What I cooked for my family mid week - SABZI AND PARATHA!

[@somethingsweetsomethingsav3022]

I could listen to your lovely accent and watch you cook all day! Love your channel 🥰

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yay! Thank you!

[@artistlovepeace]

Your family is very lucky. Wow! So much beautiful healthy food.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks

[@gigifdubois]

I love all of your videos the authenticity of this one. Just real life cooking for a real life family and carving out those important and precious few minutes of sanity for yourself during the day. Thank you. ❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

thank you

[@OSheaDean]

The chard sabzi looks great; leftover dal into fresh bread will never not seem like magic to me 🧨✨️

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@deborahmoore2801]

Love it! Great to see the real time juggling, prepping and finishing of all the dishes needed for a whole nutritious meal. Keep it going please!!

[@Lazuli901]

I really liked this video! I've been cooking using your videos and some other blogs for a few months now, but it's still great to see the timing behind everything. Plus I enjoy seeing what ideas you can use for a full meal with sides. The raita and salad were both excellent suggestions, and I'll definitely be adding them to my menus! It's also just nice to see a good simple combo perfect for during the week. Thanks a lot and feel free to add this type of video to your rotation! :D

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks so much

[@evelyngrammar]

A clear example of a chef vs a cook. I'm a cook. I follow each step carefully, measuring each item along the way. Chetna is a chef who understands flavors and techniques and can adjust as needed.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thats very kind, thanks

[@misstrekfreak]

Your chatting with us is lovely and homely besides the great food 😋😋😋🙏🏻

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you 😋

[@theopinioness3010]

loved the authentic video. I can relate 100% Thanks for the motivation and inspiration!

[@FoodwithChetna]

You are very welcome

[@The.Unscripted.Life.x]

Please make more videos like this! I love it

[@juliehillebrand8923]

Oh my gosh, that looks insanely delicious! I love you and your channel, Chetna, and I would love more of "what we are having for dinner!"

[@reneemarquez5258]

Wow this meal is mouthwatering. What a lucky family to have your meals.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks

[@dovey6589]

Thanks Chetna, for the recipe ideas, I enjoyed the flow of the video too.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Glad you liked it

[@ddavey3011]

Thank you for all your wonderful recipes, books, and videos! We have had so many delicious meals thanks to you. We’re going to make the dal parathas (again!) tonight. Soooo delicious! One question: Can you please recommend where to buy an atta parat dough bowl like yours? Thank you very much!

[@carolinehuisman503]

Great video. Definitely continue this way😊

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you! Will do!

[@zulfaabdulrahman8279]

Always enjoy your videos and recipes. Thank you.

[@capucinemaneckjee5276]

I really enjoyed this video and love this sort of meal. Love the tarka dal in the parathas, love the sabzi, love the chai break too!

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks

[@cathyhorn23]

Absolutely LOVE your recipes!!! ❤❤❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

thank you!

[@lynnetteackerman962]

Thank you for all your hard work, and for all of your explanations along the way

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks

[@kerryread3653]

What a wonderful recipe. Thank you so much.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@banerjeearundhati22]

I love your homecooking videos. Chetna, in Bengali recipes usually we do not add water, but allow the water from the leafy veg/ saag to help cook the potatoes and that is a different taste . Am sure you have tried this option as well.

[@deborahmeyers551]

Chetna I love to hear what you say your beautiful personality and you're soooooo good at what you do with your beautiful dishes your family must treasure you❤

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼🙏🏽

[@Yelron029]

Great video! I am new to cooking Indian food, so this kind of everyday home-cooked recipe is very insightful! Much more information than the same few recipes on the online recipe blogs.

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@JennyBirtwistle]

This is such a great video and I would really love to see more of your family meals....... inspirational!

