This looks so good, I want to rush home and try it right now! Thank you for continuing to share your recipes :-)
You are welcome, I do really enjoy sharing my food and recipes here!
@@FoodwithChetna would you please respond to the question of spice quantity used. Your teaspoons look a lot like Tablespoons. Could you please respond?
@@FoodwithChetna Hi , Chetna . How do get rid of the sand in the spinach ? Thanks a lot .
@@zainulzainul1880 always rinse your veggies under cold water :)
@@frostfox1208 @ 0:41 we can see what Chetna describes as a teaspoon. I use that as a guide.
🥺 it tastes like my best friends curry she made before she passed away... I ate and I cried, I cried and I ate in an empty kitchen by myself. My friend was Indian. I'm white. I finally found the taste. None of other curries tasted the same until I made yours. I'm so emotional. No words... 🥺 I can't eat it often. It makes me too emotional. It would make her so proud that her white male friend made it. She can't try it but I know I made her proud. Oh dear Lord I'm so emotional 🥺 thank you...

Her books are awesome.
Starts @ 0:35 Also list of ingredients in order of usage so folks can take a dekko into their inventory to see if they have it all:
- 1.5 Tablespoon Sunflower Oil [0:37]
- 1 Teaspoon mustard seeds [0:41]
- 1 large onion chopped🧅[0:44]
- 2 garlic cloves grated 🧄🧄[0:52]
- 2 tomatoes diced 🍅🍅[0:57]
- 2 tablespoon tomato puree (to enhance flavor) [1:00]
- 1 teaspoon salt 🧂[1:24]
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder [1:24]
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder [1:24]
- 1 teaspoon chili powder [1:28]
- 1 teaspoon garam masala powder [1:29]
_[I prefer curry powder since it doesn't contains cinnamon which makes the result a bit sweeter]_
- 2 tins of chickpeas (Each tin is around 400 grams/14 ounces) [1:39]
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) to 150 grams (5.2 ounces) of chopped spinach leaves
_[I sometimes mix in Kale or Swiss Chard too for that extra extra nutrition._
_Another tip: Instead of spinach, I find the superfood Collard Greens to be fantastic._
_Just remember Collard Greens are stiffer leaves so put them in along with addition of Chickpeas so there's more time for it to cook through]_
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
_[Chetna, notes this balances the taste. I need to try this variation but I find it perfect without also]_
- 1 tablespoon of double cream (optional)
_[Folks, in some comments below have noted using coconut milk instead of cream. I need to try this variation but it sounds/reads great so thank you to them!! ]_
Thanks!
Thank you!
Champion. Thank you!
The real MVP
garhhh ..........Soooooooooo helpful, many thanks👍🏻
Just made this and it tastes AMAZING !!! I used coconut milk as opposed to cream 😊
Thank you for the tip on the coconut milk. It was perfect!
I just moved and made this for a party with neighbors- and apparently the entire neighborhood has heard of this channa I'd made. Now, wherever I go, people keep asking me to make this for them!!! I literally had some of the party guests come up to me thrice to tell me how good it was. You're amazing, Chetna! I've literally made new friends in this new city because of you and your recipe.
This just popped up on my feed today and I’ve just made for my lunch!! Delicious!!! I cooked the sauce a tiny bit longer without lid to thicken up a bit so I could eat it in a wrap without too much escaping! It’s going to be a lunch box staple for me now. Thank you!
Yum!
I drained half the liquid of the chickpeas but your suggestion is great, sort of like a chunky spicy hummus.
I just made this. It was absolutely delicious! The tip to add tomato puree (I used tomato paste) in addition to the tomatoes added a lot of richness, and adding a little sugar at the end made it even yummier. Thank you so much for this great and easy recipe!
Yes helps with the puree
Dear Chetna, I'm Italian and for the first time thanks to you I tried my hand at a homemade curry: MAGNIFICO!!! thank you very much😊
I made this and let me tell you” it’s “FANTASTIC “... Thank you so much for sharing!!!
She's so pretty
Yes very beautiful
Totally agree with you
Yeah looks SO young
You are all a bunch of morons
😆
This was really delicious. Finally, I feel like I've found a great way to make a curry base. Thank you!
Chetna you are amazing! During In lockdown I became vegetarian & wanted to try new meal Ideas. I now make this at least once a week. I know the recipe by heart but I still have the video playing In the background :) I posted this delicious dish on my Facebook & It was a huge hit! So many of my friends & family now make this ❤️
This is the third recipe I have tried and each one has turned out amazingly. Very easy to follow and tastes incredible!
I’m a new subscriber and I love your channel! In just a month I’ve made this 3 times because my picky and meat-loving daughter loves it. I subbed about a cup of canned crushed tomatoes for the fresh tomatoes because I really don’t like out-of-season tomatoes and used paprika because I didn’t have Indian chili powder. Other than that I followed the recipe and it is a new family favorite! Thank you!
