  • Recipe is here! rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-chili/ PS: We used the term “vegetarian chili” since that’s what most people search for when looking for a bean/no-meat chili, but rest assured, this recipe (like all my recipes) is also vegan!
  • Nisha's dedication to level up vegan cooking = I get to eat like a queen. Thank you!!
  • @glenda7921
    “….run from that recipe”. 😅. I have so much respect for YTbers who actually have an opinion. Often they’ll praise every method and stay neutral about techniques even when they are not going to produce a good result. Nisha your videos are as informative as they are entertaining! Yah to the 🍷
  • Great!! Im sick of channels that just promote simple and 15min recipes with only 4 ingredients! I legit want to take the extra time and effort to make my food taste better! Subscribing right away!
  • @Sarah-un3vk
    That taste test at the end was so fun! You could tell he really knew his chili.
  • FINALLY! Someone else that knows how to cook a “real” chilli! I’m an avid cook myself and honestly, my chilli takes several hours because there’s so many steps in creating layers and depths of flavour. in my opinion, time well spent and it tastes even better the next day. Bravo! Love it. xxx
  • I made this chili this past weekend. It was incredibly delicious and the best I've ever had.. Every recipe I've tried from your collection has been excellent and this one is no exception. Thank you for your awesome recipes and helping me to be a better cook.
  • @LilliumTO
    I went from vegetarian to vegan a couple months ago, and your book on vegan instant pot recipes really helped me!! Thank you Nisha ☺️☺️
  • @Guitarded4
    i made this, it took a WHILE but it was absolutely worth it, the fancy chili powder also got me excited about cooking this. I made a side of vegan rye bread packed with as many seeds as the dough could hold without becoming a crumbly mess and it was honestly a really good combo. this recipe and your channel inspired me to go vegan and my parents said it was the best chili they've ever had even without sour cream and cheese toppings (I insisted that they not un-vegan the VEGAN chili that I had spent the whole day making) it's got incredible depth of flavor, i also tied a bundle of cilantro stems and let it simmer with the rest of the chili.

    Nisha you radiate goodness and kindness, you brought tears to my eyes when you explained why you went vegan in a previous video, you are a modern Disney princess 🦋 beautiful inside and out , kind and talented 🌸 the world needs more people like you
  • I followed your recipe last night (mostly 🤣) and entered my chili In a cook-off competition tonight and placed in the top 3 (2nd out of 8 contestants)!!! 🤩 thank you so much for your tips and recommendations!!!
  • Incredible!!! The red lentil curry was amazing so I had to try this recipe- It was SO goooood!!! Even without the homemade chili or ancho chili powder, just blew my mind!!
  • @RomyDandelion
    Nisha, I've watched so many of your videos and already cooked some of your recipes and I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to be a bit more adventurous with my vegan cooking. Love you and your videos, you are such a treasure 💕
  • Started cooking regularly about 8 months ago and this is hands down the best vegetarian dish I've ever made! Will be coming back for more recipes. Thank you!
  • i cooked this and your cornbread recipes today with my mom for my birthday celebration with family. it was so special and absoluuutely delicious! i was so grateful to treat them to a dish we love but with more wholesome ingredients. thank you 💜💜💜💜
  • @itskylelucas
    Stop playing into my cravings with every freaking video, Nisha!! 😝 I really love the taste tests you’re doing with people, and comparing to other dishes. It’s really cool to see a variety of people rave over your amazing (superior) recipes!
  • @coleg6178
    This looks amazing!!! Cant wait to make this! Please make a cook book not based on strictly insta pot. That book is incredible and you would KILLLL it with a regular cook book. You have such and amazing spirit and great sense of humor. You have some of the best vegan recipes on you tube and they are not complicated!! You make this world better, thank you Love Love Love
  • Just made this, absolutely the best chili I’ve ever had in my life. I wish I would’ve added more peppers. I seen all of the comments about how spicy it was. I guess I do not have baby mouth lol. If you’re looking for a confirmation, this is it! And make you own chili powder I feel like that took it to the next level .
  • I used your recipe as inspo for tonight’s dinner and even though I couldn’t let it simmer for 2 hours it still came out delicious. Everyone loved and praised it, thanks so much!
