    Just finished eating the chana masala I made from your recipe. I doubled the recipe and used soaked dry bean. I omitted the oil, too. The best cm I have ever had! Thanks so much!

    I'm new to Indian cooking, but I like most of what I've made. I grow my own tomatoes and can or dry them for winter. I use about 50 qts salsa, 40 qts sweet chili sauce, and 100 qts canned tomatoes a year besides all the fresh ones we can eat. That takes a lot of tomato plants.

    First time making Indian dish and it was yummy! I used 1 chile serrano(without the seeds) instead of 2 and it was spicy! Husband was sweating up a storm while eating this! lol.

    I noticed that most of your recipes included sauteed onions. Onions give off a lot of water when frying, so you could avoid hundreds in calories and fat by eliminating your use of oil. I keep a little squeeze bottle of water at the stove for that purpose. The salt could also easily be cut in half or more, as most of us are beyond our 20's…

    I like your recipes and presentation, and just ordered your book tonight; I am looking forward to checking it out.

    Just discovered you tonight, I'm very impressed how much energy you have put into all your projects that you do, another way of putting it is your work you're freaking butt off, anyways I'm very appreciative of that, yes of course we want more Indian recipes, one of my favorites is aloo gobi, chilli Chicken, chicken curry, I love goat Curry but goat is not easy to find so perhaps I would use lamb, or oxtails. You're such a sweet young woman, I'm betting you're getting a lot of proposals out there. Anyway thank you very much. 🌷

    I took out the seeds, chili powder, and chili’s and added another can of chickpeas. Turned out great. I’m an agnostic atheist but I have found god through this dish, god bless you.

    It’s my favorite. I use Amchur at the end. Sweet Mango powder. We have 2 Indian grocery stores, Himalayas and Touch of India, in my neighborhood so I never run out of spices or dal. Sugarland has a ton of great Indian stores. Harwin is another great neighborhood.

    Please don't judge the entire contiguous land of the US based off your regional experience. The tomatoes where I live (Midwest) are exquisite.

    Facetiousness aside, thank you for the video I'm really enjoying this meal!

    But canned tomatoes aren’t fresh. And the USA is a big country — perhaps you might be able to find some good tomatoes somewhere instead of slating the entire country as not having any good tomatoes?

    Mine has literally just come up to pressure and I am now waiting for the Instant Pot to do its magic on this recipe. First time attempting a traditional Indian dish and I am so excited to see how it turns out. The smells emanating from the kitchen are telling me I am going to be a very happy pappy shortly!

    PS – Kitty and The Pooch have their nostrils twitching in anticipation of just what Dad has concocted.

    Wow, great video. I love the explanations of why to do certain steps, and the shortcuts for using US domestic alternatives. It's a well thought out and friendly approach, I wish more videos were like this!

    Hi di…love this video thanks so much for showing us how to use the instant pot for this dish. I'll just say add a tablespoon of besan (gram flour) in your tadka…itll blend everything together and get rid of that wateriness…itll make it more rich and creamy…but thank you…awesome
