Making Dahl Today - LIVE

Making Dahl 5 pm on TikTok and Instagram
Today at 5 pm Pacific, I’m making one of my favorite comforting meals: a big pot of Dahl — creamy, spiced red lentils that are simple, nourishing, and perfect for cooler days or weeknights when you want something soothing but satisfying.
Find me live on either TikTok where I am @drterrysimpson and on Instagram where I am @drterrysimpsonmd.
This isn’t just any lentil dish. It’s inspired by the Quick & Easy Dāl (Red Lentil) from a recipe I’ve been loving lately — a dish that’s Mediterranean diet–friendly, GLP-1 friendly, plant-forward, and quietly powerful in the nutrition department. You can add meat if you wish, but no need.
And it is live - which means anything can happen. We could lose power, the dog could drink loudly, and I will try to answer questions with the help of my producer. But this is such an easy recipe, I doubt we can screw it up.
Oh, yes, there are many ways to spell it and pronounce Daahl.
Lentils are a nutritional powerhouse — rich in fiber, plant protein, and complex carbs that keep you full and energized. They pair beautifully with aromatics like garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cumin — spices that add warmth and depth without heaviness.
I’ll be cooking this live on camera today at 5 pm Pacific, and I’d love you to cook along with me! If you want the full ingredient list and step-by-step directions ahead of time (so you can prep and follow in real time), check out the paid section below.
