[bpz213]

perfect make it everytime

[greenranger8100]

@shittywilly You seem a bit jealous of Shaan. Is it because he is so cute and talented?

[Crewtify]

Could you do some on a Chicken Tikka Massala?

[Crewtify]

Hello there, I'm an absolute fan of all indian dishes - this looks superb food.  Recently my work colleagues bought me a nice tray of indian spices which I hope to use in a curry and this is spot on! Thanks!

[angeleyes6969]

looks real good. "a few of these, bit of kick" what are you putting in at that point? and is that stuff you put for spoonfuls of in just chopped tomatoes? also, i thought nonstick pans shouldn't be heated past 400 and you shouldnt use metal spoons on them?

[kmandeep]

like ur style,u make cooking look full of fun......

[9hawksway]

Absolutely marvellous and Shaan makes it so easy to cook something outstanding. Had us sweating but a real classic.

Shame about the negative comments from the idiot fraternity

[missabultabul]

that looks delicious!! going to make it myself tomorow extra hot!!!

[StakyAll]

Authentic Indian food made with Olive oil..... I don't think so. Thats like making an Italian salad dressing with Ghee

[YouTubzie]

Please turn down the fire, it's changing the climate. Today it was 108 where I live.

[sixxpaccUK]

when are you out mate? can't wait for more ''wicked'' recipes, cheers.

[satchi2k5]

I think we should not use metal spatula on non-stick pan.

Please suggest.

[nopseudosleft56]

@satchi2k5 aaarghh, that was driving me mad too, the nasty scratching noise of a metal spoon on a nice new pan eeekk!! :(

[Slacker1967]

Hi Chef Shaan, I have followed your videos and the chickpea curry and potato curry came out yummy. Now I will try something else of your's. I love your teaching style, not booring but also informative. I hope you continue on like other chefs have done and have a site or something with a twist so we can all have a taste of your delish cooking even if we can't come to your restaurant here in Quebec.

[8627xx]

lol thanx mate 

[flatleythebard]

[soniya30]

[blvk3]

i love how your kitchen equiped with a chinese cooker, that is a power house, u can get as much power out as you want, and you can always turn it down when you dont need as much

[daveh182]

Hey, could you make a Lamb Bhuna in you're next videos its my favorite

[Ganjamule]

[Parleblues]

I think you have a great humorous style, telling it just like it is..... Indian Cuisine plain and simple!

[phyre001]

@Parleblues Uhm... he's Pakistani.

[watchmovies2111]

turmeric for colour, whom are you fooling ? :D

[buddahmaster]

Hi Chef, I think your great and enjoy your recipes. Id like to request perhaps like a Korma type curry can be with Vegetables or Chicken up-to you. Id like to see a proper way of making it with its nice silky gravy (perhaps a quick version restaurant style). Up to you my man keep up the good work :)

[masroorabbas]

kooooollllllll

[fuccons]

I went with 3 green chilis and holy crap it was hot! The good kind of hot :D

[StigEtDump]

Great stuff thanks.

[SQUIDGYSAUSAGE]

Chef Shaan, what did you add (5 spoonfuls of) was it red chillies or tomatoes?

[StopStealingVideos]

@bobbybigbucks no big deal more flavor if whole cumin seed simple just grind them up in ya pestle and mortar,,,nice simple reciepe thnks

[bobbybigbucks]

[sameer84ca]

[Henjo29]

[MrUKIDDING]

im cooking more of my own food now because i dont trust my local curry house, so thanks for vids and im enjoying cooking indian food and thai, hot n spicy yumee

[KeepBritainClean]

Recently been to indian, had some fantastic biryani, the biryani we guys serve in the UK is so different and blend.

Would appreciate if someone could share how to prepare an authentic Indian biryani please.

[Virtuousism]

This is hot hot hot and so is the food!!!!

[MegaStoob]

Have just made the Jalfrezi and it's a superb recipe. Please put more recipes up Shaan.

[h3akalee]

Shaan your ace.

[dazaessox]

my mouth was watering watching this love your humour and style

food looks good mate

[TheIronMan987]

This looks like a Pakistani dish!

[n4narik]

Indian/Pakistani... what difference does 50 years of separation make for a culture that is thousands of years old?

