Mung Daal From Chowder

[desidol22]

wow how interesting, Andhrites call this dish Pesara Kattu and in my family we use both garlic AND ginger. We also use both cumin AND mustard. We don't use tomatoes.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@desidol22 : We are sure that tastes excellent as well! Thanks for sharing :)

[lavina886]

is there any way i can make mung daal if i don't have a pressure cooker?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@lavina886 : Yes, this is one daal that cooks really easily on the stove-top. Just keep and eye on it and it may also need more water (keep adding little at a time as needed) :)

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! I always loved Indian food, but moved to a part of the country where their are no Indian restaurants... so I will be trying to make my own. Anyway, I wanted to ask you both where you get those LOVELY clay pots that you use with daals... Like the one in this video... Thanks!

[surajchavda]

Your teaching people how to make more of me. Only that I'm blue. And a human. And have a mustache. And I make the food...

[greenranger8100]

@TheRealMung There is something wrong with you. You aren't even funny.

[lukzie]

How much cumin seeds do I need to add into the garlic flavoured mung dal?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

1/2 tsp of cumin seeds

[carigar]

[lordroad]

Thanks for sharing your mung dal recipe. We've made this recipe ourselves as a "detox soup" for a yoga class. Yours is similar but looks much more tasty and professional! Can't wait to try it!

I love your cooking show. I'd love to see you two on food network! It would get the channel back to its original purpose -- cooking!

I started my own youtube cooking show and was wondering what editing software you use? Great editing work ;)

[SidAmina]

tryed the recipe its great and easy. thanks x

[dnycguy3]

you two work together so well that it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. please tell more stories about your families and the experiences you have had with cooking and eating. they are also very interesting.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Mung comes in many varieties: Split mung without the shell is yellow, split mung with shell is light yellow with green, whole mung is fully green. Toor daal is a completely different daal.

[anjurtupil1]

When you guys say .. x' no of whistles..what temp is it that you guys keep the cooker at ? I saw the same thing with the Urad dal recipe..you just mention 2 whistles..but not the temp at which you got it there .. will surely help if you can specify the temp...thanks for the great work ..keep it going

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Pressure cookers cook with pressure so for the most part it really doesn't matter what temp you set it before the right amount of pressure builds up. Also, there must be a certain amount of liquid in the cooker so there is no danger of the food burning. We usually keep the flame on high.

[gnpradeep]

Why Mung dal is cooked differently? can we cook urad dal same way as mung dal? is it vice vers applies?

[gnpradeep]

why Mung Dal and Urad Dal are cooked differently? can we cook Urad dal same way as Mung and vice versa???

[rajratt]

Why is lemon juice added into dhal?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It gives it a wonderful flavor but if you are opposed to it, feel free to leave it out.

[nanefy]

Great recipes!

However I am one of those people who totally cannot stand Cilantro (or as we call it in scotland coriander). I dont mind if its cooked well in, but when it is sprinkled freshly onto food, it really ruins it for me. So I would cook your recipes, but minus the cilantro!

Thanks

[deadbeatdad]

What if we do both methods....use ginger/garlic paste, tomatoes AND mustard seeds...? Will that taste good?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

That would yield yet another result, but yes, it would still taste great!

[jpandyaraja]

thanks for such valuable service ......rgds jp

[leenasalhotra]

I love the idea of adding lemon juice to the dal. Vow ! Thanks.

[drpenelope]

I don't have a pressure cooker - so to cook it in a regular pot how much longer would I cook it?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Mung daal is one of the very few daals that actually cooks pretty fast in a pot. The time will depend on your pot as well as the heat source (approx 20 mins). Cook it uncovered or with the lid slighty open because Mung Daal releases some foamy bubbles which will boil over if the pot is covered.

[einsteinwallah]

You did not show the third version- the one with BOTH ginger and garlic. This one uses asafoetida correctly I think. Because I dont think one can use Hing without frying or roasting. Boiled Hing is yucky.

[TheHadithPolcie]

wow..thanks.
