    Can you whisk the dal with a whisk to thicken it faster?

    @vishliberal Wish you the best of luck with the venture. I am sure it will
    turn out just great. Yes, once you get the daal to a rolling boil, put it
    on a griddle (tavaa) and set the flame to simmer. Allow it to gently cook
    through out the process. The slow cooking does wonders for the flavor and
    texture of the daal. Please let me know how it turned out.

    @MrPaprcka Thanks for pointing this out. I would recommend you stick with
    the recipe in the video. I will be updating and changing the website soon,
    as I have been facing a few issues with the same.

    People who have cooked it this way seem to like it, so don’t be an arse.

  10. vishliberalMarch 5, 2014 at 7:51 amReply

    so you let it cook on a slow flame for 8 hours?

    @nigamdurgesh I’m afraid not. Split Urad does not make a good Daal. It’s
    used as a fermenting agent in dosas and idlis, and as an ingredient in
    tempering (primarily in south Indian cuisine). For this, you really need
    the whole urad dal.

    Dear Irfan, your videos are a delight to watch and learn, especially the
    Dhal Makhani, except for the time factor. Where will I find the scaled down
    shortcut version of this recipe? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work,
    I am learning a lot from you. God Bless.

    @2000newyorkcity Thank you! I will most certainly put that on my list soon.
    I am taking a break from videos, as we are in the process of moving house.
    However, 2012 promises to bring forth newer videos, newer kitchen etc.
    Thanks again.

    Simple physics… As you add more ingredients, the volume increases. Does
    that answer your question?

    Hiya, You are so camera savvy 🙂 will def be looking up more of your
    recipes! Just wondering about the salt in this recipe, did you consciously
    not add it? Or did I miss it!

    @irfandama Made it last night, worked out really well.. even my hubby who
    is not a big lentil fan, wants me to make it again…will post the vid soon
    🙂

    Can I cook this in Slow cooker? If Yes then, should I add the ingredients
    in the same order?

  19. LeftistUprisingMarch 5, 2014 at 11:52 amReply

    8 hours? Bollocks.

  20. vishliberalMarch 5, 2014 at 12:11 pmReply

    @irfandama WOW. Amazing recipe. I’ve tried more than a few dal makhani
    recipes, this is by FAR the best. I love how you used tomato paste as well,
    find that many recipes dont use enough tomatoes in their dal makhani. It
    reminded me of a Dal Bukhaara I had a while ago. Once again, thanks!

    Yes… I do need a hair cut. I did shower though… but I guess you can’t
    tell.

    Hey Chef , I have just tried this recipe but I think I added too much
    Ginger . Any ideas how to neutralize this effect ?

    I love the way he presents himself….. and i know the dish gonna taste
    gr8…. Thank you very much…. expecting more from your end.

    That would depend on the recipe you are using. A lot of the restaurants use
    Tomato Puree or canned tomatoes. These are sometimes high in sodium. Let me
    know the recipe you use, and I can tell you a few tips and tricks on making
    it taste more restaurant style.