Chetna: I made this tonite - my daughter is a little worried about overwhelming curries so I took every spice and just did it by 1/2. I had 4 japanese eggplant from my garden so i sautéed those with the onions and then went forward with the chickpeas. For 5 min before the spinach went in, I simmered in a can of light coconut milk. Let me say: it was just wonderful. everyone loved it!!!
LOL I just realized I never added the sugar but it didn't need it - maybe it was the coconut milk that took care of it.
Wow fantastic
Great idea adding eggplants 🍆 thanks!👏👍
Absolutely amazing!
I've watched a lot of chickpea curry videos, but this is the only one that actually had my mouth watering. I cannot WAIT to try this soon!
Tried this last night and the whole family loved it! I used Oatly cream at the end to keep it vegan. Another easy and delicious winner. Thank you!
I literally JUST discovered your channel! Your food looks AMAZING and I can't wait to try new foods. Your personality is great and you're so beautiful, too. It looks like you REALLY enjoy cooking. Please do more! 😍
Merci Chetna! C'est magnifique. Thank you! From Montreal Canada!
First recipe of yours that I’ve tried and it was delicious! So good that I immediately passed the link around to friends. I can’t wait to try more recipes!
Looks absolutely delicious. And by sheer luck I have all the ingredients already in my kitchen!
That is perfect!
That's the curry I make 90% of the time. Though I usually just fry the onions, wilt the spinach and then chuck in the canned chickpeas and some coconut milk and spice it. It doesn't look (and probably taste) as good as a "proper" curry but it is done within ten minutes wich is super helpful on a stressful day.
If you got more then ten minutes to cook I would allways go with this recipe though.
The best and most versatile recipe I have come across. I’ve done chicken, added different vegetables and pulses as I’ve not always had the ingredients. Even used tinned tomatoes instead of fresh. It’s all delicious. Thank you Chetna xxx
Hi, Chetna! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipes. I made this the other day for my family, and they loved it. Will definitely be making again many more times in the future (especially during these cold months!) Hope you are having a wonderful day and staying safe!
I just want to say, I've been making chickpea curries for years and it never occurred to me to add the liquid from the chickpeas. This has blown my mind! I tried it last night and it made the curry so much richer and gave it a lovely texture. Normally I would've drained the chickpeas and then added water but I will be adding the chickpea water from now on. Thank you so much, Chetna!
Not sure if you’ve seen this elsewhere, but using chickpea water has become its own trend. Called aquafaba it’s being used to create desserts as I recall. I’ve not tried it but looks very interesting.
@@remlya Saw that on vegan week of the Great British Baking Show. Double take!
I made this last night since we are on quarantine at home and it was delicious, Chetna! Thank you so much. My first successful curry! Of course it was my favorite British Baking Star who taught me how!
That is so lovely to hear!
Absolutely love it
thanks
I must try this !!
I love this dish! I saw it yesterday and made it tonight... Delicious!
Please post the ingredients because I keep having to pause the video to get the recipe, lol!
Same! 🤣 I had to think real fast! Good brain exercise...😉
Oh, your timing is impeccable! My wife and I were just trying to figure out what to do with the pile of spinach we bought. Mystery solved!
Glad I could help
I put spinach in almost everything!!
I just came across this video, randomly clicked. And well, i didnt look at the recipie at all, i was just looking at you. Such a good, lively, likeable personality you are. Soo gud. And i subscribed at once. I live in Newzealand. And always look for healthy recipie. Bless you♥️
Magnifique recette 😋
Made this twice now. The wife remarked “the best curry I’ve ever tasted “.got your book and thanks for your dedication and enthusiasm. One lovely lady😘
Wow that is a compliment, this makes me so happy!
Thank you so much I tried this and it was perfect.. I had to change some things because I could not find Mustard seeds.. So I used Mustard powder.. And I has that big leaf Spinach, so I just removed the stalks and Chopped the leaves fine... And it actually tastes like curry, which my curries never do.. They always taste like stew... So I feel as though I have managed to cross a culinary threshold previously unobtainable... 😊 Oh and my cream was off so I used a heavy full cream yogurt.. It worked well....
Mustard seed adds a light bitter note, and entirely different from mustard paste or powder (pungent) in terms of flavour enhancement.
I just made this recipe today and had to send pictures to my family. I’ve never made such a good comfort dish. Now I need to learn how to make gluten free Naan. Although my local Indian buffet would miss me. 😂
I just made this, and oh my gosh, going into my notebook of favorites. DELICIOUS.
Oh my word Chetna. You will turn me into a vegetarian with all of these delicious recipes. I have never bought a cookbook for myself, but I am definitely going to be looking out for yours!! Thank you!!!😊😊
Thats great to hear!
