Michelin Star Indian Chef Reveals How To Make The Perfect Dal | My Greatest Dishes

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.

His younger brother is a very wise man, couldn’t agree more with his words of wisdom

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 <3

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.

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.

I made my own version of dal when I had no money. Kept me alive.

I am Polish and I making Dal the same way and my Indian husband who comes from Amritsar loves it! :-)

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.

Theres a a Michellin star mum in every South Asian household.

I from Russia 🇷🇺 it best friend of India 🇮🇳 since a long time long live friendship P.S. Sorry for poor English

He is so peaceful and calm

Glad to see a Michelin star chef spills as much water as me when pouring from a jug.

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

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!

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. ❤

This is the most wholesome comments section I've ever visited.

He seems so polished and Kind. England is lucky to have him.

There is something very humble and relaxed in his way of cooking. This makes the video even more enjoyable.

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)
