As a 56 year old woman, love cooking, thought I'd nailed a chilli con carne over the years!! Wrong!! Then I tried this after cooking your curries (madras a hubby fave) and we were blown away. Husband actually said it was the best chilli I'd ever done. Had to fess up of course and admit I got the recipe off you Al lol! In fact, husband now comes to your channel to get ideas for his popadom salads, and he uses those now. So a big thank you for helping me bring a smile to hubs face (he's a victor meldrew lol). still working my way through your curry recipes, but always have the base gravy at the ready in my freezer. Can't believe how easy they all are. once you have your base gravy, you are literally talking minutes to throw a delicious curry dish together. Love the way you are also showcasing other family meals, like this one. Keep em coming, and to anyone thinking of trying this, go for it, you are in for a taste explosion!!
Al I just made this chilli con carne and it was gorgeous!, I used the cinnamon like you said and it gave it a lovely taste, thanks so much for these recipes, you have enriched my life of food so much, I’ve tired so many of your curry’s as well and I’m getting good at them now thanks to your teaching methods. I’m going to try your beef madras tomorrow :-) Thanks again Al
Well, i made this chilli recipe this evening and it's a yes from me! Only thing i did differently was less kidney beans, 1 tin of tomatoes and one chicken stock which I've never put in before! The cinnamon stick is a game changer. Just wow. Delicious!
Hi Al when can we expect the next dish ? I've cooked most of your curries now and need new inspiration I've tried other web sites but none match up to yours when it comes to BIR curries you seem to nail the taste each time. waiting in anticipation
I always put a big spoon of black treacle with mine and it always puts a serious bit of depth to the dish but im definitely giving the cinnamon a punt, cheers Ali 🍻
Will try the cinnamon next time I make this though will continue to add about 4-6 squares of dark chocolate to mine and can recommend this as it adds a silky texture to the dish and this sticks to the roof of you mouth when eating it.
hi,do you have a list of all spices needed,tried a few of your recipes and found did not have the correct spice,is there a list of most used,so we can go buy each of them.great videos and recipes
Made this last night and it was absolutely fantastic the missis loved it too best one I've made and I've tried a few gonna do some meat balls on bbq next time and add those towards end thx Al great recipe
Pretty much identical to the way I cook mine except I use knorr beef cubes and the final magic ingredient at the end - a chunk of dark chocolate as it makes it richer and more velvety. Give it a try next time. keep up the good work.
I will try the chocolate addition to see what it is like. I've tried all the different variations of stocks and found knorr chicken with an oxo to be best combo.
I haven't a clue what the problem is with adding cinnamon to chilli? It''s fantastic. Nice recipe, although personally I am way over mince and prefer to use brisket for a bigger depth of flavour. Made your Chicken Bhuna on the weekend and it was sublime.
Hello Al, I been following your recipes for quite a while but you seem to have gone off the scene - missing your Indian cooking vids - hope you're well, what's happening mate?
Another gem. well done Al. Never used cinnamon or cumin in Chilli. My wife does not like cumin.Any thoughts on another flavour which may be used instead of cumin? Excellent presentation as per usual. 'nuff said.
Hi James. You can add at the onion stage or during cooking after stock and tomatoes are added. So frustrating when you miss a bit out. (Scream). I'm fine now lol
Al, try that recipe with 5 or 6 fresh green finger chilli’s and 1 / 2 teaspoon of good honey, put the honey in when you fry the onion off, also a pinch of fennel seed 👍 boom 💥
Al could you show us how to make keema curry, I’m struggling to find a good one there’s that many different recipes how there tried some and they was rubbish. Cheers

Been making this 4 years now and everyone agrees it's a fantastic recipe
Happy Sunday folks...cooking this afternoon and this is going to be todays offerings. Cant wait 😊
Just cooked this today Al, I dont know why I have waited so long, absolutely delicious.
Glad you enjoyed it
Have I missed something? When did you add the garlic?

Hey Al, is all okay? Long time no see 🤔
Well, i made this chilli recipe this evening and it's a yes from me! Only thing i did differently was less kidney beans, 1 tin of tomatoes and one chicken stock which I've never put in before! The cinnamon stick is a game changer. Just wow. Delicious!
In your ingredients you put 1.5tbsp of cumin,but you say 1tsp,which one do you mean?
Gonna try that one al, my mouth is watering already.
