Chef Atul's Curried Mixed Vegetables

This is not for the fainthearted! This very simple curry made with frozen mixed vegetables is typical of food from Kolhapur, in the south western state of Maharashtra, in that it is very hot and spicy. I usually serve this with parathas.
Normally the spices are toasted over a high heat to activate their natural oils and make them aromatic. Here and in other recipes that contain desiccated coconut I've specified to use a low heat. Always be careful to stir constantly and watch closely so the coconut does not burn.

Finally a chef who chefs and not celebretises. This is what the food channel was about before introducing all those ridiculous contests.

[@hellobooom]

At least the food channel still has food unlike history on the history channel.

[@TariqKhan-np2wx]

he is a celebrity chef. He does appear as a guest on lots of cookery programs.

[@maryamhamid6003]

True

[@healthmintraa4320]

AGREED AND MOST CHOICES OF ALL...

[@bidyakishorsingh4628]

He has michelen star

[@bobbyzahabi6349]

Nice! Not just this dish, I just love your cooking. I learned cooking from my mom (growing up in Iran) and love your style. Your use of spices makes sense (and good taste!). Thank you for not making it more complicated than it needs to be... I appreciate your time, thank you!

[@ZubairKhan-vs8fe]

Atul gives off such a good energy. A very centred happy human who is content

[@sarahs7751]

I already know this is gonna be better than salt pepper and butter

[@amvkarthik]

Agreed. But did he add salt?

[@BalrajSingh-gg3qm]

Like your cooking style. There is something honest and sincere about it. Will give this curry a try.

[@Mallick7]

That’s a tasty veg dish. Even children like it when I use very little chills. Thank you very much.

[@maheshchaube2456]

I think he has gone slow on the chillies that's y it looks less red , also the curd was to balance the spice , normal veg kolapuri can launch a gora in space without jet engines

[@kevcas2268]

I wouldn't generalise after watching few poms showing good resistance to very pungent food then the desis. I guess it all depends on the constitution.

[@chinmaydeshmukh9776]

So true.

[@healthmintraa4320]

Totally disagree..the color of the chilly comes from colored chilly used...and second being from kolhapur..veg kolhapuri is nothing but just a overtired recipe.... The spice associated with the city is never what I ate at home... As I am kolhapuri who cant eat too much spice...🤣🤣🤣

[@avijitkumar3293]

I like your presentation.

[@ambujaprathap]

Easy to cook this recipe. Thanks sir.

Chef Atul l was also born in Jamshedpur. Galmori to be exact. My daddy worked at Telco. My daddy died in India. My 2nd mother was a lady Doctor called Dr Lily Israel, she deliveted me at our local hospital in 1946. We left India in 1963. Have enjoyed seeing your video on U TUBE.

@Dorito World- Hi, fellow jamshedpurian here.....yes, the place you are talking about is GOLMURI.....and it still exists here in jamshedpur. I live and reside in this city and i work as a junior engineer in TATA STEEL, formerly known as TISCO. And just to let you know, TELCO as you have known it, still exists and is now known as TATA MOTORS. It is ranked 265th in the fortune 500 list of global conglomerates with an equity of more than 42 billion $ and is now one of the largest automobile manufacturers of india. It is the same company that has currently owned the ownership rights for JAGUAR AND LAND ROVERS.

Not sure why the videography is so bad, focusing on the chef and not the actual food and spices more close up !!

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

How true. The camera rarely shows what is going on the pan which is most helpful.

[@schreiberinjen]

I agree. The cooking should've featured more instead of the chef.

[@sun2089]

[@rockyghost7689]

Since he was deported from Dubai for some sensitive comments in FB .that's why

[@kimmcvitty3580]

Is the onion paste just well fried onions that have been pureed? Thank you.

[@powershaktimaan]

No the onion paste normally is supposed to be raw onions made into a paste, which gets fried in the pan

[@nareshgb1]

I would tend to say fried onions that have been pureed. I have found that grinding raw onions and frying them UTTERLY DESTORYS the taste - its a really strong yucky bitter taste. Complete waste of time.

[@nareshgb1]

Also, traditionally, the Maharashtrian recipes (Kolhapur is in Maharashtra) use onions, garlic, ginger, green chilly and coconut sauteed and then ground into a paste. Kolhapur is more into red chillies (and coriander seeds and cinnamon, and black pepper and cloves) - but the general principle is - fry/sautee them in a little bit of oil, then grind it, then fry the paste again to get the final curry. Its effort - but its a special kind of flavor - leaves you feeling satiated (search for "Marathi recipes" or "Maharashtrian recipes".

[@khadeejaahsan4512]

Yes it is; all good curries/masalas will have a well cooked onion base. You can see from the container he used that the onion paste is a brown colour not the colour of a raw onion

[@graphicconception]

[@gamedog1snapper]

[@seb0rn739]

[@robhabibi]

It would be a great idea if you publish a step-by-step recipe for your dishes as they are featured on this channel. Even though, you mention them in the video, but most people want to replicate the dish and video does not do justice.

[@ashl8804]

If you 'find' an Indian 'friend' they'll be more than happy to show and teach you some simple authentic dishes that you can then replicate. We take joy in sharing our recipes and foods. You get to taste the dishes for yourself as well other than just watching which is always a bonus.

[@kalankithaseena6498]

Are the vegetables pre-cooked?

[@CSHummer]

No, people always cook the shit out of vegetables. Most don't need more than 1-2 mins frying. Unless it's a squash or something just chuck it in the pan.

[@markflajsner9944]

does anybody know if the Indian/Chinese cassia the same as the Indonesian or Vietnamese? are they all equally pungent?

[@globalcitizenn]

They have the same basic flavour profile & any can be used in Indian cooking

[@thunderball21789]

[@comtedesaintgermain9269]

thats literally about 14 teaspoons of spice and its crazy how true it is that chefs never measure shit so half the time they are wildly, wildly off with measurements.

[@RTAV108]

Indian spice mix is not done for one time use. Smallest of measures will add up to at least half a cup of mix after they are ground, since there are at least 5 to 10-15 individual spices in a basic mix. This 14 tsp spice will be used for next 4-5 curries..

[@spyderspic666]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 3:50 he said he was using about 2 1/2 teaspoons of spiced powder yet he proceeds to add about 1/4 cup of spiced powder.

Kashmiri chilli and Byadgi chilli (Byadgi is a place in the southern state of Karnataka which grows these chillies.. which have a smoky flavour). Both Kashmiri and Byadgi chilli are mild in heat and give a rich colour so can be used interchangeably.

just telling you cassia is also a type of cinnamon, actually, there are two, Ceylon and cassia ( existing cinnamon subspecies) the former has less of coumarin ( active ingredient ) that the later, the later is better and stronger

No need for due respect. Most of his recipes are inauthentic and not good. He is just another celebrity chef with a michelin star, which in reliaty means nothing about his ability in being a good cook. Most celebrated "international" Indian chefs are mediocre at best.
