@@ReillyWilde thank you so much! We will be emailing and posting about the bonus content in the next week or two - it’s just being finalized now. You’ll basically just email us a copy of your receipt and we will email you the bonus content!😊
All of the recipes look amazing. I love how real and down to earth you are . Loved the flying chick peas.😂😂 Your parents are so funny and adorable, you must have got the funny gene from them.
THANK YOU - not only for your culinary genius but for also sharing your adorable family with all of us. Truly, your videos tickle my taste buds and my heart. Much love and sincere appreciation for you and your lovely family.
I made the braised chickpeas for dinner tonight. I am obsessed! The flavors are incredible and the texture is great. I can see myself happily making this over and over again. I absolutely love your channel and recipes. Looking forward to the book! Thank you. :)
I just made the hummus following Nisha's guidelines for canned chick peas and it tasted soapy. It took me a minute or two and a quick google to learn that it was probably from the baking soda when cooking the canned chick peas. So ... just a heads up.... I suggest a *very* little bit of baking soda and a very thorough rinsing. To fix the soapy taste I upped the salt and added more lime (one website suggested balancing the baking soda taste with acid). As suggested by Nisha in a different video I removed the peels from at least half of the chick peas. I got bored so I didn't finish the peeling process LOL Once I adjusted for the soapy taste it still came out pretty darn good and the texture was great. I will be making it again (and again). Thanks
If you don’t want to peal the garbanzo beans you can always purchase dried Chana Dhal, which is small, split, chickpeas with no skins. They last forever and make a luxuriously smooth hummus. Learned that from a great Lebanese channel.
Your parents are the CUTEST. Everyone needs to order the cookbook to protect their happiness at all costs.🥹 This video is so helpful. Chickpeas are a are a big staple in our home. Appreciate you❤
I love chickpeas. Never thought about sprucing them up. I'm so glad that i found your channel. And i can't wait to try the marinade and the chickpea salad snadwich!
Great ideas! I eat boring chickpeas every day on my huge salad. I look forward to making your recipes. Love your parents! So sweet they made me cry. 😊❤️
Love all your chickpea recipes! My mom makes this ancient indigenous recipe where she mixes it with cabbage and carrots and it's simple but oh so good. I ate this dish 1st time in Mexico at a wedding as a side dish wirh mole but I forget what its called. Omg your parents are so funny! The way your dad said food lovers all over the world made me spit out my water😂 already ordered the food bible😂
Oh that sounds like a lovely dish, I’d love to learn more! And yes, we had the same reaction watching my dad say that 💀 and thank you for ordering my book ❤❤
I adore your parents! Great recipes (as always), but I always love when your parents make an appearance. Thankfully, I preordered your cookbook a while back. Don't want your mom angry! 🙂
Hi Nisha, I’ve been using the Oxo Chef’s Squeeze Bottles for oils. They’ve been working well for me. The caps screw on, so what happened to you in this video will not happen with the Oxo bottles.
Amazing, but I get used to the curry of chickpeas, for me the best one regarding that here in my country (Colombia), it is not common to find Indian food, and less likely if it’s vegan
For making humous, I love using chana dal. Chana dal is basically chickpeas split in half with their shells removed. These cook from dry in 12 mins in a pressure cooker. This means you can make humous from dried chickpeas in under 15 mins.....I do this all the time. :-)
Nah, doesn’t work with the chana dal I get at my local India market. Even from the pressure cooker they come out partly hard if they’re aren’t cooked at least for 45min and soaked over night 😞.
@@MalaAnsoo I doubt the type of pressure cooker would make a huge difference but, for what it's worth, I use an Instant Pot to cook mine. I bought one after seeing @RainbowPlantLife demo a load of recipes in them.
@@lilly-uy9dq that worked for me when I cooked the chana dal in a saucepan.....be careful if adding baking powder / bicarbonate of soda to a pressure cooker as it makes the water very frothy. I did this exact method in my old manual pressure cooker and the water spurted out of the release valve....oopsie
So funny that just this week I was experimenting with how to make chickpeas more fun! 😂 I’ve just been pan frying them with different seasonings and seeing what I like best
In my hummus, instead of tahini, I use: ground almonds and cashews with sesame and olive oil. Gives it more texture and can more easily adjust the amount of sesame taste.
I'm obsessed with your youtube channel and I'm not even vegan! But with food like this, I'm rapidly turning more towards a plant based diet and just having fun making all the delicious recipes you have posted.
