We would think so. You will have to modify the salt to meat ratio a little, and you won't need the papaya paste. If you are in Calcutta go to New Market and ask for a small chicken for chaap. The chicken should be preferably less than 800 g after removing feathers, skin and guts. Cut it into four pieces (two breasts and two legs) and then follow the recipe. Reduce the cooking time too since chicken cooks much faster.
I'm pleasantly surprised that no one is abusing one another because " beef" is mentioned. This is the Calcutta I grew up in and this is The Calcutta I would want to be in always. P.S- i nice recipe!
wandering soul i completely agree with you in the present climate as even celebs like kajol have had to clarify they had buff meat and not beef.any whiff of beef and you've had it.
আমার শহর, আমার রাজ্য, আমার দেশটা এমনই থাক। আমিষে নিরামিষে, মটনে বিফে, একাকার হয়ে, একে অপরের দিকে চোখ রাঙিয়ে নয়, একে অপরের কাঁধে হাত রেখে। যার যা পছন্দ সে সেই স্বাদ নিক। এমন দৃশ্য শুধু চেখেই নয়, চোখে দেখেও আনন্দ। খুব ভালো লাগে আপনাদের রান্না। এটাও অনবদ্য।
I live in the US now and if it wasn't for this channel, my connection to the food I grew up loving would have long been erased. It is so hard getting food like this in Indian restaurants in Midwestern US. Every single time I have cooked one of your recipes in my apartment, my American roommates have been bowled over. They have tried the recipes themselves and have developed a new love for and interest in cooking Indian and more specifically classic home style Bengali dishes. And that cultural exchange, that enlightenment, is the true purpose of great food. Thank you for this.
can't resist my self commenting on ur video. U guys are taking business for many shops. Seriously speaking real details with your uniqueness and the background score is also phenomenal
Love it.. I miss Kolkata food… so much.. living in US now.. but every time I cook, following your recipes.. I feel like m in my home town.. Thanks Insiya..
No wonder Chaap costs reasonably higher than other preps, totally blown away by the ingredients used for that thick gravy. Although I am not a big fan of oily food but this is divine! Sikkim better be ready for this side of beef prep when Bong eats hits Sikkim. I heart you guys!
This is the first time I saw in the video all the ingredients that my mom used to make chap and this is the authentic method of having the chap made, I've also seen other videos but they did not use these ingredients or they have diff style. am 💯 percent sure this is gonna be tasty cause it's my mom ingredients and thank you for your video cause I always forget one or two ingredients while making. This could be my forever reminder video when I'm making it. EDIT : I AM REALLY THANKFUL I'VE FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING SIMILAR TO MY MOM'S FOOD .THANK YOU

Superb. Marvellous, I must say. You both have a God gifted creativity . Your cooking methodology is definitely fantastic and all the recipes contain that traditional touch , which makes your channel best from others. Video editing is fabulous. I am a great fan of your channel. Keep on documenting Bengali Cuisine and represent our Traditional Cuisine worldwide. Good wishes.
this video is just like a celebration. 😆monta bhalo hoye gelo. every year ami wait kori ei ramzan maser janya.... because of those food. those r like " kathor durbalata" . love it.
ami toader sob videos dekhi and i have tried many of them.. kaal amar friends ra asachilo and i made mishti polao and chicken chaap(inspared by bief chaap) all of them loved it and that was my very first attempt of cooking both of the dishes... thank u saptarshi da and insia di for everything that u have shared with us and keep loving the kolkata cuisine... and If u allow me i would like to share a traditional recipe of my family with mutton....
Yumm! I have so many memories of having Chicken chaap and rumali ruti, and it was always completely worth it (regardless of how I felt the next morning). Now I have to go and try this one out asap - thank you so so much!
