Just finished eating the chana masala I made from your recipe. I doubled the recipe and used soaked dry bean. I omitted the oil, too. The best cm I have ever had! Thanks so much!
Hey Peggy! Thanks for sharing and letting me know. I'm thrilled to hear that this was the best chana masala you've had! I'll have to try it without oil next time!
can I ask you when you used no oil did you heat the cumin and mustard seeds dry or did you put a little water in. I am an oil free vegan and would like to know if you used water or dry or veggie broth?
@@RainbowPlantLife Hi my name is Edmarys I love your videos and recipes. My daughters order and instant pot ultra as a mother's day present for my .I'm so excited but I what to know a few things about the instant pot.I don't know if they 6quart is a good size for me or it's too big.I also want to know if I could make cakes in the instant pot ultra 3 quart ???
Amchar can also be found in Caribbean stores especially those frequented by Trinidadians. Almost half our population are Indian descendants. Looking forward to trying this recipe
Wow, great video. I love the explanations of why to do certain steps, and the shortcuts for using US domestic alternatives. It's a well thought out and friendly approach, I wish more videos were like this!
I will definitely try this! I LOVE Indian food and use my digital pressure cooker all the time, so this is perfect. I would also like to see an Aloo Gobi [think I spelled it right] pressure cooker/Instant pot recipe, please. :) My mother is from Spain, so I am well versed in pressure cooked beans and seasoned rice, I just can't seem to figure out how to layer Indian spices.
I saw you on Caitlin’s channel and I love dal and then you said you had a Chana Masala recipe! Can’t wait to make it. I even have the dried mango powder because I found an Indian grocery store that I love. Thanks for sharing this! Preordered your cookbook too. 😀 and I so agree about gloves for hot peppers! Don’t skip them!
Hi Kathryn! Thank you for stopping by and for ordering my cookbook! I so appreciate that! And love that you already have some dried mango powder...sounds like you have a well-stocked spice kit :)
Made this recipe tonight and it was absolutely delicious, and made me seem like quite the chef to my roommates! If you ever find yourself with a mental roadblock for fresh video ideas. I definitely would like to see your take on a vegan instant pot dal makhani!
Yum!!! I would LOVE more Indian recipes! It’s one of my favorite types of cuisine, but I can never seem to get it quite right at home, so this is exactly what I need!
I made this for my Christmas dinner since I don't eat pot roast -- it was fantastic. Doubled the recipe, used canned beans, had to cook for 16 min on pressure instead of 8. Came out watery so I left it uncovered on slow cook for a couple hours and it reduced down to a beautiful thick masala. Super easy.
I’m so excited by how well this turned out! Truly delicious. I used Amchur powder and chickpeas that’s had been soaked overnight. Also stirred in some fresh spinach at the end. YUM! Thank you so much!
But canned tomatoes aren’t fresh. And the USA is a big country - perhaps you might be able to find some good tomatoes somewhere instead of slating the entire country as not having any good tomatoes?
I said that partially in jest :) Sorry if you didn’t understand my sense of humor! I use fresh tomatoes in the summer when they’re in season; otherwise they don’t add much flavor and this dish tastes better with canned tomatoes.
You are spot on with the fresh tomato comment. Roma's come close to being usable. I use canned crushed tomatoes in my Indian recipes, and they never disappoint.
ALWAYS look forward to your videos.!! Literally needed this I’ve been trying to make Indian in my instant pot for the last three days hahaha always has weak flavor so thank you.!!
Just found this treasure and I'm going to create it today. I am so in love with my Quick Cooker and fairly new to it. You make all recipes so doable and delicious. Thank so very much.
I'm not much of a cook, but last night I made your Instant Pot Chana Masala and wow, it came out great!! I woke up this morning with the taste still in my mouth. Yum. My daughter asked where I got the recipe from and I told her from a UA-cam channel, Rainbow something. She lit up and said "Rainbow Plant Life?" She's a vegan and it turns out she follows you too. So we did some bonding over your great videos. I really thank you for making it so simple. I love Indian food and in the past I've looked at recipes for some of my favorite indian foods, but they are always so complicated that I got discouraged. If you can make it simple enough that even I can make great Indian food, then you've really accomplished something!!
Sometimes I can not afford some ingredients, but I love your recipes!! Not only because they are healthy, but also because you look like my daughter. ☺️🙏🏼
I just want to say thank you, this is the only veggie-based recipe my son will eat. he actually asks for it?! we have it with the naan bread and the kids love it. :)
Delicious dish, producing luscious aromas that wafted through the house for several hours afterwards! Cooked according to the recipe, but included a 15 minute post-pressure cook medium-heat saute, in which I added a bunch of baby kale. Also, added a touch of sambal oelek to my bowl for extra heat and acidity. Finally, be sure to squeeze in the lemon juice as the recipe suggests!
I made this and it's AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing. I've never been able to make a Curry dish that doesn't just taste like cinnamon, and this recipe is better than in restaurants. Can't wait to try your other recipes.
Oh yay! That's wonderful to hear! Thank you so much, Michelle! So happy you liked it. If you like Indian food/curries, I really recommend trying my red lentil curry www.rainbowplantlife.com/blog/vegan-red-lentil-curry :)
