I’m a French chef and everyday I have to make the food for the staff (approx 30 people) before the service begins. I made this recipe and everyone absolutely loved it despite them not even knowing anything about Indian cuisine, most of the people working here are from the countryside in France. They continue to tell me about it weeks later, thank you chef.
Wonderful.
Dgdddd
Very soothing story chef! Thanks. Love from India 😊❤
Beautiful! Love seeing the joys traditional cooking brings!
Shut up you colonizer
His younger brother is a very wise man, couldn’t agree more with his words of wisdom

The hell is this comment section?

Also, almost every desi mom eating at a restaurant would say: “I can make this cheaper and better at home”.
God bless every mother’s out there, and the ones who aren’t with us anymore, may they rest in heaven

Yes I was just going to say that nothing is better than mom’s handmade dal
Aaaallll of the mums!!! 😂
A Michelin star chef recalling spreading newspaper as a dining table on the floor. Reminds me of my childhood too...every mid class Indians dining table it is. That simplicity has brought people to a higher level.. reminding us every time where we were and where we are now.. To cherish what we have in a kind n humble way. Proud of you chef.
Us too

Truly right....
It is great to be connected to your roots.
And be grateful to what you had and what you have now.
@@captainshankarretd5095 why can't a retired fighter pilot afford a dining table?
No fancy hand gestures or high speed chopping, just a down to earth man reminiscing his childhood. I can tell he truly enjoys his Dal makhani.
Freddy Abraham you are absolutely right
What High speed chopping have to do with down to earth thing?
@@HarshaSarmaME- exactly
High speed chopping isn’t a bad thing?
ooh cutting fast is now considered fancy hand gestures??
Theres a a Michellin star mum in every South Asian household.
Very true!
if only they could be internationally famous
Right bro
Cooking edli dosa won't make you Michelin star.
Not just South Asia. Everywhere. Mums rule!
I am Polish and I making Dal the same way and my Indian husband who comes from Amritsar loves it! :-)
My husband is polish,, he love my French /Indian food. ❤
'Daal' should 'always' be creamy in texture... any lentil. One must make it a bit mushy to get the 'comfort food' feel out of it. Otherwise, there's no point in all the effort.
@RonBhattacharya Her husband likes it. She has learnt a new cuisine to show her love. And here comes Ron, the Dhal police, to tell her there's no point? Go suck some dhal Ron.
Lovely dish
I would use a healthier oil, not canola or vegetable oil. Use Ghee, after all, that’s Indian clarified butter.

@@rajghosh217 more like, "speak for yourself"?
@@rajghosh217 I also know bit of hindi since i lived for 2 years in Jamshedpur in childhood where my father was working as a foreign employee
@@rajghosh217 I talking for myself what is your problem
leaving this here for when I want to make this recipe later:
slice like half a thing of ginger (leave skin on)
1 thin green chili (stalk removed, cut in half)
add abt 1/2 a cup of red kidney beans
to a pot
add a couple of cups of black lentils
add some water to pot (at least 1 in above lentils)
add in ginger & chili and a pinch of salt
let it cook for at least 90 minutes
in a separate pan, add oil
add in about 1t of whole cumin
add 1 small chopped onion
add in spice: 2t coriander powder, 1t red chili powder,
add 1 diced tomato
after tomatoes start to disintegrate, begin adding spoonfuls of cooked lentil into pan (don't drain)
cook in pan for 30 to 45 mins
lower heat & add about 1/2 a stick of butter (cubed), 200 mL of cream, 1t of garam masala, 1t of ground fenugreek leaves
Elena Torres-Pepito thanks
Thank you, and that is a medium onion for me.
The kidney beans and lentil were pre soaked all night
Thanks. Because I couldn't follow it as he was talking.
The black lentils are called "whole urad daal" if you go to an indian store. Thanks for writing it out!
I made my own version of dal when I had no money.
Kept me alive.
Because daal is life.
@@jol9178 I agree. 100%
It's the major vegetarian source of Protein
Once, I was locked in due to riots in the neighbourhood, and I cooked dal out of mung beans, tumeric and mustard seeds. It was still _somehow_ eligible as dal. Go figure.
@@onigireee Possibly..... But well done! 🤗👍
Reminds me of my best mate from my youth (an Indian guy) his mum made the best food, they are both dead now, miss them dearly. This bring it back.
@Ophiophagus Hannah How did both die, how is that possible.
@@Vishal-hb4lk accident maybe?
May their souls rest in peace

