This guy is ultra obnoxious
Great information but the background music is annoying.

Background music rather loud…
awesome content and presentation!

Im a texture phobic that looks
Jely or gelatinous well slimy polite pass
You do a wonderful job with your presentations!🙂. Appreciate all the information!🕊
I am not an Indian but I love this Indian food: rice + lentils curry.(potato, carrot pcs ,tomato mix).👍👍👍👍
Firangi bhi hamare daal chawal pe Fida hai. Hamare baap dada bewaquf nahi the. Rice lentil matlab apni khichdi,jo hazaron salon se hum kha rahe hai. Firangiyon ko aaj pata chala.
To kon intelligent hai ? Hamare baap dada ya ye firangi?
One of the Soul foods of India. There is life in that food. Such lively
I like canned lentils better than the dry ones. The reason is the dry ones always burst when I cook them. I’ll try your method of soaking because it makes sense. Essentially that’s what’s happening with the canned lentils they are soaking in liquid.

As someone who always had lentils in very rich soups, i didn't know people cared about keeping lentils whole in their dishes i learned one more fact about lentils than what's on the video
Very interesting!
A "recipe video" with no recipe — pretty lame.
Nice video, Dan! As a Pakistani, I enjoy dal with chapati, with rice, or even cold in a grilled sandwich. I particularly enjoy daal with finely chopped raw onions and a squeeze of lemon. Not sure why, but I love the contrast this method of eating brings. Try it!
For God's sake grow up. I'm sure I'd have been happy with the content but why torture us with annoying noises while you are talking?
So good!
Tried brining and following his directions and they went into the garbage, they were watery and I can't describe how bad they were. I feel sorry for anyone who tries out his recipes.
Dan, my husband & I love your presentations but you talk so fast and we need CAPTIONS! Can you fix that? Please?
Yesterday I cooked my lentils with rice. I love it. I eat lentils almost daily and I am very addicted to it. LOL
Used the link for the Palak dal and got slammed by cookies and paywalled by the site for recipe
I love lentils and use them in a variety of ways. For people wanting less meat in their diet, or no meat, lentils and rice are a very important combination.
Can you speek a bit slower, please
The Holy Bible says the world is more or less 6000 years old and it has many stories to prove it together with historical artifacts. In Genesis 1, when God created the world, he gave man to eat plant bearing seeds and fruit. In the book of Daniel, Daniel and the three Hebrew boys chose pulse and water instead of the king’s flesh foods and wine, and they looked better and healthier after a ten day trial. So, check your script before you read it… do some due diligence before you distort truth. Anyway, thanks for the otherwise detailed information.
Thank you
Carb on carb!!!
A scientific approach to cooking, i already love this channel. Subscibed and liked.
Thanks, now I'm craving daal even though I just had a giant bowl of harrari – ie lentils!
Isn't it methionine, not tryptophan?
Talking too fast!
Don't add salt until after the lentils have cooked.
Always thought chonk was an adjective for dogs but you're telling me its a cooking technique? That's amazing
Loved the vid, but at 5:16 that's "a little bit of salt"? O_O
Why is he talking out of the bottom corner of his mouth?
The music is to annoying
