I made a couple modification to this wonderful recipe yesterday and it was absolutely delicious! I love ground coriander but didn't have any in hand so I just didn't add it to my Dahl. Instead I added ground paprika, ground chili pepper, ground chipotle and only 1 TSP of curry powder. I also added 1/2 of a orange bell pepper and the results where amazing! **Thank you guys!!**

[@guitar1980]

Made this last night. Delicious. Loving what you guys are doing. More please ☺

[@thehappypear]

Stuart Scott Thanks for letting us know how you got on. :D

[@wendyp8488]

Made this yesterday. It IS super tasty! Had no lime so I used lemon juice and also added a capful of apple cider vinegar. Will be making this often. Thank you for sharing!

[@thehappypear]

Super stuff you're brill! 😄👍🙌

[@oxtail1000]

Hi Wendy! Did you follow the recipe closely? I’m asking bec some says you soak the lentils overnight. Some said add the tomatoes towards the end. I wanna know so I can tweak mine if needed.

[@Tafheem-ul-Quran78600]

It looks yummy and I will definitely try this

[@jonicabeird4657]

Just found your channel. Love it!! Thanks for the recipe. Subscribed! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@thehappypear]

Nikki Rasch That's what we like to hear, thanks so much for letting us know. :D

[@JatinPrakashBarai]

I am from India and lentils are consumed every day here... The reason the lentils didnt cook is cause tomatoes and lemon was added before... Plz add tomatoes and lime after the dal is cooked...

[@chris210352]

Made this tonight. OMG good!

[@TheBatime]

just made me some it was very nice.....

[@thomasdillon1465]

Just made this using a pressure cooker- fantastic.

Delicious red lentil Dahl! Low in calories and packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Melt in your mouth, super simple, quick and very comforting :)

[@MayoGurrrl]

+The Happy Pear - Hey lads, recently signed up to your online Happy Heart course and made my first meal from it tonight.... the dahl was nyummy! Added only 1 litre of water and it was perfect. Also added courgettes and spinach for extra goodness. First time cooking lentils so delighted with the results. Thanks :D

[@DeejayHonesT]

+The Happy Pear psssst^^ you forgot the courgette in the recipe on YT and your website :P donno if it´s on purpose ^^

[@benice3117]

How many cups of red lentils does 500g come out to for us dumb Americans? I think it's about 2 1/2 cups

[@benice3117]

Also do I need a huge pot for this recipe like you guys have?

[@thehappypear]

Hope you enjoyed! 😄👍🙌

[@appletrees0honeybees]

This was delicious! I found that it served 8 rather than 4, which means I now have a freezer full of dahl haha. Made some homemade naan to go with it, banging! Thanks a lot :)

[@dotthomas1852]

Made your Ramen noodles yesterday now I am making the Dahl now the noodles were delious

[@thehappypear]

[@niamhmccarthy2848]

You guys had an older video for this recipe, that personally I preferred (this one is great too though!) is that one gone from KZbin?

[@EwelinaWu]

SHE looks good!

[@VeganRevolutionPoland]

looks great :)

[@einfachleckerkochenmitTom]

super, toll gemacht, Danke Dir ... LG aus der ChaosKitchen51 Tom

[@patricenz]

Fantastic! I made dahl at least once a fortnight and have been looking for a new recipe to jazz things up. This is the one and will be on the menu this week. Cheers guys! Really enjoying your channel (will be making the hayfever miracle cure for my partner ... will try to not take the credit for her vastly improved health... ;)

[@thehappypear]

+Patrice NZ Thanks so much for watching, love to hear you're enjoying the channel. :D Good bye hayfever. :D

[@alancunningham2912]

Lads I'm a meat lover but I have been trying to cut it out as much as possible for a while. Got your book in December and my diet is now mostly based on your recipes (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall helps too). I haven't been disappointed by it yet and the food is powering me through my masters. Keep up the great work!

[@thehappypear]

Alan Cunningham Hey Alan, thanks so much for commenting, thats great to hear. glad we could help you. Your diet affects your brain funtion so much you'll breeze through your masters. Fair play. :D

[@alexandreamalishev931]

Hi guys I was wondering if tell me how many calories in a cup? Thanks

[@philippatanojo6392]

Approximately how many does this recipe serve?

[@janiceharris2449]

This looks so good.YUM!

[@wendyd9611]

How many cups of lentils is 500g? Is it about 2 cups?

[@thehappypear]

About 2 1/2! 😄👍🙌

[@Red_Tiger_Eye]

What is Courgette??

[@tigerdeer]

I love how you didn't use oil with the onions ... a lot of the time you can just dry fry onions and they are just as good as when you use oil.

