I'm confused. Did you cook the rice and lentils before adding to the sauteed stuff? I've watched several times and read description.

[@hellomellow4265]

@@theworldisastage3425 doesn’t look like they were cooked ahead. From what I saw or understood, the Lentils were soaked 8 hours. The rice was rinsed 3 times to rid the extra starch. They were cooked when all were added to the pot. That’s my understanding but I could be wrong.

I wish that other bloggers would learn from your unobtrusive, unhurried, unassuming, and encouraging demeanor-in everything you bring to the table in your videos, Mr Man. All that you do and say (because of your peaceful manner) makes for a relaxed meal. Thank you. I didn't have that as a child.

[@silla-je9od]

A lot of KZbin content creators seem to feel like they have to pull silly faces, speak very loudly, strike stupid poses, jump up and down, and otherwise create a clown show. It's really odd. I wonder if KZbin encourages this in some sort of "tips for content creators" or something? I don't know. But yeah, it's refreshing when a content creator actually looks and sounds like a normal person.

Gotta say, I do make this lentil dish, (or a pretty close cousin to it), in my rice cooker, as one of my "go-to" quick dinners. It is always a hit with others who I eat it with. Subbed, and seriously looking at the books to buy.

So relaxing. And the music. Heaven.

I love the voice-over on the cooking process. It's not the cheery, bubbly "I'm using all the crap on KZbin that I learned waiting tables to maximize my tips!!" thing. It's like a professional intel analyst commenting on the feed from a spy camera, if spy cameras were used for stealing other countries' best recipes.

This dish is must try. Looks so delicious and hearty. Thanks for bringing us these fantastic recipes.

We have a similar recipe called khichri, which is usually eaten when a person has an upset stomach. So the local version doesn’t have a lot of chilli powder but a lot of cooling whole spices such as green cardamom, fennel seed, salt and some black pepper. The spicier version is eaten as a regular dish which is accompanied with a yoghurt side and some pickle and pappadom.

I love watching you cook. This dish is wonderful! Thank you.

The lentil and rice dish was great, I did it as the recipe which was delicious, but when I made it again I included a couple of additions, a tad of white miso and reduced the amount of veg stock bouillon, I’m in a miso phase and I buried a few frozen blocks of spinach, whilst the pot rested after cooking which added more colour and more nutrition, both ways are winners. I am really enjoying this new calming channel discovery 🙏 thank you.

[@carlosydelrosario532]

Will, you are sooo creative. I wonder how you get inspired to come up with these dishes. And the fact that you’re a photographer doesn’t hurt either. You sure know how to make your dishes look so irresistible!

[@ilkamolnar6115]

I will!!! Thank you!

[@SusanA1056]

[@eileendemmith550]

Thank you for sharing your plateware with us. I love how your food looks in the bowls you use...actually Iove how all your food is plated up. Thank you!!

[@nashemanlightwala2082]

In India we cook this similar dish named "Masoor pulao". However the proportion of rice : lentil is slightly different. We use 60% rice and 40% lentils. Great style of showing your recipe, Mr. Man. Thank you.

[@feiyunslopebulletinboard7217]

It's called Mujaddara, originally we made it with Freekeh before importing indian basmati rice became the norm in the 12-13th century. Lentils/Dhal food for the "poor" and so delicious.

[@elainelindsey1306]

In south africa the Indian and Malay community also use masoor in biryani it looks similar to this

[@lspag7415]

Delicious and easy!! I had most of the items in my pantry/fridge and the result was so good. Thank you for this recipe, we loved it and can see we could vary it with the addition of other vegetables (cauli would be lovely in this recipe). Many thanks :)

[@arianayoung7537]

I liked deep plate to eat in, not shallow ones

[@anniemccowan9902]

Well, this showed up in my KZbin feed and it sounded like a good recipe. Rather than just skipping to the written instructions and ignoring the video like I normally do, I was immediately drawn in by the almost meditative quality of the video - the music, your soothing voice, the entire cooking process were all so relaxing yet compelling. I hadn't planned on a trip to the grocery today, but I'm going to get the couple of ingredients I'm lacking and make this delicious-sounding (and looking) dish. Thank you!

[@ellisbell597]

Utterly satisfying and delicious! Thank you!

[@YEUNGMANCOOKING]

Thanks for your recepie and clear, unhurried delivery. Rice and lentils combine to produce a perfect balance of amino acids essential to health. So, this dish has it all: flavour, health, nutrition and economy.
