[@FoodwithChetna]

My pleasure 😊

[@Wolyboly24]

I can’t help but laugh when Chetna says “you’re wasting shallots!” 😂 I love her!!! 🧡🤍💚

[@FoodwithChetna]

Absolutely why waste good stuff!

[@lindahunt4344]

This Indian lady is the best I love her cooking

[@andyfairchild2383]

Thanks Chetna. I got the book last week, so much I want to cook from it, including this Chole. I made the chicken wings last week… so good! So thanks again both.

[@UNIONFEATURES]

My favourite cooking channel.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Wow, thanks a lot

[@SiddhisvariBulloch]

This sounds delicious with so many spices. Like the title of the book too. X

[@FoodwithChetna]

It's so good!

[@rrrrr5102006]

Thank you for the recipe.I love watching your recipes. What's the "Balti" element in this? I've heard of Balti Chicken once but never a recipe. I understand its a UK thing but doesn't seem to exist here in USA.

[@bluebloodedsumo]

Don't worry, that was NOT a genuine balti !! Even the way he pronounced it was WRONG

[@sylviapage8572]

Just watched Saturday Kitchen and remembered I hadn’t seen this recipe yet. I don’t have the shallots but have everything else and red and white onions so may just go with those and dinner is sorted. I’m ordering his book 😋. Thanks for sharing.

[@juliebembiri]

hi Chetna maam! like you im used to punjabi chole cooked differently. but i cant wait to make this for my pati ji.we both love your recipes.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@dreamteamleader9098]

I love your recipes! Last week I made your Falafel and coriander mint chutney with the mini samosas! Other recipes as well but last night I made that snack, baked Pita with the leftover coriander and mint chutney, and hummus and it was delicious! Excited to try this one.❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

Wonderful!

[@Isham246]

Ooh this looks so good. Must make it.

[@misstrekfreak]

Fabulous Chetna, thank you 🙏🏻

[@FoodwithChetna]

Glad you liked it

[@senoradelvita]

Looks really tasty.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you 😋

[@karentaylor2160]

I will try this, thanks to you both!

[@selinakiran6905]

Hi Chetna, what exactly does tamarind add to the dish? Is there a suitable substitute if there is non to hand? Google search is saying lemon or lime juice ..... If this is a good sub, what quantity would you suggest of lemon/lime will bring a similar result please....TIA

[@logicalindian8229]

Tamarind is a sour tasting fruit. So yes, if you don’t have on hand you can add lemon. But tamarind has a very sticky texture just like dates or prunes.

[@gulshadayub7119]

I love you Chetna🎉🎉

[@FoodwithChetna]

Awwww thanks!

[@sooraiyahnilamber5623]

Will try to be bold too with the star Anise- smth i don't use enough.....enjoyable video, watched with my son who picked up on the few indian words too

[@pavithren]

❤! I will be adding to my cooking list!

[@davidtaylor2608]

You two are so cute together!!

[@drlessismore]

That’s ALOT OF SPICES 😵‍💫

[@Lucy-fd6qz]

❤ 😊

[@shannyali7758]

Helloooo Chetna that looks delicious 😋😅 thank you for sharing that ❤😅

[@sooraiyahnilamber5623]

❤

[@rikkimontero]

Sounds like a tasty adventure for your tastebuds!

[@FoodwithChetna]

absolutely

[@IvanIV05]

That was my thought, too, "Put all those shallots IN!" 🤣I can't stand it, if somebody wastes even a bit of prepared ingredients. BTW isn't the star anise too overpowering? That's not my usual flavour so I'll go easy on it.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Haha

[@happyhindu30]

I feel ashamed that I had missed this legend in Leicester. * What would you accompany this dish? puri, bhattura, roti?

[@user-yv2qr4xt9]

He's been in London for years now.

[@wajt8966]

Asafoetida “counters the effects of chickpeas”? 😂

[@vicentacastillo363]

🧶❤️👏👏👏😍🥰👍😘

[@ivanwoodhouse1958]

I wish you’d spend more time spelling out the more unusual and exotic slices like the driven mango spice. I can’t catch the name you give it so I’m not able to source it. There are other slices you’ve mentioned I this video which I can’t catch . So please consider the uninitiated idiots like myself. One other issue that I have is how casual you are with quantities of the ingredients the number of teaspoons, when mentioned, don’t ever seem to match the number of teaspoons measures you actually use. I love the videos and watch them all but these issues get to me - sorry

[@FoodwithChetna]

When I do my own videos I am very specific with quantities but when I have guest cooks then it is not possible to control how they cook! anyways if you had taken a moment to check out the description then you would have noticed that I listed all the ingredients there!!!!

[@ivanwoodhouse1958]

meant spices not slices 🙂

[@NinaAnthonijsz]

This is way too much sugar in the dish for my taste.

[@FoodwithChetna]

you can add less

[@geraldfinn436]

OMG! My transplant kidney is recoiling at all that tomato paste. Is there any alternative to this? Arrgh! More tomato on top of that?

[@colleencarvalho4970]

Chetana, I think you excelled in the Great British Bake Off, baking is your forte and you should stick to Bakery recipes, nor authentic Indian recipes

[@anniepersaud4862]

He is not good

[@FoodwithChetna]

That is very harsh and totally unnecessary!
