I learned to cook from your recipe videos when I moved out of my parents home. I'm now in my final year of university and I'm grateful to have a eaten delicious and nutritious food throughout my time as a student! Many thanks to you!

[@FoodwithChetna]

That is awesome! Just made my Monday reading this. Thank you!

[@tracycampbell83]

I've given up the take away since learning to cook authentic Indian food. Thank you Chetna you are my shero

[@FoodwithChetna]

Wow, thanks a lot!

[@cocacola7845]

I regret not finding this channel sooner in my life! I made this tonight and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the whole family! And so unbelievably simple and quick to make. A new favourite in our home. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and recipes, Chetna. I'm excited to try more!

[@siena1963]

What a delicious Dahl !! I also added some leaves of cavolo Nero to the lentils. Yummy !

[@michaelmills2263]

Just got all the ingredients , will be making tonight here in USA. Thanks for everything you do, love your recipes.

[@artistlovepeace]

Thank you so much Chetna and family. I bought a stovetop pressure cooker that you show on your channel or a close substitute. I am so in love with Chetna's recipes and Indian food and general. I love and adore that you share so many great recipes. Love you.

[@midlifemom5829]

So easy an looks delicious! Will certainly try this week! Thank u

[@FoodwithChetna]

Have fun!

[@mparis130]

I saw this video just this morning and ran out to get the ingredients . I just made it for lunch and it’s soooo good!! It’s very hot where I am but it was exactly what I needed

[@nnjack9931]

I have been binge watching your channel and I just made this. OMG, it is sooooo good! This is easy and fantastic! Thank you!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks

[@lindaallinott803]

I wasn't sure about this recipe; it looked too simple. Made as directed today, except for cutting back on the quantity of oil & salt and using low fat coconut milk. WOW! It is amazing!!! I had a difficult time finding chili oil in Vancouver, but finally found some mild chili oil with crispy garlic @ Granville Island. The little hit of crispy garlic takes this dish to another level. This will definitely be on rotation for me, especially when short on time & immagination. Had it today for lunch; will have it again tonight for dinner with a side of greens & naan. Thank you Chetna for an awesome recipe!

[@elhamhughes8981]

You’re right. Its delicious. I had some kale and zucchini that needed to be used up so I added them to the dal half way through cooking time. Thank you for another great quick healthy recipe.

[@michaelsherwin5554]

I so love your cooking videos, always easy to follow and explained in a relaxed way so us armatures feel confident in having a go. Thank you Chetna.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much 😊

[@camnatale-miles2542]

Awesome again, much better sound quality too with the Rode Wireless Go

[@FoodwithChetna]

I used a rode mic in previous videos too.

[@MW-on1ft]

Just found your channel and am looking forward to making your dal recipe. I have this last year tried pre packaged dal which I like. I'm sure your recipe will be so much better! I had no idea how quick and easy it is to make. I like the thick and warming consistency, and the wonderful flavors are so satisfying. Thank you!

[@lindacsmith13]

If I hadn't just started my risotto I would have made this for my supper.

[@davidcampbell651]

Absolute gorgeousness in a bowl. Made this twice now and one of my favourite things to eat. Great recipes on your channel😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@philipmarno4989]

I make this regularly and the family love it. Just making another patch now. Fantastic.

[@Connniedsouza62]

Unique way and looks Delish. Can you let me know how you make your chilli oil,thanks Connie

[@FoodwithChetna]

I buy from the shops!!!!

[@NinaGrkovic]

Just this afternoon my son who lives on his own asked for a new recipe for dal. Sharing it now. Lovely😘

[@jmjm4044]

Delicious Chetna 👍🏽. Thank you for this recipe with coconut milk ❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

hope you enjoy

[@deborahmoore2801]

Just made this. Truly simple! Delicious too - I lived the chile oil trick at the end. I kept wanting to add fennel seeds & a bit of black pepper to the dal, but restrained myself this first time. Perhaps next time, if you approve.

[@deborahmoore2801]

Corrrction: Loved not lived!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Absolutely go for it next time!

[@hoof2001]

Amazing recipe! Made it it tonight and wow. Amazing. For me? Two large tablespoons of the chilli paste. Thank you. Not just for this but for everything you do 😁

[@FoodwithChetna]

THANK YOU so much!

[@BoggWeasel]

Smashing, just what I was looking for, something coconutty with a hint of spiciness. Thank you Chetna 👍👍👍👍👍😀

Thank you 😋

[@dianecox185]

Halved this and just used onion, garlic and sliced chilli. Delicious and quick, enough for one. Thank you Chetna

[@FoodwithChetna]

My pleasure 😊

[@philipmarno4989]

Making this just now, the taste is wonderful. However can you please show how to make the chilli oil, or did I miss that. Great , many thanks.

[@FoodwithChetna]

I havent shared that yet, will share soon!