I love watching Atul. He’s so honest and down to earth. He holds a Michelin star and refers to himself as a cook. Many lesser others call themselves chef. Love him. ❤
Just perfect😊from a Scottish Granny, who has a new friend teaching her Indian recipes, it’s a whole new world of spices and flavour
*Wish you all the best with your cooking*
Try North East Indian cooking too. The spices are mostly fresh (Rest of India uses powdered spices) and the way of cooking is a bit different. It's a very diverse area with loads of different cuisines like, Assamese, Naga, Mizo, Manipuri among others.
@@LUFFY09789 Stop talking about "rest of india" in a condescending tone.
@@vivs005 what? how was that condescending?
Enjoy the adventure🙂
Glad to see a Michelin star chef spills as much water as me when pouring from a jug.
They do it purposely to make you believe that they are human...
I have the same shitty measuring cup and was relieved I didn't just have a defective one, they're all terrible!
@@Sergio8191994 Same here! Despite the pour spout, it is only capable of dump and dribble.
Dude😂😂😂
Take he advice of a physics graduate: It depends on the pouring angle. ;)
Tears rolled down my eyes when Chef Atul spoke about his mom. I miss my mom's cooking - the way she made warm roti, kheer (rice pudding), paranthas, bhindi (okra/lady finger) and so many more. The list is too long to write here)
If ever this man reads the comments section to his video, he will die the happiest man on earth, I love how nice and wholesome people are being here, to the food and to him!
yeah surprisingly wholesome, i thought the comments were gonna be like "take a shot everytime he says mum"
@@Sg-tb7uu We don't make fun of someone being Mumma's boy cz in India ,every guy is Mumma's boy .

Absolutely correct.
I made this today and it was out of this world!!! My husband lived in Pune and loves Indian food. He tasted it before I served and he came straight to the living room to rave about how amazing it was. Thank you so much chef!
He's not sharing food. This man had a wholesome childhood, he's sharing that! I love it!
Peeling ginger is OPTIONAL?! He hasn't even started cooking yet, and already greatly improved my life - thank you!
Because it was going in the water with the lentils ... I think
As with any produce that you leave the peel on or skin on, you should make sure that it wasn't sprayed with chemicals.
you should wash/scrub ginger if you aren't gonna peel it, which is why i usually just peel it anyways lol
@@justinhertzberg2431 same
Optional is only in that kind of dishes others u shud have it coz ginger plus garlic if my most important thing in my life as a chef
He seems so polished and Kind. England is lucky to have him.