Different lifestyles have to be taken into consideration. I only have access to dried chickpeas (unless I want to spend a lot of money for canned in a specialty store), and even that is a trick finding them in Mexico. We live on a sailboat, in extreme heat, so to use the pressure cooker on our induction cooktop (to save propane that fuels the galley stove), we have to have all other power drainers off (Air Conditioner, for example), so as not to trip the circuit breakers. If I had access to canned for under $6/can, I would be thrilled!
It’s the aftermath of the pandemic. Food production has been inconsistent. Even consumer-friendly packaging has decreased. It’ll probably improve once supply and personnel ramps up.
Your parents are the sweetest! 🥰 they actually made me feeling kind of proud, that I preordered the minute I saw your announcement 😂 I might be a bit weird, I admit ☺️ And to promote for you as well: my 2 most favourite chickpea recipes are actually both from your Mealplan service 🤭 tried the newest one of the actual week yesterday and I‘m already more than hooked! 😍 Thank you so much for all of your hard work and so many delicious recipes! Can’t wait to get that huge book in my hands! Have a lovely weekend 🌻
🥰 thank you for all the love, Juliette! I’m delighted you’re loving the new chickpea recipe from the meal plans and honored you ordered my cookbook so early!!
Good question. I store them at room temperature in a storage container, but don’t completely close the container, leave it ajar. They’ll stay good for 3 to 4 days, though of course they’re crispiest on day one. You can revive them by tossing them with a bit of oil and spreading them out on a sheet pan and putting them in the oven at 350F for 5 to 10 minutes or adding them to a frying pan with a touch of oil.
Thank you for these great tips! And I loved your parent's promo of your book - they are awesome. If I hadn't already pre-ordered back in March, they would have definitely convinced me too. ; }
Hi Nisha congrats on the new book we just preordered it and my mom wants to know if these recipes will be in the new cookbook as well she really really wants to know so please let us know or she will be very angry like your mom 😂 thanks in advance 🎉😊
lol great question from your mom. There are tons of chickpea recipes in my new book, and a few that are similar to the ones I shared in this video. But in general, most of the recipes in the book are brand new!
Your parents are just great; they seem like so much fun to be around. I already pre-ordered your cookbook maybe a month or so ago, largely because I enjoy trying the fuss-free tasty and healthy cooking tips you share in your TH-cam channel and knew I would like to have such a comprehensive reference book featuring your ideas. I know you said if we pre-order, there’s bonus content. But I feel like we just learned what the bonus of pre-ordering is - not incurring the wrath of your mother!! 😅 Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your cooking ideas here on TH-cam. I hope your cookbook is wildly successful!
You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your support and for ordering early 🥹 There will be actual bonus content that I will announce in the next week or two but I’m so delighted (and so are my parents) that you think seeing them is a bonus enough.
Thanks for pre-ordering my book! 🥳 Don't forget to grab the bonus content by following these instructions: rainbowplantlife.com/preorder-bvf-instructions/
I can’t wait to try this hummus recipe. I pre- ordered “Big Vegan Flavor” and must say I love it. This book is truly the Bible for vegan cooking. Over the years I have been transitioning to a vegan life style. Your book does for vegan cooking what Julia Child’s first book did for French cuisine. Thank you Nisha. Keep the videos coming. Enjoy seeing your parents too.
Great video. Thanks so much for sharing your love for healthy, nutritious, & tasty food! Can you please share what kind of portable stove you're using? I'm looking for something I can use indoors. Thanks in advance!
It's worthwhile to note that chickpeas are about 2/3 carbohydrate, 1/3 protein. I would skip adding grain-type carbs to salads, and would generally use hummus as a condiment as part of a spread with veg/cheeses/proteins or eat it with a spoon.
I love every video you do, but I love it even more when you have your parents on the channel (glad I already pre-ordered haha). Am trying 2 of these recipes this week. Do you think the marinated chickpeas recipe would freeze well?
🥰 thank you Erin! I love having them on so much. I don’t think the marinated chickpeas will freeze that well, but if you try it out, I’d omit the fresh herbs before freezing.
You can pre-order my new cookbook here: bigveganflavor.com. My parents thank you in advance! 🥹
I’ll be ordering. Your parents are adorable 🥰
Yes, your parents are truly adorable!!❤