Hi Al when can we expect the next dish ? I've cooked most of your curries now and need new inspiration I've tried other web sites but none match up to yours when it comes to BIR curries you seem to nail the taste each time. waiting in anticipation
Not gunna lie best chilli con carne I’ve ever tasted , that’s with out red wine as well ,
Best Chilli ever and I am 65 so been cooking chilli for years. This is fantastic
Try adding some seared t-bone steak chunks, peppers, fresh chillies, and a piece of dark chocolate
Would never of thought to add a cinnamon stick and cumin but the results were stunning, cheers Al. Highly recommend this recipe to everyone!
Can you use cinnamon powder instead of a stick of cinnamon? If so how much would you recommend please?
Hey Al basically the same as my home recipe however I use Guinness rather than red wine! Fab flavour! I’ll try yours next & see which I prefer! 🥰
I'll have to try Guinness 👍
Did you serve this at your Chile con Carnival?
I always put a big spoon of black treacle with mine and it always puts a serious bit of depth to the dish but im definitely giving the cinnamon a punt, cheers Ali 🍻
Hey Al is the channel still up and running ? I hope your good and looking forward to more recipes 😊
Another quality dish Al. Only had one tin of beans available but this didn't spoil the dish. Thanks for another great recipe
Thank you so much Al, just made a batch of this, decisions now, chilli or curry? Keep them coming chef, excellently presented and easy to follow👍🏻
Will try the cinnamon next time I make this though will continue to add about 4-6 squares of dark chocolate to mine and can recommend this as it adds a silky texture to the dish and this sticks to the roof of you mouth when eating it.
hi what is that make of cook pot you use there?
what is difference for you by cooking with balti pan and a karahi please?
hi,do you have a list of all spices needed,tried a few of your recipes and found did not have the correct spice,is there a list of most used,so we can go buy each of them.great videos and recipes
What did you do with the garlic cloves?
Hey Al that's a great pan you cooked the dish in and the cinnamon is quite different! Lovely! great vid and recipe
Made this last night and it was absolutely fantastic the missis loved it too best one I've made and I've tried a few gonna do some meat balls on bbq next time and add those towards end thx Al great recipe
Didn't have the cinnamon but still turned out great I roasted a minni red bell pepper and scotch bonnet and blended those with the toms fantastic
As always a great video, could I asked where you got the small spice bowls from? Thank you.
Forgive me if I missed while skimming through but roughly how long does this take to cook? Looks great btw! Cheers
35 minutes
You can't beat A good Chilli Con-Carne, I will definitely be making this it looks delicious Thank you, Al,
Pretty much identical to the way I cook mine except I use knorr beef cubes and the final magic ingredient at the end - a chunk of dark chocolate as it makes it richer and more velvety. Give it a try next time. keep up the good work.
I will try the chocolate addition to see what it is like. I've tried all the different variations of stocks and found knorr chicken with an oxo to be best combo.
Cheers mate - will try it next time @@AlsKitchen
You need to do more videos ... they r top class 👍
I haven't a clue what the problem is with adding cinnamon to chilli? It''s fantastic. Nice recipe, although personally I am way over mince and prefer to use brisket for a bigger depth of flavour. Made your Chicken Bhuna on the weekend and it was sublime.
Cooked it on Sunday. A bit sceptical about the cinnamon, beforehand, but I'm a convert now. Thanks Al.
Wow looks great! Def be making this over the weekend. Thanks Al, great work as always 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This genuinely looks the bomb
I also add cocoa powder towards the end but cinnamon is an alternative, yum
I've seen recipes with coffee too. It's about the bitterness I guess. It just balances the flavours.
Hi Al. Hope you’re ok. Would love to see more of your amazing recipes!
Hello Al, I been following your recipes for quite a while but you seem to have gone off the scene - missing your Indian cooking vids - hope you're well, what's happening mate?
Thanks Al. Inspiring as usual !!
Love your videos, thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Al,is it possible you could put a heat rating on your dishes please.?
Al long time no see , 5 months and no recipes ?
