Love the slippers bro 😆👍

"Get good tomatoes", and then you live in the UK and you are screwed since it's impossible to get any remotely decent ones that are not hard as plastic or have any taste at all.

[@whatinthechef]

This is so true 😂😂😂

[@donnag5820]

Stop buying cheap shit then. Most of our tomatoes are imported from Continental Europe so you really don’t need to buy ones that may have been grown here.

[@deanboman]

@@donnag5820 For your information I bought probably the most expensive tomatoes you can buy in Europe here in the UK and no matter what the quality is way below anything I tried in some other countries on the continent. The UK does not have enough sunlight and proper climate for growing good tomatoes and the ones that we get from other countries cannot come ripe for simple logistic reasons.

[@donnag5820]

@@deanbomanthe tomatoes I’m eating right now are lovely and sweet. They cost me £3 from Sainsburys.

[@deanboman]

@@donnag5820 good for you, travel somewhere in southern Central Europe try any tomatoes at an open local market and see the difference for yourself.

I made this last night and it was really delicious. I loved the simplicity and easy to follow steps and the results were amazing. I’ve been cooking for over fifty years and sometimes I find when making a curry it can be time consuming and every spice needs to be dry fried and then blitzed to a powder etc. I was delighted at how much easier and faster you made this with unfailing results. Thanks for the tips at the end, very helpful addition. Your microphone cracks me up as does your sense of humour. Now that I’ve found your channel I can look forward to making more curries without the worries. Many thanks 🙏

[@whatinthechef]

Thank you for the kind message, I really appreciate it. Glad the video has helped!! That’s the aim, to make it as easy as possible to follow. Cooking curries shouldn’t be hard at all.

[@bulletproofblouse]

Yay, them Taj Garlic and Ginger Freezer packs are always in my freezer. I used to work in a supermarket and when people would ask where the jars of Lazy Garlic were I'd show them, but them also show them the freezer section for a better alternative that has no extra oil in and last longer.

[@kaix6023]

Yay you made a KZbin channel! I’m Honestly so glad you did, it’s much more detailed and more of your personality is coming through which is awesome. Oh and I’ll deffo be making this IA!

[@whatinthechef]

Thank you, I appreciate that

[@sureshnambiar1974]

Made this today. Since tomatoes not as juicy, added Onions and a bit of a hack … added tomato Ketchup to get the acidity right while cooking. Worked well for me. I also cooked the Tomato and sauté the onions separately and then made it into a paste in a blender and added it while cooking. I did let it slow cook for a slightly longer time. Chicken was quite juicy and the whole dish tasted nice. Thank you brother for sharing this amazing and simple recipe. God bless!

[@ss.1ooss]

Yesss thx for the long recipes appreciate it ‼️‼️

[@DarrenAP]

Made this tonight and this recipe is a keeper! First time in a long while ive tasted to check seasoning and haven't needed anything to balance it at all. Keep them coming 👌🏻

[@Ismaelloveswhatinthechef]

The curry is amazing

[@CraigCail]

This is the first time I'm come across you and I love it haha. Brilliant. Top man.

[@nezbit8989]

Great video and well explained, I’m gonna give this a try thanks 👍

[@harrybursey3029]

Just finished eating this, and it's fantastic . Thanks for the recipe

[@markashby2622]

Excellent recepie.

[@timtim7742]

Tried this recipe this week. Best curry I’ve had all year. Reminded me of the authentic curry you get in northern India. First time I made it, used the vine tomatoes, second time, used tinned tomatoes. I’d say using the tinned tomatoes is probably more akin to the type of flavour were used to in the uk. I’m confident enough to be able to adjust spices to taste now for friends. Thankful of your videos , suggestion why don’t you set a buy me a coffee account, I’m sure people would be happy enough to donate some well earned cash for your recipes and time and effort, Keep up the good work!!! Cheers

[@IbizaDreamer65]

I'm a Latifs Inspired disciple and your video popped up on my suggested videos this morning. Being the curious person I am, I went out to buy a few ingredients to make this dish and, well, it's absolutely delicious. I've not made a curry without onions before but this was divine. I wish I could show you a pic as I think mine is better than yours 😮😂. Kidding. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@jamesdrake2058]

Lovely, thanks.

[@Tony-fq3pp]

My favourite dish. Saved this for later. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

[@stevenorfolk6815]

Thanks very much for this. Super easy and really tasty. My 3 year old son (who's quite picky with his food) said it tastes better than pasta and pizza, that's high praise!