[IndianChefShaan]

@n4narik very true very true......a 60 odd year old border means nothing when it comes to food

[TheIronMan987]

if it means nothing than why not call it pakistani cuisine?

[IndianChefShaan]

@TheIronMan987 I'll call it chinese food then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some people discriminate with food, I don't, that's my point. I just call it Indian out of habit.

[TheIronMan987]

@indianChefShaan: well why dont you change your habit then. why not call it asian food or desi food.

[IndianChefShaan]

@TheIronMan987 defo not, that's being politically correct. Besides, English people wont understand what desi food is, they'll just be looking for INDIAN FOOD!!!!!!!!

[TheIronMan987]

@indianChefShaan: well you could be the pioneer of calling your food desi. There is nothing wrong with being politcally correct. albiet there are some people who take it to extreme forms. English people are not dumb and although they wont understand it at first they will come around to the idea. just like the city called bombay. all the young generation now know it by mumbai. sighhh

[rofldinho]

@TheIronMan987 seriously, very few people care. The term "Indian" when it comes to food covers Bengali, Indian and Pakistani cuisine, and that's pretty much how most people recognise it, so there's no point being pedantic about a generic name.

If one were to follow your logic, you'd actually not bother calling it Pakistani or Indian at all. What you'd want is food named according to the region, as that's where the differences lie in the dishes. Which of course would be a nightmare.

[zairt]

@IndianChefShaan thanks 4 that answer!!me to don't like discriminating against food and arguing on its place of origin.So what i usually do when i cook something indian/pakistani is say to them my version of such and such dish..so that nobody comments.

[TheMindspoken]

@IndianChefShaan 'Chef' sorry but your way of cooking is so utterly disorganized and chaotic, when this is a very easy recipe! You use a metal spoon on non stick cookware? So eventually your dish has traces of Teflon methinks......

[Bhama100]

@IndianChefShaan ..This jalfrezi looks good i have to try it..anyways her ei smy question, why is it that the restaurant food in India tastes so much better than the food here in the US and Uk..what gives, is it because the chefs here r trying to cook for the american/british tastebuds?? I had a chicken bhuna ina restaurant in Delhi called lazeez affair..the best i ever had if someone goes to Delhi check that restaurant out.

[VINDAMIKKA]

Shaan. Love your style and evident knowledge, much fun to watch. You are just so natural with it. Kudos.

[sea200100]

can you show us how to cook chicken with vegtables and rice please. i like your chickend curry easy tasty . but i have note that if you can while you talking write it too it will be great thanks

[saleha707]

chef can you show us how to make behari kababs? and thanks for all ur recipes.

[bladesgore]

Loved the video, went to the website, but couldn't find any recipes please help. Thank You

[h3vj]

Buddy...Your recipe is a big hit in my house.. We just love it. What is not fair is that you have stopped posting new videos..new dishes..How about butter chicken, mutton curry etc..

TRUST ME YOU ARE REALLY GOOD WITH YOUR FUSION COOKING :-)

[IndianChefShaan]

@h3vj - thanks - glad you like em

[puck971]

What kind of chicken pieces did you use? I am guessing it was breast meat. Can you please confirm.

[IndianChefShaan]

@puck971 - breast meat - you know what they say - breast is best - but I'm a bit of a leg man myslef - more flavour

[pamelka24]

can you be my chef?i like it!kiss

[IndianChefShaan]

@pamelka24 - you'll have to ask my wife - lol

[bpz213]

good stuff eveyone  loved it,

now need some madras, korma recipes from you I cant find any decent recipes online

[gautam64]

i was just wondering if the chicken is pre-cooked? also, are the tomatoes de-seeded?

[IndianChefShaan]

chickens not pre-cooked, and the tomatoes are defo not deseeded....that's sad de-seeding stuff....never do it...love nature...lol

[lemmingwilgje]

Going to try this one today - made the bombay potatoes a few days ago and *man* that hit the spot!!! No indian restaurants in my neighbourhood so I'm really grateful for your videos :D

[IndianChefShaan]

thanks for the comp mate, enjoy

[SQUIDGYSAUSAGE]

Chef Shaan, this is fantastic, explained brilliantly!!

Thank you very much for posting this!! We are coming to Harrogate mate!!

