"There are measurements of both cups and grams in the blog post" Never have I heard more beautiful a sound.
-
We used to order chicken tikka masala once a month before going vegan and have never found a vegan version we really loved. Thank you for making my vegan Indian food dreams come true!
-
I thought I was the only saucy indian snack in his life LOLLLL Nisha I love you so much
-
So many non vegans wonder what eating vegan is likeā¦as in āisnāt it super boring and tasteless?ā I think Indian flavours and techniques are def one of my favourite go tos because of complexity. Will make this one for sure next time Iālm hosting āsoon to beā vegans who arenāt quite there yet. Thanks Nisha & Max!
-
Tried this one out today. Also used mortar and pestle for the first time. Nisha, I would NEVER find anything even close to this in my city. Anything Indian and vegan is merely okay in local restaurants. But this curry is not just food, it's an E X P E R I E N C E. Thank you so much. You are indeed a talented a cook, a magician and a scientist.
-
This was delicious and quite spicy. We served it with a dollop of the kite hill Greek āyogurtā, and that was amazing. We strongly recommend adding that as a serving suggestion. It also works well with cauliflower alongside or instead the tofu.
-
It's nice to see that there is no complacency at all with this channel. The editing, the camera work, the presence, the "writing", and the recipes just keep getting better and more captivating.

Nisha, I donāt know where to start thanking you from the bottom of my heart for all the amazingly good recipes you design. I did not even intend to be vegan and for the past year ever since I am following you, I found myself eating mostly vegan - mainly your recipes and variations of your recipes. I think what stands out in your work compared to the others is the fact that you create complicated and sophisticated cuisine that take a lot of work to bring out all the great tastes of the ingredients. I have seen this very clearly in your Indian and Mexican recipes and have cooked some of your recipes (like Malai Kofta and crunch wrap supreme)n and nobody noticed they were vegan. Honestly many of your recipes taste better than the original version - mainly the Indian ones are awesome! Thanks a lot for all these great work, creativity, attention, precision and hard work, not to mention your unique sense of humor and intelligence that makes all these videos not only a cooking class but a means to smile, chill and lighten up in this crazy messed up world. You are the best!

Ok, I just made this. It is SO GOOD. There were some ingredients that I didnāt have or couldnāt find and it still turned out delicious. I also used cauliflower instead of tofu.
-
This was my first (mostly) vegan dish I've cooked and wow! Soo good! The idea of tearing the tofu for that added texture is ingenious! We have baby mouth so we omitted ALL the chillies and it was perfect. This will be on rotation quite often. Thank you!
-
Anyone who wishes to replace meat with something fleshy or non meaty could try jackfruit instead. Believe me its so full of texture and taste.
-
Made this tonight!! Unbelievable!! Maybe the best dish I've ever assembled haha! Thanks for this amazing recipe! š šš

The anjarai petti you use to store your spices reminds me of home! ā„ļø Itās such a classically Indian thing, and I didnāt expect to see that on YT today. š„ŗ Iāll now continue watching the video.
-
Hi Nisha, I made this last weekend and it came out absolutely delicious. It was quite spicy, but everyone loved it. thank you for sharing the recipie. I had never thought of "chunking" the tofu, but that was a grreat tip for all the flavors to coat and absorb.
-
Wow that is high praise! Even though it is a lot of ingredients, Iām convinced its worth it. You make the tastiest recipes. Ive only made two of them (red lentil curry and the gremolata that I now put on EVERYTHING) so far but they never disappoint. Thank you for sharing them with us! Please keep it up!
-
As a Brit, chicken Tikka Masala is a fave and was probably the first Indian food I tried (though allegedly invented in Glasgow, I believe it was still created by an Indian person, so it counts in my eyes!). Since going vegetarian I mainly eat vegetable-based curries or paneer masala but Iām looking forward to trying this as a plant-based version! I also love that you encourage using the coriander stems - I do the same so as to reduce food waste and get the most out of the flavour!
-
Outstanding - this is an instant staple for us. Iāve also used the cast iron + broiler method to make a batch of tofu for tacos and for fried rice. Thanks Nisha!
-
Looks incredible! Thank you, Nisha! Would you consider doing a video about Indian spices (or pointing me to one you may have already posted), what kinds to have on hand for the majority of recipes, how to store them (including in a humid environment - I'm in Hong Kong where it's humid most of the year), etc. I would love to know more about the spices and how to use them, but they're a bit daunting sometimes. Thank you again!
-
There are many things to love about your videos, what puts them over the top for me is the pacing of presentation; precisely organized, I can learn without boredom.
-
that looks amazing. I love that you guys aren't afraid to share both healthy recipes and these more decadent ones.