@@debs7739 he's indian dude
True but sadly, if he were in India he wouldn't have gotten the recognition. Give thanks to the U.K. for allowing him the opportunity to be exposed to the world.
@@adhisharavind6393 This chef was in Arab for few months too, I mean who turns down Arab money?
@@ranjanbiswas3233 its not all about money
There is something very humble and relaxed in his way of cooking. This makes the video even more enjoyable.
I eat dhal very often and I am an American. It is so cheap and easy to make. I could probably eat it every day, I am so in love with it. I don't add dairy and love it just the same.
We don't add diary. U can add vegetables, chickpeas
Dairy is not needed at all. thought it was kind of weird he added it. coconut milk (full fat) might be a nice touch though
@@cecegirl4327 Dal makhani is a rich dish for special occasions with expensive ingredients like butter and cream. Indians do not add those in everyday cooking, and no one adds coconut milk in dal in India. Coconut milk is specifically a South Indian ingredient and used for vegetables curries & stews in the state of Kerala.
@@globalcitizenn Coconut milk would just be a good alternative for a fatty cream is what I meant (: since I do not advocate for usage of dairy!
The recipe based on what I understood :)
INGREDIENTS
2 inches fresh ginger
1 thin green chili
1/2 cup red kidney beans (pre-soaked or canned)
2 cups pre-soaked black lentils
Pinch of salt
About 1/2 cup cooking oil
1 tsp whole cumin
1 small onion
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tomato
1/2 stick butter
200 mL single cream
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground fenugreek leaves
DIRECTIONS
1. Cook the lentils
Set a pot at medium high heat. Add the kidney beans and lentils then cover with water until water is an inch above the lentils. Slice the ginger, leaving the skin on. Remove the stalk of the chili, cut the chili in half, and add both it and the ginger into the lentils. Add a pinch of salt. Leave it to simmer with the lid off for at least 90 minutes.
2. Make the masala
Dice the tomato and chop the onion. In a separate pan, heat oil until just below the smoking point. Add cumin and let sizzle for just a moment. Add onion and stir. Add coriander powder and chili powder, followed quickly by the tomato. Stir frequently.
3. Combine
After the tomatoes start to disintegrate, begin adding spoonfuls of cooked lentil with their liquid into the masala pan. Let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Then lower the heat and add the butter, cream, garam masala, and ground fenugreek leaves. Stir then serve with naan.
Thank you!
You can eat it with chapati, rice, pulao or jeera rice. I prefer it with chapati or boiled rice as it let me feel or taste all the spices inside dal makhni. I would suggest eat spicy gravy either with plain rice or plain chapati without butter or ghee.
Any idea what this means in British English?
@@broomybank what? it is in english
I *love* the fact that you used "inches" of ginger haha
This made me so happy. His genuine appreciation and gratitude towards his humble childhood is so refreshing. This attitude is exactly what we are lacking right now in this world.
humility is fertility!
Well said
@Shivan Anirudhra also being untrustworthy and conniving.
You can tell his humility by the way he refers to himself as a "cook" rather than a "chef". It's a small thing, but it says much :)
thobaaa yeh I like him too - v nice guy!
He is so peaceful and calm
We are so lucky to have Atul here in the U.K , he is an incredible chef . The way he understands spices is unbelievable
Every Indian mother is his sons Michelin star chef in India !!
I'm only 1/2 Indian but I can vouch for this🤣👍
Aw, so sweet. God bless you.
*her son's not his son
So basically every indian mom is a “she male”?
Lol you are sexist
this man could legitly host a cooking show.
He doesn’t have his own show but he guests on a lot of cooking shows here in the UK such as Saturday Kitchen , Masterchef etc etc
Trap Trap : Oh snaps - why are you so angry?
Trap Trap : You should start wearing adult diapers if you have a problem with self control. Besides that, you cannot do anything soy-boy!
Totally agree with you. Insanely educational, No Nonsense, no time wasted watching him chop up onions Etc
Larry Goodwin vikas khanna and sanjeev kapoor are two great indian chefs
Dear Atul Kochar, your stories about the dal of your childhood made me teary-eyed. Thank you for sharing your mom's recipe with us. Now the world is one recipe richer. Love, M.
My wife cooked this for us. It was really good!!! Have to give it 8/10! (This comes from a Mexican native)!
Indian and Thai.....the best in the world.
Words of a Frenchman
Myanmar is just as good if not better. Its a blend of both worlds