[@johnbrotherton338]

Fantastic recipes. Easy instructions. A lovely aroma whilst cooking. Thanks very much. Well done.

[@andybarry5315]

Brilliant, I tend to not watch stuff like this.... Presented really well, with some humour ....and this dish looks amazing. Also kudos to your slippers😂

[@brightbright400]

This looks so awesome and easy. This dish is native to Punjab Province in Pakistan. I’m half Pashton (Pakistani) and half Tajikistani 🇹🇯, I would love to see you cook some dishes from those parts of Pakistan 🇵🇰 or Tajikistan 🇹🇯!

[@youknow6968]

That's an interesting mix, welcome to the family 😊

I made this last night and it was the first curry that tasted amazing and as good as from a restaurant. Will be buying the book!

[@whatinthechef]

I appreciate that!! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Mullhead_III]

I used to eat this in Lahore and it was head and shoulders above everything else I ate there. Really looking forward to trying this recipe. Thanks

[@MrChilliMan]

I’m Sikh and I definitely approve this curry bro 👊🏽

That looks achievable and delicious!

Made this last night. Oh my word. Taste sensation

[@anonymous4201]

I like your style mate

[@user-ze3nl2kc2f]

Top stuff, cheers!

[@mahbub87hussain]

Made this today and turned out brilliant. I did add more chilli though and I used a whole chicken instead of just chicken breast. Loving seeing more young asian men showcasing their talents on youtube. As a fellow Bengali man, I salute you good sir.

[@whatinthechef]

Love it, and I’m glad you adapted it to your liking!! That’s the best part

[@davebarnett4262]

Looks ace - one to try this weekend. Subscribed 👍🏻

[@LaMOi1]

Love this video…. Broken down simply.

[@HowdiBegum]

Imran, this recipe is banging bruv. My kids love it too. It's so easy

[@whatinthechef]

Glad you all enjoyed it 🙏🏽

[@Maya-11146]

Looks amazing. Can you maybe do a video on how to brine 1 kg of chicken breats? So its sooo lovley and tender. I always wandered how its done. This recipe looks amazing 👏

[@jockman4686]

class banter lad and that looks tremendous

[@whatinthechef]

Thanks man

[@BrutalCarnage]

Looks banging bro!

[@JimRiven]

This has been my go too quick curry for years, though I tend to use onions and fenugreek powder as well as the leaves. Might add cardamon and / or a couple of cloves at the start too.

[@noxus7462]

Great video, interesting recipe will definitely try! Should be delicious

[@opencurtin]

This looks delicious good tips , can you add extra vegetables like red peppers carrots to bulk it out and use less chicken ?!?

[@sunrizviable]

Loved this video, thought you presented it very well with proper detai and simple to follow directions..... I'm now a subscriber

[@RDR1456]

Love this bro but surely chicken breast cooked for 30 minutes plus will dry out? When i make it i add the breast pieces for 6 minutes at most. Your thoughts?

[@markgriffiths5616]

My thoughts too, surely it’d feel like rubber?

[@THEJAM-EATERS]

[@KritchieXX]

Tasty recipe, love it! Just a quick note on tinned tomatoes - because San Marzano tomatoes are under a European protected designation of origin, aka D.O.P., any tinned product containing these tomatoes are under strict guidelines and regulations so typically will only ever have 2 ingredients: Whole Peeled San Marzano Tomatoes, San Marzano Tomato Juice. This means there's no Acidity Regulator or any other junk in there! The reason companies use Acidity Regulators in tinned tomatoes is because they make their products with a variety of different tomatoes that are sold to them cheaply in bulk because they aren't suitable for sale fresh to supermarkets, so they need to balance out the different acidity levels across all the different tomatoes they are putting in the tin. Because San Marzano tomatoes are sold under D.O.P., they can only put one type of tomato in the tin (San Marzano obviously), and each tomato has to be of a certain quality standard for it to be put in the tin. This obviously makes the San Marzano tomatoes more expensive than regular supermarket tinned tomatoes, but understanding all of this has allowed me to always have access to good quality tomatoes for all my soups, stews, and curries no matter the seasonality, quality, or price of good fresh tomatoes in my country. Seems stupid to write this all out on a KZbin comment, but this "hack" has benefitted me greatly over the years and thought someone out there might also benefit if they ever read this. Much love and happy cooking!

[@kategoldsworthy737]

I didn't know this, thank you!

