I started cooking in an Indian Food in my best friends restaurant in 1967 summers during college, it was very popular with the Yale students and faculty, every night was a full house, I still cook Indian every week, I have been vegetarian since 1962, and vegan since 1980. I catered for 35 years, and I cooked dinners for my Episcopal Church to raise money for various funds. I'm 75 an retired and I love South Indian food.

Thank you all so much for everything you do. I've had 5 heart attacks and nine, yes nine, bypasses. That was all 10 years ago, and through a WFPB oil free diet, I have healed my heart. ❤

I would have loved to see a video of your field trip to the Indian grocery store. Sounds like fun. I love your videos. Your mother daughter relationship is precious.

Would like more recipes with everyday ingredients

Would love to see her make the cauliflower fritters.

I made this today. We do happen to have an Indian market nearby. I got a chili and some "chhole masala" (amongst other things). I used an entire de-seeded pepper and 1 T of the chana masala. I might use 2 T next time. I didn't think it was too spicy. I would totally make it again, but maybe more sauce because I used 2 cans of chickpeas instead of the 1 1/2 cans, so it wasn't very saucy. I love, love, love Indian food.

The lemon pie bars in your new book are so so delicious! It was my son's 17th birthday yesterday and he picked them for his birthday dessert. Thanks for such a great book!

Ladies, I got your cookbook last week and it is PHENOMENAL. What a resource. Thank you!!! 🥗💪

I love this woman’s peaceful vibe. How refreshing! You must make a vid with her running with the fork. Chole is one of my fav Indian dishes. Chana masala is similar to pumpkin pie spice. Thx for another great video

Yum! Indian food is my favorite! Coyne, I hope you write a WFPB Indian cookbook or start your own YT channel. Yes, please do have Coyne back. Loved this video, thanks, ladies! 🥰 (Chickpea flour is aka besan in my Indian grocery store.)

This was such a wonderful video!! Perhaps your best yet! I appreciated the “edit” suggestion of 2 T to a teaspoon for a first time try particularly since I’m new to this type of dish. What a delight to feel a guest in the kitchen with your friend as you truly let us learn the preparation tips needed to succeed in making this dish at home! We have an Indian grocery that I will look forward to shopping at now! I love the new cookbook and hope you will do a video of every single recipe in time! The educational articles, the inspiring warrior stories, and the spectacular colorful photography will keep our meal planning exciting for months as we cook through the whole book of incredible recipes! It’s a fun adventure in every way and I want to purchase a copy for all my friends who wonder about how we are eating plant based. Jane and Ann you have brought so much health and inspiration to our family! Videos like this are incredible tools to help us continue on the journey and nourish our families! Thank you!!

I just got your new book. It's wonderful. I got the spiral bound with lies flat on the kitchen table.

New to this, just bought your warrior women book and engine 2, loving it. Helle from New Zealand

I found a lovely Indian grocery store in my hometown and bought all spices for this recipe and more! Met delightful family who own the store/restsurant and they were so pleased to walk me Thu the aisles and introduce me to spices, Grains and Chutneys. Can't wait to create today!

Hi hi! I bought this book, and I love it can't wait to try all these mouth watering recipes 😋 thank you for all that you guys have done for the plant based community 😊

My daughter is a nanny for her second family from India and the spices and smells are amazing. It was really our first introduction to their meal structures, and their most interesting ways to make vegetarian dinners amazing. Once you try it, you are hooked. Delicious.

Just love love love the new book. Xxx

Thank you so much for doing Indian cuisine! I love it because it's so vibrant and flavorful. It makes my mouth do the happy dance!!! 😊

I love Indian food but have had to give it up due to the oil, ghee and coconut milk. It is so wonderful to see this easy, authentic and healthy update to a favorite dish! Now if I could find a healthy baingan bartha and biryani… ❤️

Jane, this scarf is the BEST of any scarf I’ve seen on you! You flatter it!

Mung dhal can also be boiled to a dry consistency and used as desert. Mash it and add a pinch of ground cardamom and sweetener of choice. Shredded coconut is optional.

I got my copy on launch day and have made wonderful recipes already. The Tofu chorizo is wonderful. My husband enjoyed the Blueberry Corn muffins (leftovers in the freezer for another day!). Pepita granola, marinara sauce, Thai peanut sauce; all delicious. I know I am going to wear out this book!

Oh yes please cook dhal! It’s my dessert island dish! I could live on it 😂

Excellent, thank you!

