Channa is also known as chickpeas, garbanzo beans or ceci beans. Aloo on the other hand is what we Trinidadians refer to potato. Hence the term channa and aloo. In this dish, channa and aloo are simmered in a fragrant curry sauce flavored with aromatics including turmeric, cumin and fresh herbs.

Absolutely amazing recipe Ria❤️ this channa and aloo tastes like real ‘prayers food!’ Thank you so much for sharing it, eternally grateful 🙏

[@LarryFournillier]

Yet again, another brilliant cooking demo! Ria, you're a fantastic teacher and your calm, knowledgeable delivery, is on point! I would buy anything you're selling, 💯%. 😁👍🏽

[@balusmbox]

I made this yesterday, I used mushrooms instead of potatoes. OMG, it tasted AMAZING. I also made green seasoning using your recipe guidelines. For my herbs, I used 1bunch cilantro, 1/2 bunch parsley, white ends of scallions 2 bunches, a handful of mint leaves, handful of sorrel leaves. My friend Ria, thank you so so much for sharing these videos.

[@EricaBeautyJournal]

I tried this recipe yesterday and it came out perfect. Yay! Thanks ☺

[@ricereads3841]

I made this today. It was frigging delicious. I had some tweaks tho. I used jalapeno peppers that were left over from making a mexican dish, I added all purpose seasoning along with the salt and I also used thyme leaves instead of fine thyme. My first time cooking curry and as a Trini woman this is a must know lol. Thanks to you, I have a manual on how to cook curry so it comes out well every time

[@asharamlal5992]

I love this recipe. All your recipes are simple but the results are amazing. Usually I would also add a few curry leaves in the oil with the mathee to fry. Looks delicious.

Hi Ria, does the Stiring at the end make the stew thicker or are you just evaporating the liquid a little bit? Also are you using particular type of curry powder? Thanks

Elsa&lisa Hi sorry I missed your questions. I was never notified. Stirring does both. I use Cariherb from Trinidad. Any Trini brand will work. 🌷

This is something I been looking for. Thank u. My best friend in high school was Indian and her mother used to make something like this and put it over rice. It was yummy! And spicy 😊. I've missed it. Been long time since I found something close to it and this is it I believe. Hers was a little more different in coloring but close enough. Thank u again. Going to try this weekend. ❤️

Dear Ria, If I can't find Bandhania, is it ok to buy green seasoning from Amazon? Which brand would you recommend? Thank you.

[@CookingWithRia]

Nageswara Rao Vellanki Bala I never recommend buying green seasoning -most contain chemicals and preservatives and nothing like freshly made ! You can use chopped scallion or cilantro.

[@balusmbox]

@@CookingWithRia : Thank you. I will use a combination of Scallion and Cilantro. I absolutely love your recipes, and so far I made Stew chicken and curry chicken.