I have been watching your baking show so many time on Netflix lol. Now I can find your TH-cam channel. Love it 😀 😍
Good stuff. I make this a couple of times a week. A knob of butter at the end adds a rich glossy texture.
Just delish!! Thanks!
Great recipe-thanks!
That was great, also added cauliflower & potatoes ....delicious!! Thank you Chetna
Good idea!! Will try
I'd add some finely chopped ginger to the spices and coconut cream at the end.
i really like the fact that she doesn't use coconut cream...
Yes so did I & combined it with rice cooked in coconut milk👍👍👏👏
@@CNik-oy3jx you can do both ways it’s a matter of choice but coconut milk thickens the sauce & give a creamier taste to it!!👍👏👌
Thats litterly the south indian spin on it
Love this! Thanks for the great recipe. I have already cooked something similar but will definitely try it your way. Please post more vegan recipes.
Wow! Gonna try this!
My partner is vegan. I made this last night and it was so delicious. Thank you so much for your video. I like your haircut too❤️
Such helpful ideas and recipes
Genuinely really good
OMG! I missed you. Love you so much. God bless you always.
Would it be possible to share the recipe in the description or as a link?
Look at Garhhh’s comments above. She has noted everything that was mentioned in the video.
I am making this on the weekend. So perfect for March in Canada.
Lovely. Ty
Oh my gosh this curry is so delicious... thank you Chetna for sharing this yummy receipe 😊
My pleasure Amelia, so glad you enjoyed it
You called it vegan ...Then You spoiled it with milk.. Vegan don't drink milk... I will try w.coconut milk.
Yay. It's so nice to see you in TH-cam. You were amazing on Great British Bake Off. 🙂
Made this for dinner today. It was awesome ! Could actually taste the chickpea rather than loads of spices. Loved it ! Thank you.
So easy! Made this last night with spinach from my garden, I added 2 green chillies at the end.I omitted cream for health reasons and only put tiny amount of sugar..... absolutely fantastic (I ate leftovers for breakfast!)thank you so much for this recipe.Take care Aunty
Chetna...your style of presentation is infectious!
Thanks
Thanks Chetna, love your recipes. :)
Thanks Victoria
I wish I could give this recipe 10 stars. I make this so often. I love this recipe!
I love your channel AND your food! I made this and froze a few portions. I defrost then heat up slowly and it tastes nearly as good as when I originally made it. I'm vegetarian bordering on vegan, so this dish is perfect for me! Thank you so much! What an amazing combination of flavors. And YOU are amazing, as well 🙏.
I make this all the time. It’s so delicious. I sneak in some coconut milk as vegan so no cream. Keep the recipes coming.
Thanks
OK so I made this for meatless Monday along with the cauliflower fritters and it was a great success! Please post the recipe so that we don’t have to watch the video to get the ingredients. Thanks again!
I know! I even searched the website but this curry doesn't appear when I type it in the search bar. But nevertheless, due to the simplicity and positive reviews, I'm gonna try it tonight. :-)
I tried it! Delicioussss!
Thank you. I love learning new recipes. I have realized I need to start eating healthier. This is a great recipe to start!
Tried if, my partner took the leftover to work, and people in the work kep asking what is it, and if they can try, and the loved it too.
Tried this but used coconut cream instead of double cream. Thank you Chetna for yet Another AMAZING recipe!
My pleasure 😊
Looks delicious!
I know exactly what's for dinner tomorrow night, Temperature it's dropping well below zero in Chicago we need this delicious curry to keep us warm!!! Thank you ❤️
Finishing touch:
"Add one tablespoon double cream."
[Pours in 1/3 cup. 😂]
I know. Who puts in just a tablespoon of cream !
Is double cream the same as heavy cream?
kc Virtually the same.
Thanks!
I'm going to try it with coconut milk
Instead of heavy cream, would a touch of coconut milk do the trick?
would be great-added dimension :)
I used a big dollop of plain Greek yogurt. It doesn't incorporate perfectly, but the result is really good. If I had good coconut milk (fresh or Aroy-D in the cardboard boxes), I'd definitely try it.
Absolutely. Coconut milk is great with dal, too.
The difference between vegan and vegetarian lol
Absolutely I substitute cream. Milk butter cheese etc with coconut milk or cream
Absolutely amazing!!!! Perfect for a family of four. I didn’t have spinach so I added some broccoli with the tomatoes and wow wow wow!!!!!
Was looking for a vegetarian curry dish to cook and came across this. Fantastic guide! Made the meal tonight and loved it. Liked and Subscribed!
Thanks for the recipe. Here is a tip. Don't cover when cooking spinach as spinach contains heat sensitive Oxalic acid which can escape if not covered, leaving bright green spinach even after cooking. High-oxalate diets have been linked to an increased risk of kidney stones and other health problems
Thanku for the tip.
