Thank you for the recipe. I have a question - my boyfriend is Bengali, his mom makes the same dal, but also adds tomatoes. Is that another way to make masoor dal?

@violetviolets,

Yes, there are variations of making daal. And a mother always knows the best :-)

Thanks Ria. Glad to know that the daal turned out good. We hope to add more recipes (like you have mentioned) in the future.

@Jaybeefromhiscastle amen to that, and lol at your sister (in law). I just cooked the dish but used the reddish water of the lentils to cook the rice, risotto style, adding it little by little so all the flavor and nutritiousness remains in the side dish. and sneaked finely chopped kale into the legumes. yummy!

[Jaybeefromhiscastle]

@verticalmatt I was only here because I need to sneak some protein down the throats of my nieces/nephews, because they have a vegenazi mother. But I'm glad I learned another path to protein, and how to cook tasty food, which is a gift to mankind.

@Jaybeefromhiscastle or anemic, as in lack of animal protein! seriously I came here for the lentil soup but the voice of the girl is a real turn off

[Jaybeefromhiscastle]

Thanks for the video love, certainly made it simple enough for a man to cook (and I am!!) although you sound disinterested, almost as if someone were forcing you to make this vid !!

So you see the difference, you feel much better not eating these nonsense things. People are ignorant, when we try to help them they think we are trying to tell them what to do. Same thing applies to eating meat and other nonsense like eggs, mushrooms etc. These things have a huge impact on our consciousness. People are ignorant/stupid, they come up with many nonsense excuses.. well how am I going to get protein, these people have no intelligence. Thanks for comment.

@TheVedicStudent I remember a chef from the Hare Krishnas wrote this, as well. Ever since I read that, I've largely stopped eating garlic and onions. Garlic I miss, because I used to love that, but onions I don't at all.

Nice recipe, but make sure you've got a glass of water next to you while you eat this; it's probably hot enough to wake the dead. ;)