Al I get paid Friday boi Bach, guess what we’re having. cheers m8
Very similar to the way I do it nice one geez. PS ,where can I get that pan from?. Cheers mate
Hi Al, any recipes lined up having withdrawal symptoms haha
very nice al a bit of garlic bread to go with that. can also use quorn for vegi option
Just made this and it is the best chilli i've ever made! You forgot to add the garlic in your video btw
Where have you gone Al. You are a great curry chef
I like to add powdered ancho chilli powder im liking the cinnamon never thought of that
Hi Al. What can I use instead of the red wine please? non alcohol
Just leave it out. It won't be a problem. If you had white wine, cooking it gets rid of the alcohol.
I'll try this. However, loathe though I am to use bought in mixes, it's hard to get any better than the Old El Paso Chili mix. I've never bettered it.
looks good cant wait to give it a go.
Al you should try making Cincinnati chili. It has special spices and other additions I think your fans would like.
Did this last night, really good chilli al
Never thought of putting cinnamon in a chilli, ile be trying this soon,I'll be using quorn mince though.
Had chilli con carne today. Didn’t know about cinnamon so will give this a go next time. Cheers Al!
Another winner from you Al. Thank you for sharing xx
Another gem. well done Al. Never used cinnamon or cumin in Chilli. My wife does not like cumin.Any thoughts on another flavour which may be used instead of cumin? Excellent presentation as per usual. 'nuff said.
Paprika, smoked Paprika or Cayenne pepper might suit your needs.
thank you
Ohhhhhh yes al ! Can’t wait to try this another great vid
Wow fantastic best I've tasted 5 stsr
Alllll where are you !
Looks lovely. When did the garlic go in?
Smaffs59 either with the onion or during simmer. Must me on the cutting room floor. Oops lol
Hi Al making this now but the ingredients list is different to what u state in the video?
In the description is always correct. I tweak the recipes afterwards
We miss you Al
Hi Al. Got any new recipes coming out on the channel soon? Loved the Thai curries 👍
Absolutely awesome!, I just know this tasted great.
Cracking recipe Al and I would never have thought of using cinnamon but definitely will next time I cook a chilli !
I've always added a Cinnamon Stick..Star Anise too
does the garlic get added with the onions? Thanks
it does. thx
Gonna try the added cinnamon stick this evening 👍
Yes Al! Cheers big man
I add sweet chilli sauce too and red peppers
This looks a great recipe cannot wait to try it. Your my favourite BIR curry chef looking at this you maybe my favourite chilli chef too lol
Where have you gone
Also Al, at what point do you add the garlic? You don't add it in the video!?
Just fry in with the onion
What kind of pan is that Al?
When did you put the crushed garlic gloves in, because this isn't clear on the video. Regards Jim
Hi James. You can add at the onion stage or during cooking after stock and tomatoes are added. So frustrating when you miss a bit out. (Scream). I'm fine now lol
@@AlsKitchen cheers Al keep up the great videos.
Looks good Al.
Just going through my channels noticed you are absent. Hope all is well , thanks for the videos. 😃
Who else loves white rice 🍚?
Hi Al hope you are ok ? missing your videos and new recipes
Great video Al. Not sure about the music though. Felt as though the volume was going up and down when the music kicked in. Cracking commentary though.
HI Brian, the music does go up and down. Between commentary.
Are you ok Al where have you gone ?
Where are you Al?
We need more pure vegetarian ideas, please. BIR are usually very good at having a large selection on there menus.
Al you've got garlic in the ingredients in the description.
But you don't add it in the video.
At what point would you do it?
With onion at start
Al, try that recipe with 5 or 6 fresh green finger chilli’s and 1 / 2 teaspoon of good honey, put the honey in when you fry the onion off, also a pinch of fennel seed 👍 boom 💥
I'm salivating like a rabid dog.
Thanks, Al!
Al could you show us how to make keema curry, I’m struggling to find a good one there’s that many different recipes how there tried some and they was rubbish. Cheers
I’d love this as well - also a chicken shahee (chicken and mince - please Al)
Superb Al!
The recipe states 1.5 tbs of cumin , but the video.says 1 tsp of cumin .
Which is correct ?
Written
Al I miss your recipes where are you ?
Hi Al we need some more recipes, when's the next one coming?
When does the garlic go in
i make mine with turkey mince .its just as tasty as beef .
i love your currys but this is kinda basic and needs slow cooking for a long time , also try adding a spoon of horseradish its amazing.
That looks mint defo doing a batch of this two tins of kidney beans=heaven
Love this channel,but where are you al need more recipes
Back in the new year. New ideas new recipes
Good one Al!
