Mirchi Ka Salan

[smartguy4urs]

vah reh wah....u r really a great 

[1414ams]

@mrsanakhan..change is for better..lol

[mrsanakhan]

this is not traditional mirchi ka salan recipe. He has changed the entire proceedure

[hydkid1]

I agree this is not Hyd style mirch ka salan. This should actually be without yougurt. I ate it all my life, but never prepared it myself. After coming to US, I was looking for some help and I certainly do not want to preprare it this way.

[tunetopalpalmei]

such a humble person...who would share his recipes without any secrets!! i have tried almost all your recipes...this one is my all time fav.

[ashukuwait]

the recipe will taste better without sugar or jaggery,in hyd mirchi ka saalan sugar or jaggery is not added

[nehamcc987]

his accent his funny kinda insults indians

not all indians speak like that

[jollyjane08]

@nehamcc987 Anybody's accent cannot insult a nationality. And in a country as diverse as India, one can come across all types of accents....

[sskunplugged]

the "little bit oil" is actually lot less when compared to traditional Indian style cooking involving butter, cream, oil etc. I still remember the thick masala and oil in veg and non-veg curries in my friends and neighbor homes. Oh Whew!

[jollyjane08]

@sskunplugged Yeah some Indian homes do that. But the really good cooks (I believe my mom, my grandmom and even myself :P to be part of that category) use minimal oil --just like a teaspoon of oil to make a dish for 4 and it still tastes delicious. The extra oil brings out taste if one does not have the skill to make tasty food without the oil -really good Indian cooks do not do that. Try other Indian friends :)

[patsagreen]

Your narration itself is mouth watering.... no need to say about your recipie :)

[nehamcc987]

@patsagreen that really mean

[safdarq1]

True ... very true. I bet he is from Hyderabad ....

[Eliaziah]

i love this guy..he's really "natural"..unlike these artificial snobs out there!

[nintendork77]

wow little bit 

[honeytbx]

good



[honeytbx]

it is a good recipe.

[superangel207]

he is a messy cook sometimes, threw pieces all around the stove but he is a good cook, full of love for this job

[superangel207]

his little bit is really a big one

the recipe was very nicely done

i will try it

[TheSwadhin15]

Why do you all criticize this good man. At least he is trying to help us learn how to cook nicely. Great job sir.....keep up the good work

[psycraj]

What is this You have almost used every thing in your Kitchen, I am afraid if this is not Real Mirchi ka Salan. It is is a mughal dish and you have made it as western dish, Name it as Soup mei Mirchi, Rather than mirchi ka Salan.

[saajdevil]

some body needs to teach this chef mirchi k salan!!!

mirchi k salan may #1 bari mirch use hoti hai... #2: it should be quite thick!! gravy nae hoti bhaiiii...

[hyderabadistock]

@saajdevil Okay, I will wait till you make it!

[babes8789]

if we boil curd then i will get spoilt isn't it just let me know

[chaiandallthatjazz]

i made this following your recipe...It was so delicious!

[khkhkh9876]

Full of Oil sorry "lil bit of".

[svenkatareddy]

Is it called cheruva?

[bharathreddy74]

Mirchi ka salan is basically a dish from deccan area mostly made by muslims. I dont think muslims use" Hing "in their cooking. Hing is mostly used by brahmins. Correct me if i am wrong

[MaheenNajeeb]

@bharathreddy74 We do use hing especially when cooking daal and sarson ka saag.

[raghavsridhara1]

mirchi ka salan with south indian spices.... touch of hing, mustard!!!!! ??????? chef???

[ihatesql]

little bit = shit loads for vah chef :)

[sumittechkgp]

Hi Chef, Can we make mirchi ka salan with red/yellow/green paparika (these are available here) ?

[sublimecamphor]

[shiulistar]

exactly...too much of oil and hing !! and curry leaves and tamarind in every dish !! :( though im sure it tastes good...

[honeytgb]

his "little bit of oil" is scary. lol.

