Vegetarians or meat free nights - feel free to replace the meat with any fleshy/substantial vegetables (cauliflower, soya chunks, paneer, tofu) as you'll still get the great flavour. Heck the sauce itself is a gem. I'm a British born Punjabi and your BIR is becoming more and more Desi (traditional homegrown)... Which is an awesome thing in my books. Keep passing on the foodology knowledge my brother and respect going out to you each and every time.

[@onlymyself7225]

tofu , soya chunks , please research this more , view testimonies , stay away ....veggies , yes , all good to go , soya products , they are in everything all of a sudden with no actual need or purpose , thats when humans need to say.........well , why? .....and realise your government isnt your friend , Jesus Christ is your saviour.

@@onlymyself7225 thanks for the additional info. This will be helpful for those in the need. The base that the chef has provided will work to make cardboard tasty. Where you get your protein from is also key. Thanks for highlighting as you're right about having a good intake. Happy cooking ✌️

[@hozzer68]

Hi Latif, is that a 12” pan or 10’ pan you are using ? I’ve been using a non-stick pan but feel I need to use one of these as I never need to de-glsze the pan and are probably loosing a bit of flavour. This series is probably your best stuff yet, the Dhansak was amazing

Another fantastic recipe. What I would do differently (as it was too spicy for me) is only use 2 Kashmiri Peppers and add the whole 11:38 garlic when I add the chicken as mine went to mush. I also de-seeded the green chilies. Honestly such beautiful flavours and aromatics in this dish. Thank you!

[@MrVectrexUK]

Thanks for the recipe and video - I cooked this for my family at the weekend and it was VERY well received! I had to omit the chilis as my partner doesn't like food that is too spicy, but I used hot chili powder which gave it enough of a kick. It's hard to find kashmiri chili powder locally so is it okay to substitute paprika (you did mention this in the video, but didn't seem keen) in order to give the colour - will it change the flavour?

[@LatifsInspired]

Using paprika will change the flavour however you can use maybe a tsp to get a good colour

[@briantodd5851]

Making this today with Lamb. The smells in the kitchen are next level. Latiff you are a genius 👌🏻

[@MattBooth]

I made this last night and it was absolutely amazing. I opted not to put any chili powder in, just the Kashmiri chili powder (which has been a game changer in my cooking!). My chilli powder is too hot. It was perfect! The sweetness of the garlic was 👌 I also forgot the lemon at the end which, in retrospect, would've been lovely!

[@martingray4005]

Wow ! Watching this at 05.45 in the morning, couldn’t sleep now I want to go cook ! Can you do a video to explain at what point and why some chefs roast spices rather than using those out of the packet ? Lovely well presented videos , I’m hooked .

[@russbarker2727]

Hi Chef Latif. A nice and easy recipe. A question for you Sir. I ALWAYS use you ginger, and garlic paste. Is it suitable for this curry? Also, how about garnishing the finished dish with some lightly fried garlic slivers?

[@DeanAnthonyGratton]

I’ve been watching several of your ‘One Pot’ dishes, which I think is a wonderful addition and a significant shift away from the true restaurant ‘you need gravy’-style of cooking since, ordinarily, I’m not cooking for 20, 30, or even 50 people. Maybe, I just don’t have many friends. Anyway, having watched your episodes, I do note that many of the ingredients, spices and so on are the same across your one pot dishes and I fear, is there a danger that they might taste all the same? By the way, I did cook the one pot Chicken Bhuna - utterly yum, and am looking forward to cooking the Garlic Chilli Chicken! Best wishes Dean.

[@creepyuncle542]

I went and bought all ingredients that I didn't have and made it like for like. Just amazing. I used more garlic though haha. Are you supposed to take out the cardamom seeds?

[@dhillont2370]

@ latif great recipe my friend. I’ve made this curry many times to your recipe and it’s tasty, but just a quick question: could you add cream to this dish?. Have you ever tried. Would the cream split? Would it become better and acrid?. Keep up the good work 🙏🏽👍🏽🇬🇧

Excellent video can I ask you how you make the fresh tomato puree is that just tomatos puried in a blender they look creamy - can you explain that part could you use passata instead?

This is my go to order, definitely going to try it out. Is there anything you can use instead of ghee as I basically have everything else? I'd probably also try using thinly sliced green chilli (as in sliced into rings), been to one restaurant that did that and it was incredible.

I'm making this right now and looking forward to eating. Interesting what you say about fried tomato taste, which I'm following. Not sure about your use of the lid; if you want to drive off water surely you keep the lid off. I agree kashmiri chilli is an excellent colour. Thanks for your video.

Does pre-cooking the chicken in just oil improve this curry? but is a very nice idea to cook everything in one pan

[@fabiss23]

Latif, are the people of India and Pakistan always eat with this amount of spices like coriander, kashmiri chili, turmeric, cumin garam masala etc. in their day to day meals? I made many of your recipes, they are really really good (daal bhuna is my favorite), i love eating indian/pakistan food but i could not eat them everyday, its too tough for me to digest so much spices even with the help of naan bread(i make my own) and yoghurts/sour cream. Great videos, thank you for showing your recipes and cooking style.

These one pot dishes are a bit more work than the typical BIR curries using base gravy, but they really do make for a tasty dish.

This one has me sitting on the fence. Latif, have I missed something? I think I made it pretty much as your video, but it was not oozing with a garlic flavour (due to whole cloves I'm sure). However, on the plus side, really fiery and deep taste. But here's the dilema. Would you agree that the Lahori Chicken Karahi, which you should rename as a One Pot, (just been copied almost identically by Al's Kitchen, but with yoghurt) is a stage further up the line of supreme curries than this one? I'm not sure this would make your personal top 5? Feedback please!
