Never have I heard more beautiful a sound.

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.

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!

[glenda]

So many non vegans wonder what eating vegan is like…as in “isn’t it super boring and tasteless?” 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 I’lm hosting “soon to be” vegans who aren’t quite there yet. Thanks Nisha & Max!

[mehrnooshvahidpour]

Nisha, I don’t 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 didn’t have or couldn’t find and it still turned out delicious. I also used cauliflower instead of tofu.

[gauriganesh]

I thought I was the only saucy indian snack in his life LOLLLL Nisha I love you so much

[billschultz]

This was delicious and quite spicy. We served it with a dollop of the kite hill Greek “yogurt”, and that was amazing. We strongly recommend adding that as a serving suggestion. It also works well with cauliflower alongside or instead the tofu.

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 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!

[disregardable]

that looks amazing. I love that you guys aren't afraid to share both healthy recipes and these more decadent ones.

[ANEWCreationLimited]

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!

[manmohanr]

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.

[ABisdoingjustfine]

The anjarai petti you use to store your spices reminds me of home! ♥️ It’s such a classically Indian thing, and I didn’t expect to see that on YT today. 🥺 I’ll now continue watching the video.

[matthewludlow]

Made this tonight!! Unbelievable!! Maybe the best dish I've ever assembled haha! Thanks for this amazing recipe! 👏 😁😁

[lilianadominguez]

I am Mexican and love Indian food. I have made a few of your recipes and they have come amazing😋.

[terrirideout]

For those of you wondering if you should make this dish….just do it! Nisha knocked this out of the park! I made it and it’s unbelievably delicious and plan to make it again soon. I am going to serve it to my carnivore friends and expect to be asked for second helpings. Thank you, Nisha! We are the beneficiaries of your talent.

[michelleanderson]

I just wanted to tell you that you have truly changed my life with your delicious recipes. I have been a vegetarian for many years (nearly vegan but I won’t give up cheese 🤪) and my favorite ethnicity of food is Indian, but I grew up eating it with meat as the main protein so I’ve been learning how to incorporate tempeh and tofu and lentils and chickpeas as the protein in all of my Indian favorites. Your recipes are always significantly more flavorful than any other ones that I have tried online. I bought your cookbook and I love it. Thank you for putting in so much time and effort into recipe development and testing to give us such amazing recipes for free on your YouTube channel (and blog). Also your helpful tips regarding substitutions and different preparation methods is my favorite part. You changing your career from lawyer to Chef has been a blessing for all of us. Sincerely, someone who has watched every video you’ve ever released at least 3 times 😋

[hollylussier]

I will make the hour drive to the closest well stocked store for these ingredients, that looks awesome.

[jackiecuba]

Dear Nisha, I seriously don't know what I would do without your AMAZING recipes. I'm not exaggerating! 90% of what I make in the kitchen is from your channel. Thank you so much for all you do and please don't ever change your style. Xo 💗