[@vannotenc]

That was lovely, joining you in the kitchen for diner. Thank you Chetna ❤

[@andyfairchild2383]

Loved the video, so more like that please. It’s always interesting to see real home cooking. I guess that’s why I like your channel and books. They’re the antidote to all the British Indian takeaway style base gravy recipes that proliferate on here. Your recipes are so much cleaner and fresher tasting, healthier too.

[@FoodwithChetna]

thank you so much

[@NikkiKiss-rj6tk]

Loved ❤ the video… please do some more family meals you have.. 🎉

[@FoodwithChetna]

will do

[@rxneet]

I can’t wait to make this paratha recipe It’s a good way to use up any leftover dal

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@NajatJaber-zo1dm]

It looks very delicious I love carry and rice very , very much , my question please what is Messily ? Is it curry ? I also followed your recipes… I’m one of the people that loves Indian foods cary very much … I have some MSALA in my fridge but I don’t know what is it , how to use it .. is it mean “carry” can you please help me to know what is it if I can cooked it same as curry with chicken besides rice too ..??

[@lilycalir6515]

Hi Chef! I had planted Swiss chard in my backyard because I like the name but once it grew like crazy I was like huh how do I make it so I’m thankful for your recipe!

[@sweetchilli559]

Can we have a kitchen tour please ie how you organise and store appliances and food. Also what appliances and utensils you have please. I love your recipes by the way ! Also purchased your book :)

[@aminabegum3918]

Food looks delicious and great. Love everything, the sabzi, raita and salad looks great. Love the paratas and brownies ❤️❤️😍

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@weizhou3539]

I wish I can taste that!!! It looks so yummy, gonna try to make the salad and paratha

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@sjay6668]

That whole meal is a family favourite. In fact we cooked that purji this week - u can never go wrong with that one. Thanks for sharing but this is an everyday dish for many Asians. Yum.

[@FoodwithChetna]

🙏🏽

[@manchean1]

Love the style of this video. Very relaxing and real x

[@lil_glowworm5680]

This video made me so happy!😭 I can’t wait to try!

[@tubbybucktooth8457]

Could you please share what brand of wok/pan you’re using to make Swiss chard? Thanks.

[@FoodwithChetna]

details of all pans on my video kitchen essentials

[@lisasalerno4182]

I really enjoyed sharing this part of your day as shown here.. love your humor... and I have to tell you - you always remind me of my aunt when she was your age.. she rocked that haircut like you do, and had a similar smile and mannerisms, though our ethnicity is very different. Just goes to show you we humans are all the same family. I'm much older than that now, so these are fond memories of my youth.. in the meantime, you have opened this committed omnivore to meat free recipes I actually enjoy as a main course. Delicious. You make me smile for many different reasons :) Especially when it's rainy.. as a resident of the Pacific Northwest, I totally get you when the weather is dreary! Blessings, Chetna and thank you. I must try this now, though I have black kale in the house right now instead of rainbow chard.. I think it'll work fine, what do you think?

[@FoodwithChetna]

thank you for such a lovely comment, really appreciate it and so glad you are enjoying the veg recipes

[@daisysmum7336]

Oooo, I will be trying those recipes! I’m always looking for an interesting chard recipe and the paratha looks delish! I made the Spinach Chicken and the Tamarind Aubergine Curry from your “Chetna 30 Minute” book last night and OH MY WORD, it was so delicious! I’m enjoying all your books, the photography makes everything look soooo enticing.

[@daisysmum7336]

Also, I love the chatty, “what I make for dinner” vlogs. More please!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks a lot and so glad you liked it

[@Dandelion_Stitches]

Great video, really like this style. Food looked fantastic too, we're definitely going to try making parathas that way. :)

[@FoodwithChetna]

Hope you enjoy

[@artistlovepeace]

I always use my hands to touch and feel for doneness. Any germs will die almost instantly from the heat of the food. It's okay to touch your food when you are cooking and when you are eating.

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼

[@heidihumbug]

Looks delicious, and I’ve just bought rainbow chard so this is absolutely what I’ll be making for tea tonight! As an aside, the box you put the brownies in… can I ask where you got them and what size they are?! They look to be exactly what I’m after!

