Enjoyed the video Chamari, and I will try it tonight. Also enjoyed the Sri Lankan style commentary, nice and easy to follow and reminded me a lot of how my mum used to try and teach us boys to cook!!!
Thank You. I have book marked your site, and will pass this on to my three daughters, who I wish my mum was alive to teach, but your site will be a huge help. . . .thank you

2011-04-29T09:03:30.788+03:00

"Dhal" : I've never understood why, In Sri Lanka, dhal is thought to be the English word for parippu. Heck, it's even taught so in schools, and pretty much all Sri Lankans think this is the English translation when it's an Indian word. In English speaking countries, they do not think of "dhal" as an English world at all. When the word is used in countries with large Indian populations like the U.K., it is thought of, very accurately, as the Indian word for lentils. In other English speaking countries like the U.S. the word is pretty much unknown. The English term for parippu is "red lentils". What's more, Indians also know that "dhal" is not an English word, but their own. They do not use it as the English translation for lentils. I say, time to give up this mis-translated word and either stick to "parippu" even in English usage or use "red lentils."

Hello Akka,
I happened to watch this quite accidentally. I love your recipe. I tried dhal curry several times but it didn't really work. Besides I have to use coconut powder since I am living abroad and I thought that could be the reason for not having the original taste. But this video of yours tempts me to try again. My husband would love it.Thanx a lot. By the way, upload more recipes, I'd love to learn more. keep up the good work

Curry definitely looks nice. But i really lost mt patience to listen to her. Very boring and very slow. And the baby screaming at the back ground was annoying too.

2011-01-03T03:58:10.762+02:00

p.s. Oh forgot to say above, to keep it authentic, I used organic extra virgin coconut oil, and used the curry powder I had on hand, which I had made from the book, Indra Jayasekera's A Taste of Sri Lanka several months back.

2011-01-03T03:49:19.982+02:00

I made this today and loved it! So did my American hubby who ate his with two eggs fried hard, crispy bacon and toasted English muffins. I downed mine with Trader Joe's organic multigrain bread (toasted dark brown) which is the best vegan bread there is. Our little putha, who just happens to have four legs and barks, who loves all things Sri Lankan and spicy on account of being half Sri Lankan, ate his the same way I did. For him, I cut the toasted bread into bite sized pieces and put a mound of parippu on each piece. Oh, I always cook parippu to a very thick consistency, so I was able to mound it like that. I didn't have curry leaves on hand, so for anyone else who doesn't either, it's quite delicious even without the curry leaves, although some curry leaves would definitely make it even better. Adding this to my repertoire of parippu recipes. Thank you Chamari.

@Anonymous: Serving size is nearly 3 - 4 people.

@Tha: My mother used to measure 1cup = 1tea cup, but I really don´t know whether it´s correct. But 1cup lentils = 190g lentils.
Also earlier what I did was, if I used some kind of a cup to measure something in a recipe, I used the same cup for the whole recipe to measure everything, and it worked for me :-), you also can try it too :-).
All the best with the recipe.

And thank you all your comments & encouragement :-)