I have a question.. when I use soaked chickpeas instead of canned chickpeas I consequently need to set the instantpot for 35 instead of 8 minutes. Does this take away from the texture from the rest of the food? As it is cooked longer?
Hi there, I have made this recipe many times with dried chickpeas (I prefer them slightly to canned chickpeas), and I soak them for 8 hours and cook for 35 minutes. The texture comes out perfectly, it doesn't get soggy and the beans hold up better than when using canned beans for 8 minutes :)
This is a great recipe. We generally sauté onions for a longer time and then add sauté them with tomatoes until oil starts leaving from the sides. This gives a more flavorful gravy.
Hi my name is Edmarys I really like your videos and your recipes. I'm waiting for my instant pot ultra and I want to know if I could make those recipes in my instant pot ultra
This looks more watery than what you get at a restaurant. What could we change to the recipe to give the sauce more thickness, closer to other Indian curries?
Hi Sandra! I see the canned tomatoes in the recipe link section for the ingredients (right after kosher salt and before vegetable broth) and in the directions (step 5). Are you not seeing that?
Hello, looks delicious... You seem to have used the canned chana which anyway cooks way faster than the ones soaked overnight... my question is, would you have any idea that how much time the IP would take to cook the soaked chana? Thanks
Hi Niyati! Yes, I've made it with soaked, dried chickpeas as well in the Instant Pot and I cooked it for 35 minutes at high pressure. Comes out perfectly!
That looks great - chana masala is one of my favorites! I've just ordered an Instant Pot, and will be trying this out. Thanks, and more of the same! :-)
I am a big fan of your videos and am overjoyed that my insta pot and your Insta pot recipe book arrived today. Tonight I will do this curry, my family and I love your recipes. Looking forward to more
Mine has literally just come up to pressure and I am now waiting for the Instant Pot to do its magic on this recipe. First time attempting a traditional Indian dish and I am so excited to see how it turns out. The smells emanating from the kitchen are telling me I am going to be a very happy pappy shortly! PS - Kitty and The Pooch have their nostrils twitching in anticipation of just what Dad has concocted.
@@pragawa Is delicious - I added a tad more liquid because I used fresh tomatoes that looked up to it, and I eased into the spices - I came home from work, added the extra teaspoons of coriander, cumin, and red chili pepper, and added another can of chickpeas because it was so popular it was almost gone before I began and let it all slow cook an hour to blend. Even so, everyone at work was lusting for a bite after smelling Ver. 1.0 wafting through the office :) Very happy and will be to the molecule on the recipe on my 2nd go. Now to heat my naan and enjoy . . . :)
@@RainbowPlantLife Thank YOU - a pleasure to find your channel and a joy to know there are many more wonderful things that will be coming to my Instant Pot. I have been a vegetarian for about a year and a half now and am looking for tasty ways to liven up my menu. Your channel (as will your cookbook!) go a long way to making a meat-free lifestyle sustainable if not a deliberately delicious decision!
Hey David and Glenda! Thanks for checking in. I've been working on some other exciting projects but will have a video up this week :) Thank you for the support :)
I’ve made chana masala before stove top, bought your cookbook, and made this recipe from your cookbook in my new Zavor multi-cooker. It was delicious, but needed to watch your video to answer a question: Did you mean Western bay leaf (Laurus nobilis) or Indian bay leaf (Indian cassia/ Cinnamomum tamala). I saw you used the Indian bay leaf in the video so used that. I dry sautéed the veggies without oil, used a bell pepper instead of a chili and substituted paprika for the Indian chili pepper (so it wouldn’t be so hot) and used chana masala instead of garam masala. After the beans were cooked, I added two cups of chopped cauliflower, simmered for twenty minutes, added two cups of peas at the end, and blended around two cups of the mix in the Vitamix and added it back to thicken it. Thanks so much for bringing Indian food cooking to the multi-cooker. With all the Indian stores around and Amazon, don't hesitate to use Indian herbs and spices.
Thanks for this! Although I grew up in California, and lived a few years in India, I never took time to notice that the bay leaves were different! Living in different countries, I've gotten so used to using what I can find....
@@nicolemichelle7664 I'm in California too, have traveled in India and like to cook a number of Indian dishes. I ordered an Indian cassia/Cinamomum tamala tree on line, planted it in the back yard, and it's thriving, 7 feet tall now. Now there's always leaves for whatever I want to cook. It's especially good in chai.
@@maraschaeffer3010 I live in Malaysia now--I expect the bay leaves here are of the Indian variety, but quite a few western imports are available--fewer since the pandemic. We have no garden to plant in, but now I'm interested to see if any of these Indian cassia trees grow in our area. I love fresh herbs and I really love chai!
Hello, love all your videos!!! :) Question, i don’t own an instant pot, could you provide cooking times for a slow cooker? Would that work? Also, could I still use dry chic peas? Thank you for everything! (Btw, I love you and your videos so much that I have gone to your channel and watching every single video starting from the very 1st video you posted all the way to current ones, i don’t want to miss a thing!).

