This recipe was perfect and so much easier than our usual stovetop method where we have to precook the beans. I will be sticking with this one. It also has a nicer richness. I didn’t even soak the beans I just cooked it for extra time.
I wanted to make a dish that my partner would love from his cultural cuisine, and this turned out great. He loves it! Thanks so much for the recipe 🙂
Hi Kalina,
Thanks and that’s wonderful to hear!
Happy Cooking!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on indian recipe video.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I
know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
This dish tastes amazing!! The perfect fall or winter dish… I agree cooking it uncovered for an hour is the perfect final touch!
Thanks so much for the recipe ladies, I hope you will post more slow cooker recipes
Try lean meat, fish, and dried beans, peas, and lentils.
Imaging: Some call it meditation, others call it prayer, I think of it as a cross between the two.
These are all aimed to lower the glucose level in the blood, which
caused the diabetic amyotrophy.
You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation however I in finding this matter to be really something that I believe I would never
understand. It seems too complicated and very extensive for me.
I am having a look forward to your subsequent put up, I will try
to get the hang of it!
Hello! I really enjoy watching the videos because whenever I made indian dishes in the past, I couldn’t tell if I was following the directions correctly. For instance, how long to cook mustard seeds. Regarding this recipe, I have a bigger crock pot (I think 8 quarts?), would that change the cooking time or tempature? Also, I work during the day. Would cooking it on high for 5 hours and then leaving it at “warm” for the remaining 3 hours and then cooking it an additional hour, uncovered, once i get home, terribly change the recipe??