Agree👍🏼
Fench food tastes yummy too!
@@shraddhanayak4460 @ French food is pedantic, arrogant and doesn’t taste near as good as Indian or Thaï
@@Bruno-tm3xo Who's being pedantic and arrogant now?
Just made this and it was the best dal I ever had! Used two cups dry lentils, half cup dry kidneys, one onion, 3 romas, lots of ginger, two chilis, 2 tbsp each of cumin seed and ground coriander, salt, 2 tsp of chili powder, 1 tsp each time f fenugreek and garam masala and 1 cup coconut milk and left out the butter (to make it vegan).
What kind of lentil did you use? I can't recall ever seeing black lentil as in this video.
Thank you so much for your feedback by the way!
@@farahhassan4754 In India we use black gram. You can also add 2-3 tbsp of bengal gram along with the black gram and kidney beans.
I would like to know about the lentils where can I get this what lentil he used like black one in colour I think
Food Recipes Asrar Vaiyanna this is whole mung bean. You can get it at any Indian grocery store or order it online
I love Indian food, all the spices and flavor is just delicious!!!! I would love to have a taste of that Dahl ..... Yummy!
Quite late. But if you visit India, the North, you will get this dal, lentil dish. Almost every home cooks it. Who knows family might invite you over, if you are lucky!!
Visit India u wil get such a huge variety of it..
I spent a couple weeks last month traveling around the area of Uttar Pradesh and some towns just outside. It's not quite where Atul is from but almost every dinner included Dal. Everything we ate was delicious, and whoever was serving us was always so attentive to making sure we'd eaten as much as we wanted. Impeccable service from the Indian people, in the restaurant and in the home. I have been cooking since I was a kid, but have almost no familiarity with Indian cuisine and have until recently been too intimidated to do anything other than enjoy it in the restaurant. Though now with some context from the country I feel ready to learn the foundational aspects.
Sure!, how's it going?
Atul is from Eastern India..he belongs to Jamshedpur, an industrial town.
when he said news paper on the floor .....i looked in his eyes and i can say that he is missing those days badly...
I am Australian and dal is one of my all-time favorite dishes! How could it not be when there is an Indian restaurant on almost every street corner? Many thanks for this recipe, I am going to try it this week!
And.... How did it turn out.?
This is not the true recipe of dal makhani
Well is because dal is a very basic dish, like probably made in 9 out 10 house.
But in restaurants you usually find food which can not be cooked at home.
I love the culture and food of India. Greetings from a Norwegian so enthralled by the food of Eastern Asia ( particularly India, Thailand and Japan);and Western Asia ( the food of Lebanon, Syria and Iran). Those gastronomies make the French and Italians pale.
I had this at an Indian restaurant in my home town, and it was my favorite dish. Now I can make it myself! Thanks Chef!
Daal when made properly is one of the best Southern Asian dish. I swear people who complain about Daal have no taste.
Too basic bro. I like daal but there are millions of better dishes I would give up daal for.
majinraptor innit bro daal is just a pile of sloppy shit me and you think alike fuck daal and all its supporters like this traitor Ahmed here am I right my guy
@@willhalls5451 ROTFFLMAO you're comment is hilarious but I think you have a problem with Islam/Muslims?
@@majinraptor then u aint making dal right man. It can be immensely flavourful and comforting.
@@MG-uz5mr I enjoy meat bro. I would choose a meat based curry over dal anyday. Not saying dal is bad by any means. I just have my own preferences when it comes to picking a curry to go with my rice
Daal looks delicious. However, I find the message that the chef gives about not having much as a child yet it seemed enough for a happy life so touching. Great video for many reasons.
Wholesome video!
@@MG-uz5mr I love your screen name ☺️👍👏👏👏
He seems like such a nice and professional guy. And he obviously cares a great deal about showing us how to do it properly. Especially compared to many TV chefs, where you don’t even have time to see what they add or anything.
As a poor college student I made this dish and HOLY. Making the lentils and beans with ginger is so crazy good, i could it eat it them just like that tbh. The finished recipe is god tier, thanks for sharing!
Yup dal is love
He's such a charming man, I wish he had his own cooking show that I could watch!
Look up "Easy cook with Atul Kochhar" on youtube. The Channel B4U Foods features him cooking many yummy dishes.
Atul has many cooking sketches stretching decades on CZcams.. search

