4 LENTIL Recipes EVERYONE Should Know

My mom is a notorious lentil hater but I've cooked several of the meal plan lentil recipes for her and literally just last night she said "I've always hated lentils because I thought they tasted like dirt but lately they've tasted good." You converted her! I'll have to try some of these next!

The lentil bolognese is OUTRAGEOUS. I've made it at least 30 times from your cookbook. The wine and whole tube of tomato paste technique is next level.

I am so glad that channels like this also exists in the internet!❤

Ma’am we need to talk come here …………… I just made the bolognese with the wine and really cook in layers as you described in your recipe. Let me tell you, I’m so proud of myself and this sauce taste so good. Idk if because of the caramelizing of the onion, paste and wine but it was just perfect amount of sweet. Now I’m still cooking currently, I like how thick your was so I’m going to keep cooking but thank you. Thank you for sharing and I will be drilling around to help with having some good meal prep

Until yesterday when I watched this video, recipes for Lentil Bolognese never really sounded good to me. I'm so glad I gave yours a try! This dish is a new obsession with my family. It seems decadent but is incredibly healthy. Thanks so much for sharing your creative gifts with your viewers.

You always remind me that I need to get off my duff and make more of an effort to vary my plant-based diet. I have no excuses either, as I live in Toronto, and have access to a wide range of ingredients. Curry leaves (which I love) are available at the Sri Lankan grocer near me, as is every type of spice. I really recommend the porcini powder you suggested -- it adds so much flavour. I grind my own from the large bag of dried porcini I buy from an Italian-food shop here in Toronto. I love all the dishes you prepare!

All these recipes look delicious! I can't wait to try all of them! 😍

never clicked so fast on a video

I saw this video pop up but my Saturday mornings are so busy...finally after mowing grass I sat outside and watched this video loving life...I'm so excited to try these plus happy to say I purchased your book Nisha!

I have just recently discovered the wholesome and hearty magic of lentils and I can’t WAIT for these recipes!! Thank you Nisha for always reading my mind and showing us the best and most creative yet nutritious recipes!! 🌱❤

I love Indian food. The spices are so good. The onions, garlic and ginger add so much good flavor to the food. Indian food is the best!!!

So far I’ve made each of these recipes this week and I’m astounded! I’m completely hooked on the lentil snack. It almost feels like a cheat code to add it on to another delicious dish. Thanks so much

Thank you, Nisha, you’ve inspired me to try new recipes again! I used to love experimenting, but recently life has been so stressful that I’ve been falling back on the same tried-and-true recipes in constant rotation. Now I want to get cooking again. 😄

These all look fantastic! I really look forward to your new vids, and sometimes binge-watching older ones. Thanks for what you do.

I love lentils. They are satisfying and make one feel so good inside.

Nisha, you can cook the dal in the instant pot for 8 mins rather than stove cooking for 30 mins. Plus you dont need to stir or baby sit it. More time and effort efficient!

Tolerance of heat/spice can be hereditary, but it’s simply a trait that depends on the number of heat receptors in your mouth. Spicy foods contain a chemical called capsaicin, which activates a receptor found in your mouth and on your tongue called a TRPV1 receptor. There is some variation in the sensitivity of these receptors, and even the amount of them, from person to person. Birds lack these completely.

Dal was ALWAYS my favourite food growing up with a Sikh mum, now my mum has sadly passed but I often make a red lentil Dal it's comfort food at its finest. Plus my 5 year old loves it too ❤

I love how you added whole spinach leaves, I am used to chop them fine in paalak daal but now want to try it your way ❤ I’m a new subscriber and loving your modern way of Indian vegetarian cooking, very therapeutic content !

I just made the lentil bolognese last night! It’s a steady part of our cooking rotation. So simple and delicious.