[@Lucy-fd6qz]

I love all your recipes. I have learnt to make so many of your dishes. this is on my menu for tomorrow evening 😋. I made one of your chicken recipes a while back and my son thought I'd ordered it from the local takeaway. 😉 it was absolutely delicious 😋 x ❤️

[@NinaAnthonijsz]

Oh yeah! Will be trying tonight or tomorrow!

[@FoodwithChetna]

enjoy

[@ninagoorohoo6302]

Will try for sure

[@Krimpers]

I will be trying this one too yummy 😋

[@FoodwithChetna]

enjoy!

[@yarnstead]

This is similar to a dal I’ve made in the past but it didn’t have coconut milk or the leek! Definitely will be an upgrade to do it according to this video 🎉😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

Leek add so much flavour

[@happyhead63]

Ps your chickpea recipes are the best x

[@windlessoriginals1150]

Looks delicious!

you are welcome

Loved watching you on Bake off. Your recipes are yummy🎉

Thanks so much

[@anitaalfie]

Hi do you have a video on how to make chili oil on our channel? I really enjoy your recipes.Thank you 🥰

[@FoodwithChetna]

Will upload soon

[@huw3851]

ludicrously simple - I think even I could manage that.

[@philipellis7039]

Made this twice now. Quite simple and delicious. First time it was too salty for me, I’d suggest using half the salt suggested in the lentils as you can always add more later.

[@FoodwithChetna]

I always say salt and chilli should be to taste

[@siamesejasmine]

I NEED to make this!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@westiefish9642]

Another great recipe!! I’m 25 minutes in and the dhall has still a bite to it? I’m using chains dhall? Thanks

[@FoodwithChetna]

These lentils cook in 12-15 minutes but if you are using any other variety it will take longer

[@judychandler5822]

I've got your chicken, lentil and fresh turmeric, though I'm using ground turmeric, from your recipe book, cooking as I'm watching this. I haven't tried it before but it smells delicious. I've just eaten some and it is delicious I'll definitely be making it again

[@FoodwithChetna]

That one is yum too

[@sarahwhite6946]

Thank you so much for another wonderful recipe. Can’t wait to make this. Does it matter too much if you don’t have ghee? (Could you use butter instead?) Thank you.

[@FoodwithChetna]

yes yes or even just use oil

[@judithzondler1657]

I've never cooked lentils in coconut milk - sounds and looks delicious, and I will surely try that! Not sure about the chili oil, though....what's in it and how to make it? Just chilies marinating in oil? It looks like the chinese kind with lots of other stuff in it too...🤔

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes its just shop bought chilli oil

[@naheedcookingpoint197]

So tasty and yummy

[@FoodwithChetna]

so so good

[@ririk4191]

Can I use any chilli oil? X

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes you can!

[@Godschild52909]

Chetna, do you make your own chili oil?... btw I'm going to make this. I'm on Vancouver island and though we have no snow, it's cold here today.

[@FoodwithChetna]

No I dont make my own chilli oil and keep trying different brands

[@neelukampani6548]

Which brand of chilli oil you buy Chetna?

[@FoodwithChetna]

I buy many brands, always try a new one once the jar is finished

[@neelukampani6548]

Which one is the best one you can recommend?

What is a good substitute for chili oil?

Hi Chetna that looks delicious 😁😋 I would definitely give that a try, I live in Lincoln within the UK 😁 we have coconut milk at home so I will definitely cook this 😁😋 thank you so much for sharing 😁❤️

I didn’t have a leek and chopped up a courgette instead and it was just as delicious. The crispy chilli oil was a tasty addition.

Lol...in the kitchen right now making your dal, with carrots and courgettes. Will add this one to the rotation as well 😁

Yeah, that one is lovely too

[@RayCooper-l8w]

Cool now here in Central coastal Florida. I know this dal recipe and have fresh greens in the garden. That’s our version of the simple dal. I also know a simple dal which is called Cheater’s Dal. Besan flour (chic pea ).

[@monamoller5280]

Dear Chetna this is a gratis receipe - we had it with Naan bread and the bowl was polished clean...

[@melindaoliveri3757]

Is the coconut a very stron flavor?,,, I ask bc I don’t like coconut very much,,, yet I haven’t minded it if added to certain recipees,,, yet if it’s a strong flavor I probably wouldn’t care for it,, would I be able to make this WITHOUT the coconut milk?

[@FoodwithChetna]

you can just cook it with water and skip coconut

[@happyhead63]

Can it be a bit thicker ? I'm not keen on the soup consistency x

[@MrCElk]

Just bought 30 minute Indian so I feel less guilt making your food. This looks like a great addition to my dal armory BTW.

[@melindaoliveri3757]

Chetna?,,, please advise as to what I can replace the coconut milk with,,,PLEASE,, I feel silly for even having to ask,,, but I can’t have anything coconut,,,😔😊, andddd I’m a new cook,, so I don’t like to assume anything! Lol lol lol

you can just skip it and use just water
