Finally a proper restaurant grade dhansak, can’t thank you enough. I love making this, taken me10 years of trying various recipes. Nothing like this one 👍

[@dw5551]

Easily the best dhansak recipe on KZbin. Used this a few times now and always blows everyone away. The marinated chicken and the bay leaves in the lentils take it to the next level.

That's fantastic really happy you enjoyed it 😊

I have searched for an authentic BIR Dhansak recipe for years and never found one until now, you have made a Dhansak lover very happy, thank you so much

Thank you 👍

You can also call it chicken Freddie Mer-curry as that was the veteran musician’s favourite food due to his Parsi roots.

[@racketbuddy]

I cooked you're recipe this evening. Absolutely AMAZING!!!! Thank you sooo much for this PERFECTION. I have sampled Chicken Dhansak from many different restaurants within my home town in Swindon, ENGLAND and have always returned to the same restaurant I've ordered from for over 20 years. NO LONGER!! Thanks to you, my friend. You're recipe is AWESOME. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Truly wonderful recipe. I have been trying for ages to get that authentic Indian restaurant style Dhansak flavour, especially since we now live in France and they do not understand curries at all. This tops all my previous attempts. Works well for my wife as a veggie version too. Thanks a million!

[@fusioninspiredkitchen5437]

That's great I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊 thank you.

Dhansak is not Indian rather Persian.

[@ashishdeshpande8888]

@@Anonymous-lu7xr it was created by Persians in India. So yes, it is Indian in that way as it was invented in India. The name Dhan Shatak is also Gujarati (Indian) origin

Thankyou Chef! Ive been making it mostly the same way, but using demerara sugar and adding a thick slice of lemon toward the end. Its been my favourite curry for decades and i make it a couple of times a week now that i know how to cook it

[@deborahandersen982]

Thank you so much for this, dhansak was my absolute favorite when I lived in UK. Now a Brit in California I have never found a restaurant that does this dish ( hard to find a decent curry house in my neck of the woods !). I made this at home and it was divine! Am working my way through your recipes now. Big thank you!

This looks delicious!!

[@fusioninspiredkitchen5437]

Thank you

[@RealUlrichLeland]

I've made this a couple of times now and it just keeps getting better. I definitely like mine very sweet and spicy so I add a fair bit more sugar and chilli. The lentils are delicious but I have to wash them very thoroughly or they wreck havoc on my gut. I usually stir them in water for a minute, then rinse, repeat this once or twice and then soak them overnight and rinse again.

[@philipduncombe4440]

Yey! I've been waiting for this one. Can't wait to try it. I didn't realise how much sugar was in it, though. I don't like it too sweet but I'll go with what you suggest. Keep 'em coming!!

[@fusioninspiredkitchen5437]

Hi dhasak is normally sweet especially in Indian restaurants, you can put less in to start with and then add more in if need being. Thank you

Definitely needed the 3 spoons of sugar like you suggested. Not too sweet - just right!

Really grateful for this...first off I respect your opening words....God is love for sure. ive made it and also made the base gravy. I slightly burned the spices before i added the chicken and got the lentils too wet but recovered that. The marinade worked fanstic and made me ask the question why so many Indian restaurants serve up dry and over cooked chicken. I really enjoyed this video and making the food but i would ask that is it a full cup of lentils or half a cup....I think its says both....best wishes, Joe.

@@fusioninspiredkitchen5437 Lost souls: No man can set you free, only Jesus Christ can set you (lost souls) free but you have to believe in His finished work on the cross at Calvary found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, the only gospel that saves lost souls (when you truly believe from your heart, in what He did for you). This is what saves an unrepented sinner and when they are saved, they are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise found in Ephesians 1:13. Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9. Please get saved because the Church Age of Grace is coming to an end. Next on the timeline is horrific (the seven year tribulation period) - all hell will break loose. Please don't get left behind!

Loving your new channel and have shared a link to the Curry page I belong to on FB.... one thing I think could be improved is increasing the amount of time your ingredients are displayed on screen? They flash up and disappear really quickly. I know you list them in the comments but if you're being watched on TV we don't get to see the comment section. Just a minor point... other than that, really well presented and interesting channel. I'll be trying your version of Madras tomorrow. Cheers Gary
