[msvisio]

[Barbiedoll4j]

Thank you so much for this. enjoy Indian food and have just decided to try cooking it myself. You make it much nicer to learn. Again, thank you for all your work.

[BoroniaBaby]

[ayeshasanakhan]

hi anti! yeh toor daal ko Urdu main kya kehtay hain? i am from Pakistan and here there is not such daal named Toor dal Can u tell me some other name of this daal?

[pallavmishra]

Dear manjulaji, I got a pressure cooker from India since I was not very happy with the alternatives available in the US,,could you guide me with it - how many "seetis" or whistles of the pressure cooker before the daal is ready?

[Shuyue2007]

Dear Manjula, how long do I have to cook the dal without a pressure cooker? Many thanks! Georgiana

[send2viki]

Can you please tell me what are the vegetables you added in makiing the dal?

Tomato + Beans and what is the other one?

[hiteshscholes]

thanks,it helped me make dal in united states

[irfand4]

Great recipe. Thank you. I have a question :

I have been told that spices are useless until fried in oil to release their oil and aroma/taste. Why have you added turmeric at the onset without frying it. Would it not be better to fry it with the chaunk for better taste ?

[bukuria7]

I am making now! Thank you so much!

[reshuhk86]

Namaste Manjula ji:)

I would like to know an substitute for Mango powder ( Amchur), can I use lemon juice instead ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@reshuhk86

lemon juice will work fine.

[juzplain]

@Manjulaskitchen is tamarind a good substitute for Amchur?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@juzplain Tamarind is a good sustitute for amchoor for this recipe but not in every recipe.

[explicitlaydee]

That looks delicious!!!!

Namaste! Thank you for posting!!!!

[MuslimahWarrior]

[aileenjanis]

thanks manjula! sooo yummy, i tried it today :)

[milkphish2]

Loved this video b/c the instructions are so clear and easy to follow. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks, Manjula!

[TooLooseLeTrek]

Can you suggest other vegetable combinations that would work well with this recipe?  I am not Indian but do have access to some Indian vegetables.

[TooLooseLeTrek]

Your videos are such an encouragement! I have been cooking Indian style for a few years, off and on, carefully following a recipe book and it went well. However, I watched this video (and the rajma bean stew yesterday), went out today and bought a really good pressure cooker (my old one was quite cheap) and I must say, this is SO delicious! I have two different toor dal dishes as you desribed here and love the contrast.

Thank you! My lips are warm and glowing - Chilies!

[xxxdisneyrocksxxx]

yum

[manojaustin360]

very nicely done! easy to follow what ingredients are being used and how to cook. Also 2 dal dishes from the 1 video which is great.

[TheAlienOverlord]

Thank you very much!

[jaanash]

hi mayouches...u can cook toordaal in microwave also..just sock daal for 30 min and then put it in mcro. on hight power for 8 min but dont forget to stear it occationally..i hope u like my reply..

[kalragh]

Manjula Ji,

Which brand is your pressure cooker ?. Why I am asking is that in some brands, the dal leaks out while cooking in the base of the pressure cooker especially when the whistle comes on . thanks

[saaanaz]

Kalragh - My pressure cooker is a Fagor brand. Manjula's looks almost the same as the one I have.

[syfie]

Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried sweet red or green bell peppers (Capsicum annuum). In many European countries, the name paprika also refers to bell peppers themselves. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add colour and flavour to dishes.

[larcm1]

Is that the same as Cholian dhi daal? that's what I think we call it in Punjabi.

[ripsysehgal]

hi, no it is calles arhar dal , chole di dal koi hor hundi hai but it looks very similiar to that., you will find it easily , on the packets it is written 'toor dal' go n check out.

[leenasalhotra]

i love all your videos.. I am in California and love watching your videos. Can I use the same recipe for mung dal or other dals?

[yogikanna]

Thanks for sharing your recipes! I am a big fan of north indian cooking, but didn't know many recipeces. I am good at south indian cooking because i am originally from south. Thanks a lot!

[MousamiGupta]

[maurocom]

Hello manjula, I can't find hing here in Italy, what shoul i use instead?

[Manjulaskitchen]

just do without it

[sdgupt]

order it online.

[yogikanna]

hing is asoefoetida in english

[ArgoSG]

@maurocom Order online. It's inexpensive. There are almost definitely some UK based online indian grocery which will ship to Italy. You can even buy fresh curry leaves online and add a few to your tadka like Manjula describes, and it will be delicious. Good luck.

[vinithmenon28]

@maurocom its called Asafoetida... u can chk tht in market

[seykayay]

[rewabc]

I really enjoy your videos. I am just learning to cook Indian food and your videos are very helpful. I'm going to make this recipe tonight. Thanks again!!!

[guillelloseta]

hello from Spain!! i enjoy watching your videos and recipes... you are GREAT Manjula!!!

[bottlecapdrunk]

Namaste. I would like to verify that lentils are what was put in the pressure cooker? I read that Dal are lentils on wikipedia.

[Manjulaskitchen]

Toor dal and lentils are different but from the same family. You can use lentils only change I will make do not use Black mustard seeds in spices.

[roggieroo]

hi i wass wondering if you knew the recipe for aloo kashmiri???