Really enjoy the recipes, I don’t buy canned chickpeas, but these recipes will up my game even more. Thank you!
OMG, your parents!!!! 😍😭
Everything you make is spectacular, so I'll definitely add this one to my cookbook collection.
Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉
The only promo I didn't skip though! Your parents are the best!
Your parents are a hoot! They should be in the ad biz. Great recipes too. (book pre-ordered btw).
So much flavor. Being vegan actually looks appealing when you are cooking.
My husband cannot go there though. Sooo we will just mix these in. 😊
I love to see your parents on your videos!!
order order preorder! I'm glad i already pre-ordered, hopefully aunty and uncle are pleased with me.
These recipes look delicious! Thank you for the pdf of the recipes!!
Another amazing post! I will say I'll substantially decrease the salt. Best to you and your family, from Colorado!
Your parents are just the best

Those big towels you use look really nice. Where do you get them?
You’re parents are just so cute ❤❤❤❤❤ loved them!!! I hope it’s delivered in Europe.
P.S. I ordered your new book. Woo Hoo.
🥳 thank you so much
I love your parents so much, that I don't want to make them upset. So, book pre-ordered ;)
Can you store the crumbled roasted chickpeas if you make a large batch?
What’s the shelf life of the roasted chickpeas?
For the green herb dressing, is there an alternative to the cashews? I have a severe nut allergy. Thank you!
Can't afford canned chickpeas so soaking and cooking is the way to go! (At least for me) But I will try out these tips and tricks!
OMG I love your parents sooooo hard!!!! 🤣
Would you make undhiyu for us? It’s my favorite Indian dish!
Nisha what brand of blender do you recommend?
Amazing! ❤
The reference to the good book made it extra special. Thank you 😍
What do suggest to use instead if garlic as I have an allergy to it 😢
Your parents are so cute! I’m jealous!!
I wish the Just Mayo was available again where I live.
I live in Florida and found it at Sam's Club and Publix . I do like it very much.
@@deecasale7180 I looked on their website and it’s not available in Vermont.
Amazing, but I get used to the curry of chickpeas, for me the best one regarding that here in my country (Colombia), it is not common to find Indian food, and less likely if it’s vegan
Does this method (the roasting) work well with other canned beans?
Yes, it works! My favorite is with cannellini beans, which stay a bit creamy but crunchy on the outside.
The link to the pdf recipes did not work.
I better get my order in. I don't want to disappoint your parents.
Sound move to get your mom and dad to promote this. :)
Love your parents😂😂😂
Your parents are so cute!
Are they organic??
My parents? Yes, they’re 100% organic.
I just love your parents. Your mum’s exhortation was hilarious. I look forward to receiving your book.
They’re a riot 😅 thank you for ordering my book ❤❤

try adding a teaspon of baking soda to your cooking water. it softens them up so much faster

The only thing better than a RPL video is one with your parents!
I’m so glad you think so! I love having them in the videos!
In summer, when I avoid using the oven, I roast my chickpeas in the air fryer. It works just as well & the house stays cool.
Excellent vegan protein source & a yummy crunchy one too😊
I'm obsessed with your youtube channel and I'm not even vegan! But with food like this, I'm rapidly turning more towards a plant based diet and just having fun making all the delicious recipes you have posted.
I’ve tried all the canned chickpeas but nothing beats pressure cooker chickpeas. And it takes so little time.
Different lifestyles have to be taken into consideration.

@@lisadeharthansen7076true about Mexico where I live 6 months a year. The only canned chickpeas I can find are in a glass jar from Spain. Very pricy!
100% !
I agree!
Thanks for this!! My husband hates chickpeas, so now I have some ammunition to change his mind. Congrats on the book Nisha!!
Ooh yes, I can’t wait for you to change his mind!!
I’m making chick pea blondies today!🥰
Oooh, those sound lovely!
Your Mom is adorable!
🥹 the cutest
I make hummus the same way, but I use much less tahini, a drizzle of EVOO, and a Tbs or two of non-fat yogurt. It tastes amazing!
I’ve noticed the last year or two that I will often get way undercooked chickpeas from a can.
It’s the aftermath of the pandemic. Food production has been inconsistent. Even consumer-friendly packaging has decreased. It’ll probably improve once supply and personnel ramps up.
I found Goya is the best brand for good canned chickpeas. I can get them at the dollar store.
Some brands are really bad for that. They're much better when they've been cooked for a bit
My favorite thing to do as a child was to eat chickpeas straight from the can, with a spoon🙈🤷🏽♂️ I'm sorry but it's just the best