এটাই বাঙ্গালীর বৈশিষ্ট্য সে যেখানকার হোক না কেন। বাঙ্গালী জানে সবাইকে সাথে নিয়ে থাকার আনন্দ। সবার ওপরে মানুষ সত্য। এরকম থাকুক বাঙ্গালী। আমার খুবই ভালো লাগলো একমত হলে👍👍👍
I thought the Hindutva brigade would destroy the comment section. Surprised to find it so peaceful! Just disappointed at the number of dislikes. Come on! Look ahead of religions! World is one!
I tried making this and it turned fabulous. The moment I made the spice paste, even before adding the beef, it was smelling like those restaurants.Thanks a lot Bong Eats
Oh wow, I could practically smell it. Love how you've broken down the recipe for beginners, thank you! I've never cooked beef before but now I think I should give it a shot.
great receipe once again, one suggestion (you can add dried rose petal and kabab chini in the biryani masala) it enhances the taste....I followed ur receipie with my biryani/chaap masala...turned out really great...one more suggestion instead of raw onion paste with cashew & posto paste, try with boiled onion or beresta paste, tastes even better, let me know how was it once you try with these changes, would wait to hear from you....keep posting....
আমার বাবা বানাতেন এই ভাবে ।কখনও রেসিপিটা লিখে রাখার প্রয়োজন বোধ করিনি।পরে বুঝেছিলাম কি ভুল করেছিলাম বাবাও নেই আর বাড়িতে বানানো চাপ ও নেই ।অনেক ধন্য়বাদ.🌸 তোমাদেরকে ।মাট্ন চাপ বানাবো।
This is the most difficult thing I have ever watched in the middle of the night. I am now SO hungry. The nearly five-year-old junior offspring has said of the hands in the video, "She is a most excellent chef cooker." And while I am appalled at her terrible use of words, I agree utterly in principle. I'm going to go watch again and salivate. Thanks for the recipe, guys.
jkhon patro pokkho amar bon ke dekhte ase ami same ay way te ay video dkhe mutton chaap baniechilm ,,taste ta owsm hoyechilo,,khub nam korechilo sobai,,thanks bong eats
There is a place near Baruipur railway station called Asma Hotel. The beef chaap keeps on heating in display. Absoloutely loved the smell of that. Your delicious recipe combined with the smell ingrained in me made for a perfect evening.
Wonderful as always. However, it'd be egregious to reserve it for only Ramzan and Eid. Such a design should be good for any occasion even if it's a make-believe one. Thank you.
This is the PERFECT Ramadan/Eid special recipe! Will share with all my friends and family in Calcutta. Thank you for chronicling and keeping alive the cultural (and therefore food!) diversity of the city :)
Thank you for saying that, Pujarini. That is, in fact, our main motto. Calcutta (and India) has so much diversity of food that it would be a shame to let that go.
I was waiting for this recipe for a long time now and finally you guys did it and the sone pe suhaga news is mutton biryani recipe is on the way this can't be any better thank you bong eats
Hats off to you guys .. tomader videos dekhe sikhe apply kore ami amar barite cook kore maa baba ke impress korte pari ... 😁 The best cooking channel ever . Accurate taste odour flavour ashe apna der recipe te ... 😋😘
This is nothing short of a culinary feat! And the process is beautiful. Eta bananor dhyorjo aar khomota kono din hobe kina Jani na, kintu eta dekhei happy hoye gelam!
yaayy... chaap is done... I am more excited about next video..that must be the biriyani... 😍😍 and সব ভালো যার, শেষ ভালো তার, this special will end with Phirni... 👏👏👏👏👏 eagerly waiting for next two fridays... more love to you guys... 😆😆
I love the way you guys present the cooking process without any commentary in the background or even showing anyone's face, yet very effective in explaining the process and ingredients. One point on this recipe though - I was born and brought up in Kolkata and now I keep going back once a year at least. Like most Bongs, I am a hard core fan of Biriyani and Chaap. I am yet to see a boneless chaap served in the traditional Muglai restaurants.
Thank you, Deb. As far as we have seen beef chaap in Calcutta is boneless. Mutton chaap on the other hand is made from actual mutton "chop" which is beaten and flattened along with the bones.