[@grandmaroutines4325]

Nice video thanks for sharing good recipe ❤

[@michaelcraven575]

Brilliant channel mate

[@darksyed]

Loved it! A good cooking video always leaves the viewer feeling confident that they can replicate the dish. Yours did 👏

[@whatinthechef]

Glad you liked it!!

[@danielforde-pogson]

Great video. That's me next curry and I just ordered me cooking slippers.

[@YiSLGaming]

Just discovered your channel. Love your presentation and I deffo need to uo the curry game. Out of interest, can you not marinate or brine chicken breast to ensure it retains soke moisture?

[@aglfc4eva]

Hey bro made this today. So thankful i got this because i was craving this and all the south asian takeouts are dead at this dish by mine. mine tastes proper apana style thank you!

[@whatinthechef]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@davidbowering9820]

Looks delicious. Any chance you could do a video on cutting up a whole chicken for your recipes?

[@whatinthechef]

I usually just get the butcher to do it

[@TheLman77]

To be fair your presentation is excellent and you have a very amusing personality 👍🏻

[@whatinthechef]

I appreciate that a lot

[@jhoneyb]

I'm def gonna make this for the famalam.

[@richardjohn7991]

Looks bangin

I've just subscribed for the slippers alone. 😂 The delicious recipes are a bonus. 😂

I appreciate that 🙏🏽

Love this! I want to make authentic curries. I'm a thigh man too 🙂Subscribed 👍

[@TherealWottie]

Banging curry ❤

[@ralphbecket]

No onion? Madness, but I'm going to try it. This looks wonderful (and since I emigrated to Australia, I've had to learn how to cook proper curry -- amazing food here, but the Indian/Pakistani food is not quite there yet). Really enjoyed your video.

[@natrjack965]

Great video and I love your slippers lol 😅

[@chckns]

The consistency of the curry looks amazing! Would just like to ask why you didn't use onions as well as tomatoes in this dish? I guess it's to do with the sweetness?

[@vincentlewis1297]

Great presentation style, subscribed :)

[@whatinthechef]

I appreciate that 🙏🏽

[@mohammadadnanchowdhury336]

Bro do a biriyani recipe please

looks great, lets go

[@whatinthechef]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ragsy70]

Imran…. The tomato skin removal thing is Absolutely ace.. I normally just throw them in and go digging for the skins later… who needs onions ?? 😊👍

[@challengepcn7982]

I have an idea with this dish. Pre-boil the rice and stack it and make it like a biryani style. It is fantastic

[@JimboCruntz]

I've seen a few complaints about the difficulties of getting good tomatoes in the UK in the comments. A good workaround for this is to buy the best quality tinned tomatoes you can and use them instead. Add them and bring to a simmer and then follow on from when the tomatoes were cooked in the video. If you are worried about the liquid they come in then separate them from the tomato juice however I feel you could add it all and get almost identical results, maybe add some water (use the Tin so you can to add the rest of the tomato juice still in there to the dish too). Tinned tomatoes, when you buy good quality ones, should just be cooked tomatoes in a juice made of blended cooked tomatoes anyway. The good quality ones are usually much better quality than the ones you can buy fresh in the UK and they're always in season. Don't be scared because they're in a tin. 😂

[@User786-yo7fd]

Like your food like you like your videos delicious

[@jimsicle]

Amazing curry! Also, just saw your slippers which means you are a man of culture as well 😂😂

[@whatinthechef]

Hahahhaa

[@wakeywarrior]

Looks good. What about Mutti Polpa instead, that’s tinned but really good quality.

[@DjJay]

Like that mic on a ladle technique

[@paolos22]

Hi, any idea where you can get the garlic and ginger blocks from?

[@whatinthechef]

Any supermarket usually

[@olliefoggitt7800]

Where do you get the garlic and ginger blocks

[@DawahDigital]

Yoooo! You’re on KZbin now الحمد لله

[@rickoboom]

Dude. Is this like the Desi apna style karahi chicken and spinach from the Akbars restaurant? I’m from the netherlands and used to eat there and really miss that dish, so looking for that recipe.

[@Maya-11146]

Looks amazing! 👏 Can you use ghee instead?

[@whatinthechef]

I would use a mixture of ghee and oil. Too much ghee can be overpowering.

[@nodsasgood]

I've just eaten but am hungry again :)

[@Secretgeek2012]

Bradford accent + cooking curry = recipe saved 👍👍 😁