What a wonderful presentation!! Thank you so much 🕊

Just ordered the book! Can’t wait! Love all the recipes on your channel so far! 🤗

Nive to watch your cooking still have to try some thanks for posting

Looks yummy! Can’t wait to try. I love Indian flavor- and looking forward for an excuse to go to the Indian grocery store. An adventure!

Very nice recipe !!!✝️❤️❤️

I’ve watched this three times and love learning about the Indian food and spices. We always get this at a restaurant. Can’t wait to visit an Indian grocery store now! Thank you!!!!

I recently started making Indian dishes and I had never seen Hing(Asafetida) until I ordered for a recipe but had heard my grandma talk about people wearing asafetida bags to keep from getting sick during the influenza days. My mother said the smell was so pungent you didn’t get sick because no one would come near you.

I received your cookbook last week and sent to two of my daughters in law and today sent it to 3 of my grandsons partners. Big hugs to you both. The book is super and terrific.

I Make a version of this at least once a week! Yum yum! Also do a version with garlic, onions, tinned tomatoes and herbs. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

You can find hing in a Sri Lankan grocery store also, ask for perumkayam

I love your channel. I’m going to buy your book! Jane, next time please give your guests a chance to talk. You kept interrupting her.

besan is another name for chickpea flour..love indian food...keep recipes coming!!

None of the grocery stores near me have chana masala, but they do have garam masala and I found I can sub in the garam masala and add some lemon juice to mimic it

What is the name of your guest cook in today's video? It was very hard to decipher when you introduced her at the beginning.

Like your recipes! Are you talking about besan? Which is also called gram or channa flour.

Looks delicious! I’m definitely going to purchase your book. My only complaint is that you guys are talking over each other a lot and pretty loudly lol!

omgosh i’m so happy that you showed up my feed i just lost my mom to congestive heart failure and my dad has it to i have high cholesterol and there so much mixed into on this topic of diet i cut out all dairy meats and i’m on my way to a healthy lifestyle and will order your cookbook soon oh do you use oils i was using extra-virgin olive oil, but I was told if I use it to just use very little?

💜💜💜💜💜

You can also make it with black channa too.

Asafoetida is readily available in UK supermarkets now!

I didn't know there was black mustard seeds, they don't have those where I live is yellow ok?

It is Garam Masala I think. Hi Ann, from Ellen Harding

What are the names of the seasonings that were used?

Chana flour is called Besan flour!

Hopefully, people with gluten allergy check the ingredients before they buy. Asafoetida (hing) has a filler which is wheat starch. It has great benefits -- easy digestion of the meal. Highly diluted paste with water rubbed around a new born's Tina toddler's belly button eases stomach gas.

Besan! 😄 You can use besan, chick pea flour, to make lots of Indian food. Very often used in the batter for pakoras (veg fritters), different kinds of breads, kadhi, and even different sweets.

I will cook this tomorrow. There is another name for Asant: Devil‘s Dirt. When I heard for the first time „I love to put Devil‘s Dirt into my rice..“ I wondered why anybody would like this. 🙁 Everything to eat with the devil in its name seems to be good.

The crepes, did you mean Masala Dosa...they are wonderful...the batter is allowed to ferment..the crepes are thin and crispy and filled with a potato mixture...A native of India taught me how to make them years ago...she also took me on a field trip to a local Indian grocery....I love Indian food and used to make it all the time...I don't know why I stopped..maybe b/c we moved and there was no local supply for the Indian supplies that are critical to Indian food.

What's the name of the seasoning used on onions with the mustard seed?

Gram flour or besan are names for chickpea (or garbanzo) flour.

Chickpea flour is besan. Pronounced bay-sahn.

Ladies calm down talk one at a time talking over each other is hard to get all the input

Hate to be critical but the whole idea of mustard, cumin or other seeds in Indian cuisine is that you pop them in oil to season the base for the other masalas. Same with whole masalas like cardamom pods, cinnamon or coriander. With no oil, I think you just end up with raw seeds. Fun video to watch, though. Glad to see Indian cuisine becoming more commonplace.

Besan or chickpea flour

Lolll gorey 😂

Serrano chili’s …

Going to buy the book, please stop cutting off Anne when she's trying to tell us something.

Why not look in the index

Besan is another name for chickpea flour

Is chat masala the same?

Besan, or chana besan.

It’s called besan

Chana masala does not have oil

Jane, can you please stop trying to be the center of attention and let your guest speak?

awkward one since the guest avoids looking towards the camera, her gaze is always averted

Maybe they should go back to the India grocery store with her and bring a camera.

The esselstyn ladies are always sòoo overly excited and get into a bit of a frenzy if they aren't calmed down. I still don't see how Anne can function that scarf every show. Who cooks in a big bulky scarf.
