[NATiVEBABi916LADy]

MMM looks sooo delish! but how long can i cook it before it turns to mush?

[utube201074]

Hello, I'm a big fan of gujrathi thali and always wanted to make gujrati dal. I tried this recipe and it turned out great!! Tthe only exception is that I didn't put as much water but neverthelesss it turned out great.

I have a question though.. this is the first time that I've used Kokum & it's dry and round (as opposed to the one in the recipe).v My Q is: taste wise is there any diff. between the type I used and the one used in your recipe? Also, is it Ok if I put it after the dal is cooked?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@utube201074

As with anything fresh vs dried, the flavor will be slightly different. However, the dried one will definitely work. Also, since it is dry, it is best to cook it with the daal...gives it more time to soak through and release the flavor.

[lokloke7777]

i tried this dal it turned out to be very watery how can it be served with rotis, the proportion which u tell does not turn out to be a thick dal can u plz tell me whether the traditional gujarati dal is thick or watery

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@lokloke7777

Gujarati daal is somewhat more watery than punjabi style daal. If you do not prefer it that way, just reduce the amount of water by a bit or cook it for longer.

[majin27]

@lokloke7777 . Don't add to much water or boiled it a little bit longer. So the water wil burn away.

[babanachiket]

My all time fav

[RTechstudio]

i make this and i eat it with crispy chicken which i make, and if my lacy i pick up some popeyes and pour some daal over the crispy chicken, which taste ridiculously Amazing.

[nature01lucky]

The hindi word for the spices put into hot oil for daal would be "TADKA"

[rosekarim]

This recipe is great. i couldn't find kokum but i loved this daal. love to watch ShowMeTheCurrry.

[rosekarim]

what is kokum?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@rosekarim:Kokum is dark purple to black, sticky and with curled edges. The fruit is often halved and dried, so that the dried seeds are visible in their chambers like a citrus fruit. It is usually available as a dried rind, resembling a thick plum skin. When added to food it imparts a pink to purple colour and sweet/sour taste.

Bouquet: a slightly sweet and sour aroma.

Flavour: a refreshing sour taste, slightly astringent

Hotness Scale: 1

[Deewana71727]

ma mom makez da best daal

[darshdarshu]

I want my children to say this.... that wudnt be possible I guess....

[missy07yashy]

you know when u pour the oil into the daal .. whats the hindi for that?? my dad cooks daal, when he adds the oil he says this word lol ...can u plz help :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Vaghar?

[madsran13]

tadka ,chonk, vaghar..

[ambubhai]

i think this is not the way gujarati dal is made, you guys are showing it in a wrong way, whn you cook the dal in cooker, you put the tomatoes with the dal.....secondly, in south gujarat or inplace like surat, valsad or vapi, they never use ghee in dal....secondly it will make more hot if u mix green chilli and red chilli powder both.

actually blending is a better option

[pathu32]

hmmm...this is not how my mom or any of the other gujju Patel's make dar...after the dar is done cooking in the pressure cooker, strain it through a sieve...in another pan heat the oil, put mustard seeds, methi seeds, cinnamon stick, cloves, hing, after the vaghar add tomatoes, dar no masalo, red chili powder and add the strained toor dar in the vaghar...then add cilantro and lemon...tastes just like mandir/temple dar...i've never seen it prepared this way. I will give this a try it looks GOOD!

[babanachiket]

i tried it, it really works ;-) nice one guys.

thanks

[9desertrose9]

great! My mom will be proud the day I make this daal lol

[Desi4evah]

no garlic?

[linepoto]

i do differntly. i am gujrathi man. i start with a bowl with a tomatoe, diced, add ginger paste, green chilli diced, curry leaves, jaggery,tomatoe paste. cook daal in cooker and grind. in pan with oil heat it and add cumin, mustard seeds. when pop ad hing. then fry tomatoe mis and add water. add toor daal cooked. and get daal masaala or 7 masaala. tastes like my moms. i am a man.

[babanachiket]

sounds like gujarati sambhar !

[TheNirugk]

Hi.....I'm a bachelor, and use your videos frequently to guide me through cooking my lunches and dinner......so thanks a lot for the work you've been doing. As far as this recipe goes, I have not been able to find kokum at a grocery nearby. Is there another ingredient i could substitute it with? Thanks again!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can use a little bit of tamarind paste or some lime/lemon juice.

[fibreoptik]

"turn back the stove on"

LOL

[TooLooseLeTrek]

This recipe is amazing! I'm on my second batch in four days, and the second time, I even used the correct amount of fenugreek seed.

Excellent! AWESOME.

[ranjanabhat]

Hi there,

Any particular reason you add oil and ghee for the tadka?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Ghee adds a really unique and delicious flavor to the daal. Since we always focus on healthy Indian cooking, we mix oil with ghee. It will give the daal flavor but cut the cholesterol in half.

[amiastonishing]

hi hetal n anuja, i made this daal exactly the way u showed n it came out very well,tx btw when u guys making undhiyu i wanna learn that recipe from yr video.tx.

[chirpysang]

[SheerParadise]

mqm u suck and r a total hater go find something good to do in life

[kolgibson89]

You probably can't cook, and you can't spell. It's peasant, not peasent.