It was a breezy ride of knowledge and childhood. Why isn't our education system like this, learning would be so easy and fun
Even a Michelin star chef knows mom's approval is vital. And they also know mom's version is always better.
I tear up when he told about sitting together above newspaper as a dinner table. Coming form humble beginning he achieved so much.
Every dish taste good when you eat with your family.
I agree with what he said" We had little but we had enough " Glad to see him acknowledging his roots because it's rare to see power and money not changing a person

@@rishikeshdesai3154 Yes
Dal, rice, sol kadhi and fried bangda.
No salt in that dal...give your Michelin star to every indian mother. Becoz they all know the right amount of salt that goes in...
Those who haven't tasted it do not know how incredible it tastes. I am salivating crazily just looking at it because I know what it tastes like. Oh my my my.
Wow what a down to earth gentleman. At his celebrity level, people hide their childhood financial crisis under the carpet. Here is our man happily sharing good and bad with grace beaming with beautiful memories (being a child with parents no matter how rich or poor) of childhood.
I love every word that comes out of this man's mouth. He's filled with warmth, kindness, and passion, and I dont think we take enough time to appreciate the rarity of such a beautiful spirit. I know it's a cliche, but he is the embodiment of, "If only we had more people like him in this world..."
Neither
Haha… you should read up more about him and why he was forced out of his restaurant…. Sorry to burst your bubble
Oof. What he said on twitter is nuts.
A humble man,down to earth. Made me smile throughout the video.
This dish is amazing, after toying around with making this for the longest time I finally did it. 10/10 would recommend trying to make, I can't see how you could go wrong unless you forget your cooking it and leave the pot on for too long.
One tip - the taste and creaminess in dal makhni is mostly about how well the starch is cooked. It has resistant starch and trust me, your dal will always taste good as long as starch is well cooked. That’s why he said 90 mins.
The best restaurants in Punjab cook it for 12 hrs overnight….no added cream…healthy and naturally creamy…
Indian cuisine is my favorite. I tried this recipe immediatly after watching the video, and it's definetly the best dal I've ever eaten. Thank you Chef for this wonderful recipe!
My favorite cuisine is Italian, Finnish and Japanese
Love recipes likes this! So many comfort foods are meat based and people try to find ways to substitute the meat in the dish to make it "healthy" but it's just not as satisfying. A vegetarian dish that's already a rich comfort food without any compromise is perfect to demonstrate how vegetable dishes can be full flavored on their own.
Came across this channel for the first time. Absolutely love the way you cooked your dal makhni. Being from the same place, I can certainly tell you that you must have gone through a tough time before reaching the peak. Absolutely inspiring.
With love and respect for your mom,

I had Dal with my brother in the streeets of Delhi 50 years ago. It could not have been this complicated? But tasty is is.
As a Burman living in Canada now, this is so wonderful to see. Some of my most precious memories are of my Mom, Aunts and Grandmas cooking whilst I tried to help.
Best wishes... I lived in Manchester and London as well...indian dal makhni, Pakistani biryani and of course Bengali food helped me to settle in easily...thanks to UKs rich culture and multiethnicity I have tasted dishes of 45 countries...bless you all...bless all moms
You can be the best chef in the world but remember that your mom is the greatest.
Absolutely fantastic!! Loved the man's simplicity in cooking and ofcourse how he draws inspiration from his mum and tries to stay connected to his roots.

just like spag bol. everyone has a recipe. Some are a whole lot better than others

"Whatever little we had was enough to enjoy life and be with each other." A heartfelt meal and words.