[thiswasplanned]

leave it to our motherfucking brown people to sit around and argue about the name of the fucking recipe and who is allowed to lay claim to it.

People, please...cook the goddamn recipe, eat it and call it whatever in the fuck makes you feel proud of yourself.

Chef Shaan, this looks delicious and I can't wait to try it mate.

[abhishek34213]

The jalfrezi dates from the times of the Mughals, when it was created as a way of using leftover meat; the chillies helped to disguise any disagreeable taste. The name comes indirectly from Bengali jhāl, spicy food, and Urdu parhezī, suitable for a diet.

[IndianChefShaan]

Sorry mate but you contradict yourself completely.

Firstly you're right about the left over meats - but it was under the British Raj, the Indian servants would curry up the left over roast meats.

The Moghuls weren't great fans of the chilli - the Portuguese brought the chilli over from the Americas.

By the time the chilli spread the Moghuls were begining their demise

The Moghuls were RULERS of INDIA - they NEVER ate leftover/old meat.

I don't know which pleb gave you this mis-information

[IndianChefShaan]

The name you suggest is a stupid non-sensicle word. Why would Moghuls who were North Indian-centric use Bengali words? Urdu was invented by the Moghhuls in Lucknow - combining Farsi, Arabic, old Turkish, Uzbec &old Hindi - so after going through all that effort to make a new language they then mix it up with Bengali....hummmm.

Why would anyone call a dish spicy diet?

Jalfrezi has always been cooked like a stir fry - what are stir fries? quick fries!

You sound like a YOUTUBE WARRIOR CHEF - LOL

[fitnessfreakgirl]

Shaan in the chicken while making the curry what ingredient did you put in after the cumin and befor the garlic? Im sorry i just cud not catch it. Thanx.

[sb321]

RE:fitnessfreakgirl

The ingredient he put in after the cumin but before the garlic was more CUMIN.

The bit you didn't catch was he said "I'm going to put some more in"

[fitnessfreakgirl]

Thanks.

[IndianChefShaan]

sb321 rules..., yep it's cumin, sorry for the late reply

[fitnessfreakgirl]

Thanks chef.

[IndianChefShaan]

@fitnessfreakgirl - no probs

[jsmith19810808]

I've eaten at your restaurant was ace btw!

Love indian curries their the best ever!

[paulydublinboy]

This is the best jalfrezi recipe Ive ever seen! Excellent. And I love the way you give the history of the dish and the meaning of the indian words.

[fatraju]

Will you be posting anymore dishes? id like to see you make KARAHI! thanks

[astrodude8484]

Great job Shaan! Just one piece of advice .. you MUST marinate the chicken for at least an hour in some curd, salt, red pepper and spices before you mix it in the pan .. without marinating it, just the curry would taste good and the chicken will not absorb the flavor .. also some sugar must be added ... otherwise its great! .. thanks!

[IndianChefShaan]

astrodude - I'm going to have to beat you with my frying pan with that comment ;-)

Yoghurt or curd in my house is used for either grill marinations - chicken tikka,or katchaa gosht birianies.

There is no need to marinate the chicken when cooking a curry - when the chicken has been cooked in the sauce, the flavour/ juices come out into the gravy, This is how us meat eaters have been doing it for centuries.

[jamesyireland]

What chillipeppers are you using Shaan? Thanks!

[IndianChefShaan]

Just normal green chillies from the shops - these tend to be african or indian green chillies

[MrDp123abc]

quality cooking shaan,

i usually have a go at cooking a curry once a week, just the basic stuff though, i'm a serious amatuer

i often use coconut milk in my dishes do you use fresh yoghurt instead ??

[IndianChefShaan]

sorry for late reply......fresh yoghurt is goes well, especially with tomatoey dishes.

Coconut milk is mainly used in South Indian cooking thought.

[mizanuk83]

"Jalfrezi is the delicious sauce that blends together tomatoes, spices, coconut and red peppers - it is the peppers that bring the sweetness to this dish. 'Jal' means spicy in Bengali and 'Frezi' means mix of vegetables. It has North Eastern origins." Care to explain Mr Shaan Khan?