Can u plz share wht we can eat with kidney stone or kind of pain on kidney sides.kindly share.
This looks soooo yummy! Perfect (and fast) for a cold winter evening. Totally gonna try this next week end! Love your curry series by the way :-)
mrhoward glad you are loving the series!
Love how you add the spices. Beautiful display. Love the vegan curry. Can smell the spices.
Love this recipe
I saw this and immediately hit subscribe x
Yeah!!!!! welcome to the channel
This is the first recipe of yours that I have tried and I have to admit it was absolutely delicious for such a simple and quick recipe I was really surprised at the depth of flavour. Will definitely be trying some more of your recipes if this one is to go by. Just one question you do seem to use a lot of salt in your recipes is this integral to the taste of your recipes or can you reduce it if you are like me and are not keen on too salted food without ruining the overall balance of flavours
What????? first recipe, you need to catch up..... Yes I use salt to taste and this is the amount I think gives the dish the perfect taste, but you can reduce it if you like!
Yes sorry don’t watch reality tv or bake off shows so only came across your utube channel by chance but I feel it is going to be a good find
I’m a new vegan and I’ve just made your chickpea spinach curry! It’s delicious thank you! 🙏🏽
How does look so old yet so young at the same time? She’s gorgeous!
She doesn’t have a lot but presume it’s melanin
For those out there who tend to get farty with legumes, rather do not add the liquid in the tin! Rinse the chickpeas well in a colander, and you will find a lot less of a breeze. I also love to use coconut cream.
Okay, I can suggest you one thing. Yogurt on the side would not make you gaseous whenever you eat beans, chickpeas or any lentils. On the side not in it. Like mix rice and chickpeas and have a yogurt on the side with every spoon.
That is a good idea, as long as it is proper live yoghurt. I do not have a wind problem, being vegan, but I have friends that really suffer!
i rewatch this 100 times so good
Not just another chickpea and spinach curry, this is delicious
OMG! Thanks for listing each spice individually! Most Desis be like "and then add your spices".... I'm like what spices are you talking about???
Ikr!
Because they list it in the recipe?? It doesn’t take much to look at their written out recipe.
Can you add yoghurt or coconut milk instead of double cream?
Yes a bit of coconut will be great, you can also try without any cream too!
Exactly what I was craving tonight. Making it! Thanks 🙏🏽
It is absolutely divine!!! Best Vegan curry ever!!!
I think your “teaspoon” is a tablespoon in the US. SURE LOOKS THAT WAY.
Yes I would say it is more likely a Tablespoon as the chickpeas used are 2 x 400gm.
My thoughts exactly. No way are those teaspoons.
Definitely looks like tablespoon to me
No, especially the amount of salt on that platter.
Ddefinitely doesn't look like a tablespoon at all to me tho. Maybe it is just a teaspoon, you'd be surprised how big a tsp can look sometimes.
One teaspoon looks like two tablespoons. Wth.
Made this so many times and love it ! So I usually add yogurt instead of cream as I usually have yogurt in but last week I didn’t have either ! Improvised by blitzing some cashews with a dash of water into a paste and added it instead. Yum yum ! I’ll be doing it again … wanted to share with anyone wanted that creamy kick without using dairy :)
Thanks for sharing looks amazing
Can the cream be replaced with coconut milk? Thank you 😊
Yes it can
I simply cannot add sugar to this wonderful creation.
Try some mango chutney instead.
You dont have to, it is still delicious without it!
Looks perfect and I subscribed! I may try it with my homemade strained yogurt too but I will definitely try the sweet cream first. .
looks absolutely delicious 😋 thank you
What that's not 1 teaspoon who measured this can someone put the actual true recipe here I would like to make it
She seems to confuse a teaspoon with a tablespoon.
Absolutely NOT, everything is measured, I am an author and never mess with measurements, things might look different because of close ups and different angles!
Yeah, those were not teaspoons! Tablespoons at least, and maybe quarter cups. Looks delicious anyhow.
@@maggiemonaghan5549 Chetna did not agree. She reacted furiously, insisted that what we saw were teaspoons. Maybe she has huge teaspoons in her kitchen.
She isn't confused. Indian spices are finely ground and one TSP looks like what she has measured out. These are definitely not TBSP quantities. She used a TBSP to measure the Tomato Puree and that was definitely a TBSP.
Richard and Maggie, time to go to specsavers. 😁 😁 😅
I just finished eating my first serving. Delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Have had this recipe on my to do list for a while but finally got round to it tonight. It was really good, although my homemade Garam Masala was a little heavy on cardamom. Will definitely be making this again.
I recommend replacing all your white sugar with coconut sugar.
