Been going to the same Bengali restaurant for 30 years and have built of love and friendship with the staff. Will still be going once a week as always but now I’m able to eat an amazing chicken dhansak more often and also experience the absolute joy of cooking great food. Thanks Latif ❤️❤️

[@dr.s.p.]

Great tasting recipe. We learned the importance of making sure we gave enough time to cook everything before the chicken goes in, so we get a lovely pulpy dish first. Lovely!

[@DrBrunoRecipes]

Lovely 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland ♥️ Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

[@LatifsInspired]

Love your message on comment section

[@michaelchirwa-goacher3907]

Absolutely delicious. Doubled up so have plenty in the freezer now. Love these dishes that you cook from scratch.

[@trixieb4501]

This is a lovely dish. A nice combination of dal's and chicken. Will be making this soon😋

[@gavindavis1710]

Superb recipe Latif! You have absolutely captured me with your traditional cooking! I used to cook BIR style for a long time, but now for me, traditional is the only way to go. Spot on!! 👌

[@tracybeckett4107]

It looks delightful! Thank you chef, much appreciated.

[@alengalesic5925]

I've just made it, no words to describe it. Smell and taste are fabulous ! Latif, thank you for this great recipe ;)

[@FaizaKitchen]

Wow very nice recipe from Uk 🇬🇧

[@kevbrookbank4970]

Hi Latif, thank you so much for this recipe. I haven’t had a Dhansak, probably my favourite curry since I moved from England to Australia in 2004. When I moved here it was very difficult to get a BIR standard curry, so I started to make my own with varying degrees of success. That is until I discovered your channel. I have cooked a number of your recipes now and those that I share with are truly blown away with the taste and quality of the meal. The recipes, the explanations and the videos that show the very important techniques used are inspiring. When COVID is over and travel restrictions are lifted, on my next visit to the UK I will visit the restaurant to thank you personally, until then, thank you again. Kev.

[@RoryAherne]

Another great video. Just out of curiosity - do you tend to cook traditional or BIR at home? A freezer full of concentrated base gravy to be thinned out 1:1 with water is so handy and a great liquid to poach/pre-cook frozen chicken thighs in. Hopefully you guys can open up again asap - even if it means you'll be too busy to post videos at the rate you've been doing lately! Edit: one more question - would salting the onions in a bowl an hour or so before hand make life easier, or destroy the onions?

[@binmanbeenyetman7034]

Love your videos , would love to see how to make a chicken purée bir style , thanks

[@rossanderton3424]

[@njayd2007]

Hey thanks for the recipes! what curry powder do you use?

[@deansimpson6422]

Can't wait to try this, dhansak is my fav and there is so many variations, I like a sweet/sour BIR style personally. Have you ever heard of a nepalese style dish called Kathmandu? I'm guessing it's a restaurant name, a spicy variation similar to yours with whole finger chillies and sliced of garlic.

[@parrot_sunday]

Dhansak a Persian dish is never sweet n sour and also is never made with chana Dal. This is murder!

[@richardwestwell327]

Isn’t Dhansak being Parsee, dish with a mix of 3 types of Dhals along with vegetables.

[@LatifsInspired]

This is a Bangladeshi inspired dish. The Persians have their influence and even BIR have their own influence... Food is amazing

[@manijehscooking]

Yes Richard you are right. It can be made with one simple dal such as toor or split pigeon peas alone or a mix of upto 5 dals including chana dal. Visit my channel for an authentic Parsi Dhansak recipe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH-TiZyZp66ebpo

[@FollowTheJohn]

I wish I could taste your food.

[@kallisto9166]

Latif, I notice that in many recipes you use veg oil and then add ghee. What is the thinking behind using both? Is it just for flavour or is there more to it? Also, are you talking about butter-based ghee or the veg-based stuff? Thanks anyway for another great recipe.

[@LatifsInspired]

Ghee can be overpowering so need something neutral to balance the flavour and aroma. Vegetable ghee is very strong.

[@kallisto9166]

@@LatifsInspired Cheers man!

[@nickscott6139]

Have you ever considered bringing out your own base gravy and marketing it, together with the usual basic sauces? As I now live alone it would be so wonderful to be able to buy your sauces. Thanks and please keep the recipes coming. I've sent so many to my daughter in Australia.

So lazy, those pre-packed sauces can be full of preservatives etc. Cook fresh! Its the only way to get the authentic taste.

[@ChrisW444]

Can you do this without a lid, I currently don't have an aluminium pan with one? If so is it just a matter of a shorter cooking time and maybe adding more water to prevent it sticking? Love your recipes. Keep them coming.

Latif, I have been enjoying your channel. I hope to make some. Question, tomato seems to be in most recipes, would green mango be an acceptable substitute for tomato? If not green mango, maybe green plums or tamarind? I am asking in order to avoid nightshade ingredients however tasty they do not impact my health very well.

[@ianchristie3032]

This sooooooo not Dhansak. While the dish may taste good please don’t call it Dhansak! And since when did a Bangladeshi become an authority to claim that this dish (as shown) is made all across India? Also Dhansak is not an Indian dish. It is made by Parsis living in India who were originally Persians. It’s a sacrilege calling it Dhansak!

This is not Dhansak from any side ! Dhansak is an ancient and quintessential Parsi recipe , steeped in tradition and culture ... Please don’t call this concoction Dhansak ! It’s cultural misappropriation! And nor is it a popular dish “ All over India” It is very popular in Bombay , where authentic Dhansak is served .. Please Google History of Dhansak and Parsis .. You will get your answer !

[@sherryyezdani9123]

Dhansak is a Traditional Parsi Zoroastrian dish and NOT a Bangladeshi dish. Kindly show it as your interpretation of the dish and definitely NOT a traditional dish.

[@foodieforlife8263]

I’m a fan of your recipes but this one you got it completely wrong. Dhansak is a traditional recipe which ideally should not be misrepresented. Dhansak is a combination of rice and daal. The rice is cooked brown in color thru A combination of caramelized sugar and onion. The daal used is Toor or masoor daal, never chana daal. Once cooked, the chicken / meat is separated, the daal is completely mashed up, then the baghaar is added and any chicken/meat is put in for a final simmer. What you have made is murkh-chana daal.

No no no this is Bangladeshi recipe. Every region and country in Asia have their own take on it.
