There are several comments on MSG. Please see this link and come to a conclusion. https://www.fda.gov/food/ingredientspackaginglabeling/foodadditivesingredients/ucm328728.htm
Really disappointed with you chef that you added msg ,which is harmful to health and is banned . Actually you should be making your viewers aware of msg's harmful effects on the health and tell them to avoid it.
Is this recipe health for people about 60. Instead of tofu, can I use paneer.
Did he really say add MSG?
nice n simple recipe ..looks healthy..
MSG is harmful for health and it is a proven fact.Then why to use it? Can't we get any substitute for it?
Can this be used as a substitute for paneer in all recipes
Why do we have to see your face ALL THE TIME. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY!!!
