    Btw this Chana Masala recipe is not also my chickpea curry recipe 😅 totally different
  • Well done 👍 one feedback, if you are adding high amount of dry spices in your recipe make sure you cook it well in oil before you add water to make gravy. Raw spices are difficult to digest hence need to be careful with the quantity. Alternatively we sometimes add water to the spicemix to make a thick paste before adding to the pan for cooking that ensures it doesn't get burnt.

    So far, I've cooked your Creamy Coconut Rice with Spiced Chickpeas and this dish (Chana Masala), and my mom and I sat and enjoyed it, and we kept saying out loud that we couldn't believe (a) that we cooked Chana Masala, and (b) that it tastes as amazing as it does, and (c) that we're eating vegan meals ... and loving them! You are positively impacting my life and health with incredible food and flavors, and I can't even tell you how much I appreciate it. Thank you, Andrew, for this channel and for your incredibly delicious recipes.
  • @tessadatch4913
    I took some chickpeas out of my freezer yesterday thinking I would make some hummus for the week. But now I have ended up with a delicious pot of chana masala. You are very powerful, Andrew!
  • @MjaySenoj
    I made this and your butter cauliflower curry and both of them are absolutely amazing and filling 🙌 you’re the reason I have garam masala and turmeric lol I’m not vegan by any stretch but I’ve been trying to save money by not buying meat and instead investing in better quality ingredients. Thank you for helping me try something new :)
  • @Zunderfeuer
    I myself am neither Vegan nor Vegetarian but a friend of mine recently turned to a vegan diet and I will definitely recommend your channel to her. I like the way you cook and bring a very big calm into your videos. Best wishes from Germany
  • @matthewrick
    Love the presentation as always. The ongoing misadventures of the little whisk 😂
  • @hn7933
    You legit make cooking so easy, I appreciate the motivation and recipes.
  • @rowdyproudy2242
    2nd recipe I've tried off your channel. I made this for my family, and it was an instant hit! Appreciate you helping nourish the soul through your passion for cooking! 🙏
  • @taymck4144
    “No great whisk, no great reward!” I mean, we all take ‘whisks’ in the kitchen with new recipes, and yours are chef’s kiss 😘 delish!
  • @RaheemBuh
    Really love the way you structured the video. The cuts, timing, audio balance, and honestly everything was very well done. I don't subscribe to a single cooking channel but this video changed that. Chana masala is my vegan wife's favorite dish of all time, thank you for allowing me to give that experience to her. Cheers!
  • @Bobby_Digital37
    My favorite Indian dish of all time!! Can’t wait to try this recipe out!!👍🏽
  • Oh my! Made this for dinner this evening because my pantry had virtually all the ingredients except the Garam Masala which I promptly located in the local grocery store. What a wow meal! Even the carnivores devoured it 😊 Many thanks for sharing.
  • @kerryryan5116
    My mate, of Indian decent, recommends slightly smashing the chickpeas before adding. Increases the surface area for the sauce to stick to....greetings from Australia.
  • @nbarclay1000
    Absolutely delicious! Thank you for such incredibly flavoured dishes.
  • @itgetter9
    Yum! I'm going for this one, too! Thank you so much!