[@GreySalt]

Red Lentils are amazeballs

[@thehappypear]

Oh thanks for the info. Masoor Dahl sounds more delicious than red lentil. :D

[@pialynn9619]

If you add salt (tamari) and acid (lime) after cooking, the lentils will take less time to cook!

[@evelynbaron2004]

I wing things now, after a couple of years, but I still get great ideas from you guys. I have an Asian market near where I live so the sky is the limit, including Tamari .and vegan fresh kimchi (is that an oxymoron?) tamari to you equals The Blue Whale to Alan Davis on QI .... except you get lucky every time! Totally great per usual.

[@nish82x]

I absolutely LOVE all your recipes, just bought your book and I cant wait to get it. I love the healthy recipes! I always try to cook food with as less oil as possible to stay healthy but unfortunately my boyfriend doesn't understand this concept :P Will try my best to introduce these recipes to him as well :D

[@thehappypear]

You'll win him over, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, haha.

[@curiosidadeboa]

Delicious! :-) But I cooked whit less curry.

[@hbledzep8]

This was so easy even I could make it. I added some harissa and garam masala though. Believe it or not 1 litre of water is the right amount!

[@madcitywendy]

Reading my mind in America. Just craving red lentil dal.

[@thehappypear]

Hope you enjoy it. :D Thanks for watching.

[@adhi_r]

South Indian dishes please

[@elisrae2884]

Whats that cucumber looking vegetable (the one they put in the pot, not the salad)? I can't find it on the recipe's ingredient list. Am I just blind?

[@xtigerlily07x]

Courgette (zucchini)

[@sazzywuzel]

It's a courghette. (Zucchini if you're American)

[@lisaishere0919]

Good oil help your body absorb the nutritions in veggie, Never skip that

[@Eidann63]

These guys have much to learn. They're no oil vegans.

[@fsilmael]

Tried it tonight, it was great :D But I have a question for you, my girlfriend is not a fan of the texture of lentils (event though she knows she should be eating some more often). Would you guys happen to have an idea of something I could try to hide this texture a little ? (be it in this recipe or another)

[@thehappypear]

Florian Saugues A tin of cooked lentils could do the job they have a slightly less "lentilly" texture, haha. But you could use peas or chickpeas or beans or even all the above. Hope this helps.

[@fsilmael]

The Happy Pear Tin cooked lentils did not work for her either, I'll try with peas or chickpeas, thanks for the tip :)

[@thehappypear]

No problem. :D

[@AmadasChannel]

Florian Saugues If you have a pressure cooker you can cook the lentils in a few cups of water and wait for 3-4 whistles. That would mash up the lentils and you would get rid of the texture.

[@fsilmael]

AmadasChannel Thanks for the tips. I don't have a pressure cooker, but I'll try to get one to check this out.

[@babaradavis]

You two are the BEST XXXX

[@MCRgirl93]

Can't wait to try this! Think you could add chicken? :)

[@thehappypear]

Sure if you want. Even try it without and see what you think, but by all means you can add anything you want to it. :D

[@sirclemeni1]

You have chinese eyes. Is it so bright outside? ;) Big up for you and your recipe. Going to make this tomorrow!

[@thehappypear]

Let us know what you think when you try it out. It does get a little glarey outside but we didn't want to cook with shades on.

[@FutureBreed13]

the music reminds me of howtobasic

[@katiejorea]

I'm a salt lover but i leave it out and just add to my plate or bowl.... unless I'm serving a group.

[@thehappypear]

Good idea Kate! 😄😋🙌

[@zerid0]

Nooo, you forgot the courgette in the ingredients. Now I have to go buy one quickly.

[@Skeir0n]

guys, actually u need a bit of oil, because vitamins are liposoluble... your body won't be able to proceed them well if you don't add any

[@thehappypear]

That's pretty interesting, we'll look into that, where did you read it? Is it all vitamins? Thanks for the comment.

[@Skeir0n]

It is actually not quite true for all vitamins: fat solubles are A, D, E and K (actually the fat soluble ones are the ones your body can store)... C and B are water soluble and you need a fresh dose more frequently. So for tomatoes, containing C, K, A, B and E vits, a bit of oil does wonder for your body. and I am sorry but don't know the source, my brother does dietology and he just wrote an exam on that topic...

[@Gee-xb7rt]

your brother is right, and the oil free thing is a bit over-hyped. i think because so much of the western diet you hear how bad oil is, and it is if you use excessive amounts of it, especially when its some mess oil like gmo corn/cottonseed/soybean oils, add in animal fats, and well, you got a mess. the west in generally struggles with either/or mentality on just about everything. if you don't want to cook with oil than you can add whole food fats like nuts and seeds to a meal. the fats in this daal are really minimal, and while lower calorie is good, calories really aren't the enemy, empty calories are.