This dish looks delicious. Thank you for sharing it along with teaching Indian cooking tips. What variety of chilis would you recommend? I’m thinking of growing some, and there are different kinds available. For example, check out what this company offers: www.sandiaseed.com/blogs/news/hot-indian-peppers. Would any of these work in your chana masala?

Oh this recipe sounds perfect! I love that it's so healthy too, great for staying full. More instant pot recipes please!
Hey Nedina! thank you for your lovely comments, as always. I love making instant pot recipes, so you'll definitely see more of those!
I was hoping you would do some Indian recipes. I am looking forward to making this one!
Yay, I finally did! Thanks, Liz!
I made this last night, except I didn't have the pepper seeds or serrano peppers. It was still very good. Thanks for the recipe!

Random side of UA-cam got me here at 1:15 am and now hungry! Thanks! :)
Haha i love it! At least you're hungry for something healthy at 1 a.m.!

Yay a new video! I've been waiting for one from you. I've only had chana masala once at a restaurant but I will be making it at home now!
Hey Sandy! Thanks for your sweet comment. Looks like you're going to have to change that and eat some more chana masala - it's so good!
I definitely have a baby mouth… is there a way to make this not spicy at all? 😂 If I omit everything spicy, will the flavor take a huge hit?
Would love more Indian Food Instant Pot Recipes! Especially for terrible cooks like me!
Hey Anuradha! Haha I'm sure you're not terrible. Just trying makes you better than you think :)
From the video & for my own/others reference - Dried Chickpeas - 1.5Cups/12oz/340g, soaked for 8hrs/overnight in water.
I didn’t have any of the whole spices - only ground spices. It was still awesome!
Made this! I was out of coriander but it still came out great. So delicious!
Melissa! That makes me so happy to hear! Glad you enjoyed it, and good to know you don’t need coriander!
Such a delicious recipe! Loved it! Thank you Nisha 😄

you're saving my life tonight with this recipe - thanks so much :holding-back-tears:
This is a great recipe. We generally sauté onions for a longer time and then add sauté them with tomatoes until oil starts leaving from the sides. This gives a more flavorful gravy.
This looks sooo good! I may just cook this on the oven on low heat because I don’t have an instant pot. I love channa masala!
That's a fantastic idea! Chana masala is the BEST. Thank you, dear!
A beautiful woman, and another recipe to try on my new instapot. I can't wait to try. I love spicey foods. Thank you.
Enjoying your videos. Thank you. I am looking for a substitute for the tomatoes in this recipe, any suggestions?
I don’t have Insta pot, what about re-shooting tutorials of your awesome insta pot recipes minus the instant pot? Love that I discovered your channel

I have made three of your recipes so far and they were all INCREDIBLE!!!! I can not wait to buy your cookbook ♥️♥️♥️
Why are American tomatoes worse than canned tomatoes? I'm just curious...
Thank you for posting this video! My Insta Pot just arrived I used this recipe as my first experiment. Turned out delicious :)
This looks more watery than what you get at a restaurant. What could we change to the recipe to give the sauce more thickness, closer to other Indian curries?
What broth did you add? Sorry I’m confused what broth was it?
How long could you keep this in the fridge?
Hi Lesha, I usually eat it as leftovers for up to 4-5 days after making it.
Am I missing something or did you not discus the amount of broth to use???? It would be very helpful to know what amount to use.....
the full recipe with all the measurements is linked in the description box :)
What are the time settings? 8 mins or 35 mins? The instructions are confusing
Sounds delicious. It will be the next meal I cook!
That makes me so happy! Thanks Peggy! Let me know how it goes!
Even with the instant pot, we have to soak Chana for 8
Hours???!
Well that was yummy!! Please make more insta pot recipes.
You forgot to mention the tomatoes in the recipe link :)
Hi Sandra! I see the canned tomatoes in the recipe link section for the ingredients (right after kosher salt and before vegetable broth) and in the directions (step 5). Are you not seeing that?
This looks so good! Fresh yet hearty and super fragrant! Thank you for the inspiration!
Hi sweetie! Thank you! Yes, all of those adjectives are spot on :) Have a great weekend!

15 PSI for 36 minutes? when i cook soaked chickpeas with that amount of pressure, they are just about right after just 12 minutes.
Thanks for this tip. 35 minutes sounded long to me too
Watching this in 2024 as I just bought an Instant Pot a month ago 😄
Flavors were good but I wish it had more sauce.
I am a big fan of your videos and am overjoyed that my insta pot and your Insta pot recipe book arrived today. Tonight I will do this curry, my family and I love your recipes. Looking forward to more
Wonderful! Thank you so much for your love note :) Hope you enjoy your new instant pot and this recipe!

Hi Kelsie, so awesome to hear that it was amazing! Thank you for letting me know :)

Some restaurants’ chickpea masala is very green. Do you know why this is?
It might be because some restaurants use fresh green chickpeas, usually popular during winter when they’re in season.