[efrancesco]

Yea thats a "little bit of oil" when he's on the camera knowing he is watched by calorie conscious crowd. Now think what happens to that "little bit of oil" when no one is watching him... lol

p.s. He is still a great chef and my teacher above all!

[siluromheart]

@honeytgb : Don u think thats what Indian cooking is all about ;-)

[honeytgb]

@siluromheart haha true! :-)

[madhav96001]

[sikandinc]

I think he gets off at the sounds of the Mustard seeds crackling!!

[lammenation]

Man, who wouldn't?

[noorsanm]

m very gud tah recipei

[san5981]

when he says lil bit (of any ingredient) he adds quite a lot

[strander143]

every thing is fine . but amounts :-(

[tripleterrific]

guess u'll find them on his site

[Anand2006]

First of all, great and simple videos, Sanjay. I was wondering if one really needs to add the yogurt to the salan? I have never ever tasted it, but the pictures of the dish I've seen on the net look deep red in color, which to me means, fiery and yummy ;). No offense but, being a fan of the the fiery color and tastes in food, I'd hate my salan to look like "kadhi" when I make it. Kindly advise.

[Nakshitra]

Your recipe and video was excellent. I made it as soon as I saw and it was delicious. Thank you for the awesome presentation.

[shaluuuuuuuu]

i learnt all cooking frm u & i cook everying from ur show now nearly everyday thanks heaps.... again my request i love chinese dishes plzzzz do some chef.... thanks.... keep goin

[PivotSam]

My step-dad could do with watching these, he loves making Indian foods. 5/5.

[albadow]

WAW!

[greeksniper]

thanks Sanjay!When you say coconut powder do you mean coconut milk powder or desiccated coconut?

[Twinman2]

It's desiccated grated coconut :)

[greeksniper]

thank you very much!Do i have to grind it or use it as it is?Will it dissolve in the sauce if i don't grind it?

[Twinman2]

Actually, I just used the desiccated grated coconut yesterday and it was a disaster! It's too small to grind at all, and it kept sticking in the throat and didn't do anything for the gravy or the taste. I think it's best to follow chef's suggestion to use fresh grated (then ground) coconut! A lot of work but I'm sure well worth it! Or maybe canned cream of coconut could do the trick.

[greeksniper]

thanks a lot for that!!god bless you!

[myindore]

thanks

[induschick]

how do you get the yogurt to be so thick?

[choco1154]

indian food is so good becuz they use soo many spices!!!

[skaryot]

Thanks again...

[bestiaccia]

Fantastic recipe, thanks!

[simmica]

can we make with same recipe small eggplant too.

[bkssb]

vahchef, this stuff is complicated...too many ingredients...can we skip peanut,coconut+sesasme seed to make it "lite version"

[plumsfor2000]

The peanut, coconut & sesame seeds acts like a thickening agent to the gravy apart from the good taste. I think it's a must for this recipe.

[plumsfor2000]

If these ingredients are not added it will taste like gujrathi kadi with green chillies.

[rocket444]

I have been promoting your videos to everybody i know.. here and back home in India. You certainly are providing great service to 'DESI' living abroad. absolutely love your videos. I think they are very professional.

[rocket444]

Thank you soo much Vah Chef.

Please include the following on ur vidoes:

1. exact amount of spices, onions, chicken etc and the number of people the dish will serve.

2. please list out all the ingredients at the very start, like you have done in most videos.

including the amount along with it will solve both purposes.

[Chivalryaintdead]

I have a question about that ginger paste. Does that come premade, and is that something you can make easily? I tried to search your previous videos, but didn't see a show about it.

[MissTruly]

He posted one for ginger garlic past about 2 months ago. It's still there.

[Chivalryaintdead]

ok I'll look again, thanks.

[CosmicLights]

Another great cooking lesson. This one made me so hungry just watching you make it! Thank you

[Chivalryaintdead]

Wow man that was a ton of spices. Thanks again for opening my eyes on how to cook these exotic dishes, it has always been a mystery to me.
