I'm not a pressure cooker person - any advice about doing the moong "manually"? ie. would the watr:dhal proportions stay the same - and how long would one cook it?

cheers

Mung daal cooks pretty easily in a pot, but it will require a little more water. You can start out with 2 cups and keep adding as needed. Water tends to evaporate more on the stove than a pressure cooker.

I have to ask a lot of the recipes call for curry leaves. I had to leave my plant behind when we moved states. Now I can't find another plant here. Do I need to add the curry leaves? Or can I substitute something else?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

There is no real substitute for curry leaves. You can omit them but they do add a unique flavor. Have you tried buying curry leaves at the local Indian grocery store?

HAHAHAHA! I have to laugh. I live in this little town that has nothing! Well maybe not quite nothing. The Japanese language teacher from the University decided to do something about us not having any decent oriental food in the stores here. She opened a Japanese market. I was ecstatic! There is a small town, or more like a blip on the map near here that has a (well only one) market that I believe has some Indian foods. I will have to check that out this weekend.

Ladies, another wonderful, healthy recipe. I know I am going to enjoy making and eating it. Do you ladies, by any chance, know why your recipes are not showing up on the day you upload them for viewers? I found this recipe only today and it has been uploaded about 10 days before! If you know a reason, do let me know.  Keep up the good work!

We have been getting a lot of comments regarding our videos not showing up in the subscribed section. Unfortunately, we have no idea why. Will try to find out from youtube.

Ah, back to India. It's mouth-watering.

You two always have the right tool for the right job.

Does one of you have a curry leaf plant (murraya koenigii) or do you buy them? My plants aren't doing well.

This breakfast is a healthful start to the day. This is the way everyone should be eating. Your families are very lucky to have you guys in them.

Thank you for all you do.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thanks! Yes, both of us have curry plants at home (several of them :)). You have to bring them inside for the winter and sometimes, they go into hybernation but they do come back in the spring.

That's good to know. I have one outside and have one inside. The inside one is turning yellow on some branches. Maybe it needs nitrogen.

The outdoors one is doing better, and it's been cold at night. I'll dig it up though and bring it in. Thanks for letting me know they go dormant.

Thank your so much for your help.