[babanachiket]

i searched "how to cook gujarati daal" now the search shows your video but quite below because of tags. u have tagged all words gujarati, daal and cook but SEPERATELY, which should be avoided, along with seperation also tag phrases, like , gujarati daal, or cook gujarati daal,

the more specific words match , the first u re displayed, the 1st u re displayed the more people watch u and the more people watch you, the more fan calling you have..... bolo baba nachiket ki jay. :) lol... best of luckk

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Thank you!  We'll keep that in mind.

[lewis1122334455]

there is like 40 ingredients is it that good?

[fibreoptik]

40 - LOL

hardly 40 but yeah there are a lot... and they are worth is trust me

[meripyare]

Humm wht do you mean by 4 to 5 whistles? wht do you do exactly?

thx for the tip!!

;)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Most pressure cookers make a loud whistling sound when enough pressure has built up inside. The more times you let the cooker "whistle", the more the food inside gets cooked. Every pressure cooker is different so you really have to experiment with your's to get it perfect.

[meripyare]

hummm the pressure cooker whistle..that i know...but when you said 4-5 times...do youopen it ? or if it's the cooking time, approximatly in minutes how long is it ??? :) by the way, thx for uploading such good videos.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It is not a hard and fast rule, but usually, whistles are about a minute apart. While the cooker is whistling, you do not open it. Let the cooker whistle for either 4-5 whistles or 4-5 minutes and switch off the stove. When the pressure has gone down on its own, you can open the cooker.

[meripyare]

thx thx thx ;)

[sholayo]

Ladies!

And what if I do NOT HAVE pressure cooker? How to boild daal without it?

Any advice will be STRONGLY appreciated!

&

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can make any daal without using a pressure cooker but just be aware that it will take considerably longer time. You can follow the same steps in the recipe but instead of putting the ingredients in a pressure cooker, just boil it in a large pot (covered). Be sure to check on it often and keep stirring and adding water as it evaporates. Most important, start with well soaked daal. Pressure cookers are not too expensive and a great investment for you kitchen. Food retains more nutrients.

[sholayo]

Thanks a lot for a quick response!

BTW

In Poland presser cookers are not popular anymore so it wouldn't be easy to find one. On the top I have limited shelf space in my kitchen :)

BTW 2

Just subscribed couple of days ago but everyday I excersise some recipes you present!

Keep it up.

Andrzej

[YoLninYo]

I really have an issue with this "3 whistles" thing. Desi women, to my chagrin, always use this "measurement scheme".

If you know that pressure cookers are diff. then wouldn't it be more helpful to say, 'On our pressure cooker, it takes 20 minutes'.

I mean, we don't say, "sit on the train for 3 whistles, and then get off..." (and then add... well different trains have different speeds so you really have to experiment with it... LOL buahahahaha :)

love your shows btw, keep it up,

[rtrivedi14]

Awesome, I remember back home our neighbors tell my mom "We can smell the aroma whenever you're making daal". But it's a daily preparation and I never appreciated it. Also, I don't think tamarind or aamchur can be a substitute for kokum - just like you cant use kokum in sambar! Anyways, thank you so much ladies - I am inspired enough to try this on my own!

[GoodKush00]

really love all the spices in this dish. i do not think i have had some of these and would love to try. thanks again for the videos!

[fraghag]

Is anyone else having a hard time finding Kokum at the market? I live in San Jose CA USA and I think it should be easy to find here but I went to three Indian markets and didn't find it. :( I can use tamarind as a substitute but I really want to make it the way it is in the video.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Kokum Phool is more common in the stores. It is a dry version and the color is more brown, not black. You will get good flavor, but not so much color with this variety -- but a good alternative.

[fraghag]

Hi - thanks I found dried Kokum at Coconut Hill in Sunnyvale!

[brijeshchauhan]

Thanks for the recipe...My mom uses "Vaghariyu" back in India...Do you know where can I find it here??

[ShowMeTheCurry]

:) My mom also uses one! You may be able to find one in some of the bigger Indian grocery stores that carry utensils. Or you can get someone to pick one up for you from India (it's pretty small).

[Esunshine71]

looks good.

do you ladies have Macaroni and cheese indain way recipe:)?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You're in luck! Please check our website for a detailed recipe and video for "Desi Mac". You'll find it under the "Fusion" tab at the top.

[briggybear]

If you were to serve this with rice, would you serve it like gumbo? Thanks for the all the videos. I know it takes time to film and edit them.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

This daal is usually served with the meal (which includes a vegetable or subzi and roti or chapati). You can dip your chapati in the daal - it's yummy! Then, at the end of the meal, you mix the daal with some white rice. Everyone mixes it on their own. It is never mixed and served (like gumbo).

[span0306]

You guys are just great i have tried some of your receipes they are just great i will definetly try this too ...............Can u please put some receipes for noodles .........and some lunch ideas for kids and grown ups.......thanks priya

[marushacruz]

lovely!!

[abymathew]

What is kokum?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Kokum is a fruit which is used as a souring agent similar to tamarind and also for it's color. It is called by many different names in India, some of which are: Amsol/Aamsul, Bindin, Biran, Bhirand, Bhinda, Bhrinda, Brinda, Kokum/Kokam, Katambi, Panarpuli,Kudam Puli or Ratamba

[abymathew]

Oh ok. Kudam Pulli makes sense to me :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You know, i just saw kudam pulli at the Indian store but somehow it was not exactly kokum. It had a smoky smell to it.

[flame4myandy]

OMG looks soooooooo good!