For all those speculating wether it is Vineet Bhatia or Atul Kochar ,the first Indian chef to win a Michelin star ...
Both the chefs have won the accolade in the year 2001 .
Atul kochar won the Michelin star as a chef ,while Vineet Bhatia won it for his restaurant.
So the first "chef" to win it was Atul kochar,and the first Indian chef who's restaurant won it is Vineet Bhatia! Off course more research can prove me wrong cause the resources to study about Indian chefs are very scarse .
Hope this ends the debate.
Happy new year y'all.
A chef never wins a star, it’s always awarded the restaurant. Atul kochhar happened to win it in his flagship restaurant.
@@nishchaysrivastava6251 chefs do get mentioned in the guide ,which is counted as a star !!!
Not saying this out of thin air , as a hospitality industry student I've done my research 😊
The Modernday Moonwalker but officially they don’t get it right, I believe you but I thought differently
@@nishchaysrivastava6251 well I don't blame you either,like I mentioned above the resources to study about Indian chefs and their achievements are very few and those widely available aren't quite trustworthy ! Of course things are changing now but for the veteran chefs it's tough to track down .
The Modernday Moonwalker hey thanks dude I was wondering the same.
Yeah, congratulations to the chef! And it feels great that such a humble dish yet it cannot be ignored anymore.
Love the way he talks about family.....and food. It is the same for us whose parents were born in Indonesia but immigrated to the Netherlands.
That was beautiful. There is no better privilege than having good parents.
The dal looks exactly like my mom would cook. I know she is a michellin star chef. Every South Asian mom is. :)
:) ❤️
Thank you, I am in the U.S and this made me emotional. My mother used to make it. I just spoke to her and told her to make this for me when I come to visit. It's has been 3 years now. I miss my family. It made the video special when you spread the Newspaper as a dining table. it brought back old memories.
All those chefs are artists. Understanding ingredients and being able to cook such meals is magic.
More than the food preparation I enjoyed listening to you speak about your family
I agree. That was special wasn't it?
I agree too!
me too. And I like that this dish which he chose to spotlight is a dish he learned to cook with his mother - not at some fancy culinary arts academy!
I love the way he talks about his family specially his mom. I'm going to get some black dal now.
Such a wonderful humble human. I'm proud to share our common Indian heritage with you.
I must view this video once a month to remind myself the process of this dish and in my own way revisit my virtual friend who is the chef. He has a humble and joyous way about him that anyone would befriend.
His humility and great love and respect for her mom and the rest of her family is what makes this man great. Cooking is secondary.
I’d rather eat on the floor off a newspaper with people i love than in a grand, sterile dining room with family members i can barely tolerate.
Agree........
ofcourse!!
ok
What’s your problem?
What ever he said about isl*m was right.
Amen!
Of course, she said that.
GREAT JOB.. THANK YOU.
Wow, what an amazingly inspiring and down-to-earth bloke, Im so gonna make this soon.
This is the most perfect recipe! Making it for the second time in 2 weeks. Hello from Texas USA!
Where can I get the written recipe for this?
@@blissfulhumanoid9536 2 inches fresh ginger
1 thin green chili ( I use a Serrano in the US)
1/2 cup red kidney beans (I used canned)
2 cups pre-soaked black lentils (I always use UNSOAKED whole red lentils, cook time 15-20 min)
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 tsp whole cumin seeds
1 small onion
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red (Indian not American) chilli powder
15 cherry tomatoes or 2-3 small tomatoes
1/2 to 1/4 stick butter
200ml single cream (I use only 1/4 to 1/2 cup)
1 tsp garam masala
a pinch of ground fenugreek leaves (I use a very tiny amount)
salt
**the fenugreek and Indian red chili powder you can probably get on Amazon but if you live in a city find the nearest Indo-Pak or Indian grocery store, that's where I get mine🖤DON'T use American chili powder if you can help it b/c it normally has oregano in it
Thank you so much!
I have a couple more questions. I noticed in the video that he had a lemon and some garlic on a tray. Did you use these ingredients as well? And, doe’s this meal generally turn out quite spicy? I can’t really eat foods that are way too spicy just mild. Thanks.
@@blissfulhumanoid9536 NO lemon, NO garlic for this recipe :) And you can leave out the Serrano pepper and it will taste just as amazing! (I have done it when I forgot to buy one) Make sure you SALT the lentil water and slice your fresh ginger so the lentils will soak up all the ginger flavor while cooking. Taste the water you boil the lentils in to make sure it is salted enough. I generally add ZERO salt in the tomato onion masala step because I have already salted the lentils while cooking them. And use red lentils, in my opinion its easier and tastes delicious. (Also, it's difficult to find black lentils in regular grocery stores)
Certainly Indian food is a blessings to humanity! 😉
@Adam A. He added all that to make it look better. For Indian cooking, you needn't go overboard with the fats and the spices. It's all up to preference. As opposed to popular belief, Indian food isn't only "spicy" and "fatty". It is one of the healthiest cuisines in the world.
@Adam A. This is not a regular everyday dal as far as I know.
blessing yes, but not for your stomach
@frogthis
If the burgers and fries are baked or put in air fryer. They are healthy.
@Adam A. it most certainly is a LOT better than burgers and fries! I know some Indian dishes especially served by restaurants can be insanely fatty and creamy, but with this dish you have so many nutrients from the legumes and masala, the fats can be adjusted for healthier oils and you can live very well living off of Dal makhani. Nothing like shitty fast food in so many ways, it's of course low glycemic too.
It made me smile to hear the love for family this fellow has.
It is a truly satisfaction leve when come across some experienced chef like him with lots of experience and some white hairs on forehead which proves the ages he has spent to learn what he is teaching us.
I love this segment. Thanks for introducing us to Atul Kochhar, and this lovely recipe. Cheers from Vancouver Canada and hope everyone is staying safe. -G
What a pleasant experience that was. Thank you Chef for being a good teacher, without any histrionics, shouting , swearing, etc., that so bedevils certain other, so called ' celebrity ',( not my word ), chefs.
We never tried Dahl with cream, butter AND fenugreek! Definitely giving this a go, thank you SO MUCH!
This is the best dish I‘ve ever made. Life changing. Thank you!
