Daal cooked with milk

In ““marina’s kitchen”” she made this but I missed how much and
when u were supposed to add milk.
Has anyone tried this??

Re: Daal cooked with milk

are you talking about whole red lentils(sabut masoor)...????

if so then i might be able to tell you

Re: Daal cooked with milk

Although it sounds strange ( adding milk to lentils/dahl) but it doesn’t surprise me since traditionally Haleem was cooked in milk.

Re: Daal cooked with milk

Like Afia has mentioned i have heard of adding milk to sabut masoor due to their "baadi" qualities. I don't know i have heard from my fil he always says to add milk when cooking masoor daal.

Re: Daal cooked with milk

I am not sure which daal it was. I was hoping
u guys would tell me. And since two of u think it's masoor,
then it must be.

So how do I make it????

Luxury
haleem was cooked in milk?
Why would they change it then??

Re: Daal cooked with milk

SAJAL....i don't think its something unusual/special ....we just cook the sabut masoor whichever way we like ....like ammi boils the water with spices n adds masoor ...cooks till tender ...n towards the end adds some milk n then 'bighar'

i saute a little onion in oil ...add a bit garlic n spices ...very little tomato n then add water ....bring to boil .....n when tender add milk n then bighar with garlic

the only difference it makes is , its a bit creamy/thick .....oh n why we do add milk ....i dunno if its true ....but its said its a bit harmful for eyes n adding milk is supposed to neutralize/remove the harmful bit .....but it could be a myth ...i don't know ....but i just don't practice otherwise coz myopia runs in our family .....n i'm just scared to challenge this 'myth' :)

Re: Daal cooked with milk

Do you guys make your daal liquidy (so you need another sallan with it) or thick (so you can eat it alone with rice)?