[IndianChefShaan]

what is it with the pro bengali massive who know nothing about food trying to reclaim the word jalfrezi? just because it sounds similar to some bengali words?

your trying to say it's a spicy hot veg curry?

it's not end of discussion.

Jal - comes from Jaldi - not jahl -hot/spicy

frezi - fry.

why would you call a dish HOT FRY

or HOT VEGETABLES or SPICY MIX VEGETABLES - SURELY thats subzi?

your comment is illogical.

YOU HAVE BEEN SCHOOLED ;-)

[ShumonMamu]

I walk the streets of Bangladesh and this is probably the most bought dish over there... and its delicious

[IndianChefShaan]

I've seen Jalfrezi in several Middle Eastern countries.....

[seedhouse2]

Cheers. I shall have another go!

[seedhouse2]

Shaan - I grow my own veg and did this with big fat juicy tomatoes, peppers, onions and chillis. I didn't hold back on the spices either. It was nice and very fresh tasting but lacked that depth of flavour you get in a restaurant. What did I do wrong?

[IndianChefShaan]

practise, thats all.

but that depth is stage/combination cooking - Indian restaurants tend to use different sauces and pastes mix em together, then add the pre cooked meats and there you go....the simple honest truth.

here's a tip - reduce the tomatoes add some tomato puree - taa daa depth - lol

[itellsri]

Hello Shan ....This is Dan and I like your recipes ...I guess its both Awesome and Authentic at the same time ...Thx for your good work ...Anyways can you recommend any brand for pickle as I am in Chicago. Anyways if you have a home recipe for mixed vege pickle can you share ? God bless you my friend !

[IndianChefShaan]

pickle - if ur in the states then the brands would be different....but if you can find AHMED or PATHAKS - then ur onto something.

i'll be doing some vids in the next few months - so i'll probably have a pickle recipe there - just for you - seriously, i will - promise

[itellsri]

Thanks Shaan ! Cant wait to watch more of your recipes ..I tried some of your recipes and they turned out good...The frying of spices in the oil was an eye opener as I used to throw all my spices after the tomatoes/yogurt were cooked ...That changed the flavour profile ..Thanks again for taking the time to respond and teach ... God Bless you my friend !

[Saim7861]

What's the stuff you put in after the cumin seeds?

[Trog1988]

This looks well nice wanna eat it straight out the pan on this vid ha!

There's a problem though! My gf can't eat spicy food but she loves indian food! Think u could possibly show us how to cook a traditional mild dish at all? And also because u use those cookers that have such massive flames, would the dishes u make take much longer to cook on an electric cooker at home? Many thanks in advance!

[IndianChefShaan]

1. you need to change your gf - she's holding you back - lol.

2. unfortunately stuff takes longer at home esp with electric.

3. i'd recommend when you cook, use a very heavy bottomed pan - get the pan hot - it will stay hot.

4. in a few months time i'm looking to do some more vids - will defo be doing a mild vid - but you dont have to put chilli in the curry - mild jalfrezi is cool

[Shom909]

Try it luved it N1 ;-)

[rohmoth]

He actually got it wrong, jall actually means "hot" frazi means "fry" thats why a jall frazi is a hot curry.

[IndianChefShaan]

I'm sorry but Jal comes from Jaldi

jal you're refering to comes from the word jahl - meaning burn,

juhlgia meaning burnt,

jahlan - refers to envy - burning with envy.

garam - is warm,

garmi, hot

hot - when refering to chillie heat would be - zadai mirchai - too hot..

I think you should go google it mate.

besides using the word temperature hot, then fried is a bit silly - Indian food is mostly served piping hot.

I've been cooking since the age of 14 - i think i know a fair bit?

[sweets108]

please do a video for lamb biryani?

[IndianChefShaan]

you never know, your wish may be answered - lol

[pinkrazor80]

When do you put the youghurt or did you already?

[IndianChefShaan]

you can put the yogurt in a few minutes after the chicken

[pinkrazor80]

Dude this stuff is great! :) thanks for the recipies, I always thought chicken jalferazi was a pakistani dish though? I love it though.. I wanted to try something thats not out of a Shaan masala box! hehe

[IndianChefShaan]

lol - it's Shan Masala box - not Shaan - they sell all over the world - clever guys - excellent choice of name though