[@Winterwonder55]

Hi Chetna. God your food always looks so good. Still can’t get hang off making roti I should really know how to cook them as come from Indianwhen wil 19:29 family and my mother use to cook Indian food everyday like your mum. Hopefully one day I get there. When the roast dinner blog coming.

[@FoodwithChetna]

its coming this week

[@Winterwonder55]

Great can’t wait for that. Really enjoy your cook books as well.

[@lisasalerno4182]

I made the sabzi last night - this is going to be a weekly make for me :) more than enough food for just one person - so I can be lazy and just reheat some for a quick meal later. leftovers- yum!

[@niloufergazdar6537]

I enjoyed the chai as well...made it & posted your masala chai a few days back * tagged you . Not tried cooking chard the Indian way..must do !! Paratha looks yummy

[@FoodwithChetna]

enjoy the chard sabzi

[@laureblau1241]

Yummy !! 😋

[@FoodwithChetna]

🙏🏽

[@KindergartenWithMsFozia]

home cooking at its best:)

[@FoodwithChetna]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@deepikachander5284]

Excellent video 😊.. teaches me how to use non-Indian veggies in America .. also I see how other moms balance cooking , cleaning chores and their hunger , chai time etc 😅 it’s very useful !! Any other effective methods to provide healthy meals while minimizing cook, clean time is very much appreciated 😊

[@clixbits]

Definitely more 'tubes' like this.. great video!

[@FoodwithChetna]

Thanks! Will do!

[@annatokarska8716]

Wygląda przepysznie!!!! ❤️

[@deniseedwards7536]

Loved your everyday cooking😍 for the family. I really do miss cooking for mine as they all live Oversee! so I fill my home with friends . Where did you get the pan u mix the Arata In? I'd like to get one for me and my husband. When I was little we hah a really big one. Love from Australia. Denise

[@susandibble3525]

I loved this! Can you tell me, do the Boondi balls stay crunchy when you add them to yoghurt ? And are they a good snack? Thank you 🙏

[@FoodwithChetna]

it goes soft and thats what its meant to do. Not great for snack as they have no flavour on their own

[@MitsCary]

How do you make your forzen assai please show this

[@FoodwithChetna]

I buy the frozen acai

[@MitsCary]

Where do buy the Acai?@@FoodwithChetna

[@nataliakhan3324]

Where did you get frozen açai from ?

[@racheldawson8112]

Is it possible you can do a recipe with beetroot? X

[@FoodwithChetna]

There are a couple on the channel already but will surely do more

[@akbaranees8461]

Madam, could we use swisschard ?

[@FoodwithChetna]

Yes, you can

[@akbaranees8461]

Thank you charming lady for your reply !@@FoodwithChetna

[@shabanazoovish4364]

Wats that green stuff called again not heard of that before

[@savannamillen7276]

Love this video

[@FoodwithChetna]

thanks

[@MitsCary]

Hey Chetna are like me - I hate the way when the mustard seed pop they fly everywhere, even once I have cleaned the kitchen I also seem to find one escaped mustard see 😂😂

[@FoodwithChetna]

😂

[@MitsCary]

Also whenever I grate garlic my fingers/hands smell of garlic so I always put them into mixer. How do you avoid the lingering smell? help

[@FoodwithChetna]

ahhhh not sure if I have any tips for that 😔

[@deborahmoore2801]

Wash your hands (fingertips) with salt afterward, then follow with a soap wash. Grate ginger after garlic to make everything less garlicky, if that bothers you.

[@MitsCary]

Thank you so much Deborah xxxxx@@deborahmoore2801

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Looks Lush

[@tactfulhbean8773]

Chetna ... too much rambling sorry ! Would be nice if a shorter and straight recipe of your dish. Less painful to watch then ! Good food but video needs seriously to be tuned up . Thank you.
